The big debut.
Today, Wyatt Flores officially announced his debut album Welcome To The Plains, and shared tons of details with fans about the project and what it means to him.
In addition to revealing the 14-song tracklist, Flores told fans that the record will be released on October 18th and was inspired by his native Oklahoma and ultimate search for happiness. From stories about his life, family and many places he’s been, it is highly-anticipated by fans and was produced by Beau Bedford (Orville Peck, Shane Smith & The Saints).
They recorded the songs between Los Angeles and Asheville, North Carolina (a pretty stark contrast), and the songs feature writers like Old Crow Medicine Show’s Ketch Secor and Aaron Raitiere, as Wyatt details the struggle of leaving his hometown of Stillwater and dealing with the highs and lows of life on the road as an up-and-coming musician.
Wyatt says that it’s essentially half heartbreak, half happy, and it sounds like my kind of album, that’s for sure:
“It’s an album about home and a search for happiness. It’s an album about Stillwater, Oklahoma, and all the other little towns that have raised people like you and me.
It’s an album about my family, and the people and places in my life who have defined who I am today. This album is happy on one side and heartbreak on the other, and whoever you are, I hope you find something you love in here.”
He also shared a lengthy post on Instagram with the album cover, adding that he “worked hard to make a classic” record and he can’t wait for fans to hear it:
Additionally, Wyatt will embark on his Welcome To The Plains Tour this fall, and is releasing a new single in “Don’t Wanna Say Goodnight” tomorrow.
