‘Around You’ follows the release of ‘Bad Spot‘, a dreamy, piano-led confession that reveals a weathered soul finally growing up. Rolling Stone called it “intensely personal” and Billboard lauded his “rugged, heart-on-his-sleeve vocal,” while Music Row stated “As usual, his delivery is urgent and believable” and American Songwriter raved “Moore officially revealed his next career chapter – and it’s a rich one.”

His sixth studio album, Solitary Tracks is a resonant opus from beginning to end, and a testament to Moore’s wanderlust drive to pave his own path and explore new horizons. He has already teased several new songs providing an early glimpse at the album, including the “blistering” (Billboard) ‘Live Here to Work‘, the “gritty, rough, and rowdy” (Whiskey Riff) ‘Learning As I Go‘ as well as the “heartfelt anthem” (All Country News) ‘Flowers in December‘ and the slow-burning track ‘Wildfire‘.

There are many paths to follow in an artistic career, but for Kip Moore, the choice has always been a clear “forward,” even if he has to go it alone. With Solitary Tracks, his internal compass is stronger than ever. Harbouring an established reputation as a soulful troubadour with solid country roots and a global platform, Kip has emerged as one of only a few country artists who’s international footprint is just as deep as his stateside base, built by years of slow, painstaking effort and tireless touring, with fans latching on to a creative force of nature who’ll never sell his soul. And now, Solitary Tracks takes them deeper into the creative wild.

Embracing his lifelong drive to break new ground, Solitary Tracks is like nothing Moore has ever done. It’s an album of intensity on all levels – vocally, lyrically, and sonically – as Moore focuses his incisive pen inward. Co-produced by Moore with Jaren Johnston and additional production by Oscar Charles and Jay Joyce, its first half marks a deep-feeling acknowledgement of his solitary place, while its second part is the start of a new phase. Taken together, they wrap a defiant sense of personal growth in a raw, roots-and-soul package. Freed up by a new, globally minded label partner in Virgin Music Group, Kip is once again in a position to trust his gut.
