Jake Owen's 'American Love' drops in July

Last year, I saw Owen perform a couple of the new tunes at Stagecoach Fest. I look forward to hearing the album. Read more from the press release below...

The new album from RCA recording artist Jake Owen, American Love, will be released on July 29.

“This record has been very enlightening because I found myself through the songs. I got back to basics with American Love,” Owen says of the project.

“This is me, this is what I want to say and this is what I want people to remember me for.”

Award-winning producers and songwriters Shane McAnally and Ross Copperman co-produced eight of the tracks (one of those with Luke Laird). For the first time in his career, Jake is a co-producer on three tracks with Lukas Bracewell. There are very special guest background vocalists on American Love, including GRAMMY, CMA & ACM winners Chris Stapleton and Hillary Lindsey.

The debut single, “American Country Love Song,” is currently No. 17 on Billboard & Country Aircheck with over 127K singles sold to date and has been streamed on Spotify nearly 6 million times.

American Love is a new beginning for Owen. “Over the past few years I’ve experienced the unexpected,” he says. “My Dad received a cancer diagnosis and I, unfortunately, went through a divorce. People probably thought I would record songs that reflected those difficult times, but I found myself gravitating to songs that had more of a positive vibe and actually made me feel better by singing them. Music truly does seem to help the healing process.
 

“I can’t wait for people to hear these new tunes, “ Owen continues. “We just added a horn section to my band out on the road and the energy I feel on stage with these guys takes it to a another level.”
