The 29-year-old Oklahoma native shared his new song with a performance video on Instagram with the following caption:
“Broken Bow, Oklahoma just might be my favorite place in the world. It’s where my family has been for generations, running lumber mills & cattle. It’s where I learned to hunt & fish. It’s where I fell in love with the outdoors. To me, Southeast Oklahoma is more than a place. It’s a home cooked meal. It’s a hug when you walk through the front door. It’s heritage. It’s a nudge to slow down. To remove the distractions. When I make my way home to those Southeast Oklahoma Pines, it’s a reminder that even at its worst, life ain’t all that bad.”
Kent sings, “Hometown boys won in overtime/ain’t nothin’ in the world gonna bring me down / maybe someday I’ll care, but I ain’t quite got there.” While expressing his thoughts on the comfort of returning home, the singer-songwriter puts a thoughtful country touch on the tune.
Along with the new song comes the announcement of his next project, 23, which will be released to the world on Friday, December 28. You can pre-save it by clicking here.
“For the last two years, I’ve dropped something for you guys between Christmas and New Year as a way to say thanks for the continued support. Excited to continue that tradition. On 12/28 I’ll be dropping a 9 track project called ’23,” Kent posted on Instagram. “No producer. No band. Just a man, his guitar, and wooden chair in a studio down the road from his home in TX.”
23 will follow Kent’s debut album, Blacktop, featuring his certified platinum single, “Wild As Her,” and current single, “Something’s Gonna Kill Me,” currently on country radio.
