Luke Bryan is set to release his eighth studio album, “Mind of a Country Boy,” marking his first new project in four years. The album is scheduled to drop on September 27 and will feature his latest single, “Closing Time in California,” along with the previously released track “Love You, Miss You, Mean It.”
In a press release, Bryan expressed his enthusiasm for the album, stating, “I’ve been able to take my time and really compile songs for this album. If it’s a song that I cut two or three years ago, and I still love it, and it still sounds fresh, then I feel like it’ll stand the test of time.”
Bryan emphasized the album’s diverse musical elements and his exploration of new vocal techniques. “I think this album, as I’ve tried to do with all my albums, just has a little bit of everything,” he said. “Each song has its place and meaning, and I’ve worked to avoid being overly redundant.”
Reflecting on his career, the “American Idol” judge acknowledged the growth and evolution in his music. “As you grow older and mature, subject matters change and things that you can sing about change,” he noted. “But the love of finding the right song and one that moves people is still at the forefront of what I want to do as an artist.”
Bryan is currently touring in support of the album on his Mind of a Country Boy Tour, which began in April and will continue through September 14. Fans can find ticket information and tour details on Bryan’s official website.
