The new album will be available on Valentine’s Day 2025
The War And Treaty will release their fourth full-length album, Plus One, on February 14th via Mercury Nashville. On Plus One, the husband and wife duo, Michael and Tanya Trotter, double down on the powerful sense of togetherness that has always fueled their music, offering up 18 life-affirming songs aimed at providing a shared experience of hope and healing and much-needed joy.
“We see this record as an open invitation to be a part of what we’re doing—it came from wanting to be the hope we believe people need right now, as well as the hope that we need for ourselves,” Tanya Trotter shares. “One of our main intentions with this album is to inspire people to share themselves with others, and open themselves up to the possibility of being loved,” Michael Trotter Jr. shares.
Mainly produced by Michael and recorded at the legendary FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, Plus One marks The War And Treaty’s follow-up to Lover’s Game—a 2023 LP including standout track “Blank Page” which nabbed a Grammy nomination for Best American Roots Song, with The War And Treaty nominated for Best New Artist. To create their most extravagant body of work, the duo enlisted their longtime live band and dreamed up a singular sound touched with elements of gospel, bluegrass, contemporary country, classic soul, symphonic pop, folk-rock, and more. Partly made in collaboration with esteemed producers like Jonathan Singleton (Luke Combs, Chase Rice), John Shanks (Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow), and Jesse Frasure (Jelly Roll, Kelsea Ballerini), the result is a transcendent album firmly rooted in their timeless musicality and forward-thinking vision.
The track listing’s myriad high points include “Love Like Whiskey,” a soul-soothing portrait of a love strong enough to overcome any obstacle, co-written by the Trotters and Miranda Lambert; the wildly ecstatic “Called You By Your Name,” a breakneck-paced rallying cry influenced by the black gospel tradition of shout music; “Drink From Me,” featuring virtuoso guitarist Billy Strings; “Leads Me Home,” “Stealing a Kiss,” “Can I Get An Amen,” and “Carried Away,” out now.
In March, they are set to embark on the Plus One Tour, which sees the duo perform in more than 30 cities across the US. The tour starts on March 26th in Minneapolis and will conclude on June 19th in Bristol, Tennessee. General ticket on-sale opens on Friday, December 13th at 10 am local time.
