NASHVILLE, TN.— (23rd August, 2024) — Whirlwind, the highly anticipated new album from Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum singer, songwriter and musician Lainey Wilson, is out now via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. Listen to it HERE. The official music video for the album’s title track will also debut today at 7:30pm BST on YouTube.

Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Jay Joyce (Miranda Lambert, Eric Church), Whirlwind’s 14 tracks are filled with Wilson’s distinct and engaging songwriting. Current single ‘Hang Tight Honey‘ just celebrated three consecutive weeks at number 1 on the UK Country Radio chart and is nearing the top 10 on the US Country Airplay chart.

“Whirlwind is kind of the Western sister of Bell Bottom Country,” says Wilson. “Since that album, I have gotten to experience so many new things and meet folks from different walks of life. Because of that, I’ve become a better songwriter, and I have more understanding. I feel like I’ve truly stepped into what it is that I’m called to be doing. Ironically, I found my path within all the craziness—and that’s the whirlwind.”

Whirlwind will be celebrated across the UK this weekend with a series of album release parties hosted by Coyote Ugly and Caliendo’s Gelato, as well as several independent venues. Details can be found below and at: https://laineyw.lnk.to/UKListeningPartiesEM

The album adds to an already triumphant career for Wilson, who, in just the past year, was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry, won Best Country Album at the 2024 Grammy Awards, three awards at the 59th annual ACM Awards and five awards at the 57th annual CMA Awards (being named Entertainer of the Year at both the ACMs and CMAs). Most recently, Wilson received two awards at the ACM Honors earlier this week: the prestigious Triple Crown Award—presented to those who have won ACM Entertainer of the Year, Female/Male Vocalist of the Year and New Female/Male Vocalist of the Year—and the Milestone Award, which is given to an artist who has had an unprecedented or outstanding year in country music.

Originally from Baskin, Louisiana and now based in Nashville, Wilson is poised for global stardom. Since her 2016 debut, Wilson has toured extensively across the world and released her last studio album in 2022, the Grammy and CMA Award-winning Bell Bottom CountryVariety raved, “one of the more irresistible collections to come out of the genre in some time. Everything about her is a breath of fresh air,” while The Wall Street Journal proclaimed, “Lainey Wilson’s rock-tinged country songs are taking Nashville—and beyond—by storm.” Also a sought-after and prolific songwriter, Wilson has earned seven #1 singles at country radio and written songs for artists such as Post Malone and Dolly Parton, Luke Combs, Ashley McBryde and more. She made her acting debut in season five of Paramount’s the hit show Yellowstone.
