Smith’s debut album will feature the title track, “Smoky Mountains,” his Gold-certified “Take It Slow,” “I Hate Alabama,” and his current single, “Creek Will Rise.”
Smith posted on Instagram,”I wrote ‘Smoky Mountains’ as the intro to this album. I didn’t expect this song to ever stand alone, but after holding this record, I thought that this song would tell you the story this record will tell. A story of living inside a dream, a story of missing home, and a story of growing up along the way. This album feels like the beginning,”
Smith worked alongside hitmakers like Chase McGill, Thomas Rhett, Mark Trussell, Parker Welling and more to create his 12-track collection set to be released in 2024. The 23-year-old co-wrote everyone on the project except for one.
“It very much took 23 years to make these 12 songs,” Smith says. “I felt like I found my own lane I was able to drive down, and I’m really proud of what it has become. There’s not a wasted second on the record – every song matters. And I think it really shows all the different things that make me ‘me’ – as a songwriter, a vocalist and as a performer,” Smith exclaimed in a press statement.
The singer-songwriter is currently in the midst of his headlining Creek Will Rise Tour with special guests Lauren Watkins and John Morgan. Smith will kick off the second leg of the tour on November 30 in Charlottesville, Virginia.
