Lainey Wilson announces ‘Whirlwind’ album

Wilson’s third project will be out this summer

Lainey Wilson has announced her highly anticipated new album, Whirlwind, via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville out globally on August 23rd.

A daringly honest look into the singer’s life and journey around the globe and produced by Grammy Award-winning producer, Jay Joyce, Whirlwind is an innovative and grounded extension of Wilson’s signature sound. Bridging together a diverse yet sonically cohesive collection of songs, the record bends genres while remaining true to the singer’s Western roots.

By guiding listeners through each song and an array of emotions, Wilson weaves together storytelling with melodies – creating narratives and storylines that capture the essence of life’s highs, lows, and in-betweens, solidifying her role as one of the greatest songwriters of her generation.

“I am so excited to finally announce Whirlwind. This album has been a long time coming and I can’t wait for the world to have this body of work in their hands soon,” Wilson says. “This new chapter of music is the most cathartic and personal piece of art I’ve ever made. I hope this record brings some peace to your whirlwind and wraps its arms around you like it did for me.”

Available on Wilson’s merch store, Wilson’s “Wild Horses” fan club members have exclusive access to pre-order a limited edition, signed black and white vinyl.

In 2024, Wilson won a Grammy for Best Country Album, People’s Choice Award for Female Country Artist of The Year, a CMT Music Award for Female Video of The Year, and made her Australian touring debut. With no signs of slowing down, fans can catch Wilson on her Country’s Cool Again North American 2024 headlining tour and on the Academy of Country Music Awards (ACM) stage later this month in Frisco, Texas.

Wilson will open Bell Bottoms Up in partnership with TC Restaurant Group in Nashville this summer. The 27,000-square-foot three-story venue will have two stages, four bars, and a mezzanine floor with a lounge bar that overlooks the first-floor stage and dining area. The rooftop level will house a ’70s Western aesthetic including, a lively dancefloor, disco-inspired décor, and frozen drinks. Guests will get a glimpse of the Bayou through a fun basement-level space slated to open later this summer with craft cocktails, immersive décor, and a live music experience to remember.
