Coming soon.
Lainey Wilson announced today that a new single called “4x4xU” will be out everywhere next Thursday, July 4th, which is the third song from her forthcoming Whirlwind album. She has already released “Country’s Cool Again” and “Hang Tight Honey.”
“4x4xU” was co-written by Wilson along with Jon Decious and Aaron Raitiere, and will be a bit different from what we’ve heard so far in that it’s a stripped-back, deeply personal ballad that focuses on “the theme of finding solace within a loved one amidst life’s whirlwinds.”
The aforementioned two songs are super upbeat, kind of funky and fun, so I’m really intrigued to hear “4x4xU” and a bit of a different side of Lainey.
Additionally, the Louisiana native put out the full 14-song tracklist for her new record today, which features the already fan-favorite song with Miranda Lambert “Good Horses.” Lainey says writing this album has helped her stay “grounded in ways you’d never believe,” and brought her back to her roots and who she is deep down:
“Writing & recording these 14 songs over the past couple of years has helped me stay grounded in ways you’d never believe.
This album brought me back to my roots and made me feel at home during times when I couldn’t have been further away and my biggest hope is that it gives you that same sense of comfort that it has for me.
‘Whirlwind’ will be yours August 23rd and surprise, 4x4xU will be out July 4th!”
Whirlwind is due out everywhere on August 23rd.
