Fresh from his CMA New Artist of the Year win last night, Morgan Wallen has announced the release of his new album ‘Dangerous: The Double Album’ on 8th January 2021.
The double album features 30 tracks and has been in the making for nearly 3 years. The album was written largely by Wallen during that time and features contributions from songwriters including Ashley Gorley, Shane McAnally, Hillary Lindsey, Rhett Akins and Lee Thomas Miller, as well as Eric Church, Jason Isbell, Hardy, Ernest and Ryan Vojtesak (aka Charlie Handsome).
‘Dangerous: The Double Album’ features the hits ‘More Than My Hometown’ and ‘7 Summers’ as well as Wallen’s cover of Isbell’s ‘Cover Me Up’, a countrified version of the Diplo collaboration ‘Heartless’ and New Year release ‘This Bar’.
“As y’all may have heard, I announced a double album last night, and I couldn’t be more excited about it,” shares Wallen. “The ‘double album’ idea started off as just a joke between me and my manager because we had accumulated so many songs over the past couple of years. Then quarantine hit, and we realized it might actually be possible to have enough time to make it happen. I also ended up writing quite a few more songs during the quarantine with some of my good buddies. After a few months of production and fine tuning, I am so proud of what we came up with. I know 32 (eventual) songs sounds like a lot to digest, but I truly did my best to make sure there’s not a song that I would press ‘next’ on. I also wanted the songs to speak to multiple phases of life and have multiple different sounds based on my influences and based on what I enjoy. The three songs that we will put out next week will hopefully encapsulate a lot of the project for you and hold you off until January. Thank y’all!!”
