Now what do we have here…
Kip Moore released his seventh studio album Reason to Believe in May, and it was another impressive project, which finds him reflecting on grief, resilience, faith and hope. Kip consistently puts out stellar albums, and despite being truly one of the most talented artists in mainstream country in terms of his vocals and songwriting prowess, he has remained of the most underrated artists in country in my humble opinion.
And while it’s only been about fix months or so since he put the record out, it looks like he has something new up his sleeve, so to speak.
Earlier on his Instagram stories, Kip shared part of what looks to be some sort of song art cover or something along those lines, where you can see a few letters and a sketch of a wilting flower in black with a cream background.
He captioned it by saying:
“Stay Tuned”
He then shared the following video on his Instagram feed, which showed a bed of flowers in front of a simple stool and you see a quick shot of Kip sitting on it at the end:
Of course, this could be many different things, and Kip does have a song called “Flowers in December” which was released in 2024, and some fans in the comments were guessing it might have had to do with that.
But considering he’s putting in the effort to do these teasers and build suspense, I have to imagine that it’s something bigger like a new single or something like that. It feels like it hasn’t been long enough to announce a new album yet, but hey, you never know… that’s always a possibility.
Some fans guessed it was a tour announcement, which is also possible but I personally feel like this has to do with new music:
“‘Flowers in December’ or new song?”
“Dying ’ on the Vine’?”
“Acoustic to the UK.”
“Please tell me this is what I think it is…”
“Acoustic tour for the UK 2027?”
“Are we finally getting an acoustic version of ‘Flowers in December’ with the whole band!”
“You’re giving up singing to be a gardener?”
“Please please please be the UK tour.”
“Omg!! Can’t wait!
“‘Flowers in December’ on the acoustic set list? Please and thank youuuu.”
“The suspense is killing me!”
I have to imagine we’ll know what it is sooner rather than later, and if there is new music coming, I can’t wait… stay tuned.
