Lainey Wilson has announced she will be releasing a new album, Whirlwind, on August 23.
The album is being called "a daringly honest look into the singer's life and journey around the globe" that is an "innovative and grounded extension of Wilson's signature sound" that "bends genres while remaining true to (Wilson's) Western roots."
Whirlwind is an appropriate description for the past year of Wilson's life, which has seen her take home Best Country Album at the Grammys for 2022's Bell Bottom Country, as well as wins at the People's Choice Awards, the CMT Music Awards and the CMA Awards.
"I am so excited to finally announce 'Whirlwind.' This album has been a long time coming and I can't wait for the world to have this body of work in their hands soon," said Wilson in a press statement. "This new chapter of music is the most cathartic and personal piece of art I've ever made. I hope this record brings some peace to your whirlwind and wraps its arms around you like it did for me."

Earlier this week Wilson revealed that she will be opening up her very own bar-restaurant in Nashville called Bell Bottoms Up. The massive 27,000-square-foot venue will double as a live music venue.
Whirlwind. That’s what my life has been the last couple years. I hope this record brings peace to your “whirlwind” and wraps its arms around you like it did me when I was writing and recording it. August 23. Pre-order and pre-save it now! https://t.co/bLBEh5ohi0 pic.twitter.com/hZruzGd9tr
