Less than a year after releasing his latest award-winning album, Luke Combs announced that he’s getting ready to drop a massive 18-track collection in 2023.
Combs revealed on his social media channels on Wednesday evening (January 4) that his new album is set to release on March 24. He didn’t share the name of the soon-to-release project as of publication time, but added in a comment on his social media posts on Thursday morning (January 5) that the album will include “18 new, unreleased songs for those wondering.”
The reigning iHeartRadio Music Awards Country Artist of the Year has seemingly been stirring anticipation for the 18-track album on his social media channels, including by sharing audio recordings and acoustic renditions of some unreleased songs. He confirmed on TikTok on December 30, 2022 that he’s “working on a new album… what song(s) do y’all wanna hear?”
Some fans have dropped eager comments for “Five Leaf Clover,” a widely-requested unreleased track that his wife, Nicole, also named in a comment on her superstar husband’s Instagram post (“SO FIVE LEAF CLOVER OR WHAT”). Others were hopeful for “Tattoo On A Sunburn” and “Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old,” both of which Combs recently teased. One Twitter user wrote, “Please have a song about becoming a dad,” on the new album.
Combs and Nicole welcomed their firstborn child in June, days before Combs released his 12-track project, Growin’ Up. Combs said at the time that it was “a hell of a week,” welcoming his son, Tex Lawrence Combs, and releasing his album, which was “such a long time in the making.” He promised at that time that there’s “a lot more music coming soon.”
The new album is set to release just in time for Combs to kick off his massive world tour, spanning three continents with stops in 16 countries. The 35-concert tour will include special guests Riley Green, Lainey Wilson, Flatland Cavalry, Brent Cobb, Cody Johnson and Lane Pittman on select dates.
