New Single ‘Made In A Bottle’ Arriving September 4th

MULTI-PLATINUM, 10x #1 hitmaker Dustin Lynch has announced his seventh studio album, Clean Slate, arriving October 30 via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville.

The 12-track collection is available to pre-add, pre-save and pre-order here.

Taking its name from the album’s introspective title track, Clean Slate finds Lynch looking at where he’s been, what he’s learned and where he wants to go next. Across 12 tracks, love comes into view from every angle: imagining the life you could build, recognising the one worth coming home to, chasing a new spark, revisiting the one that got away and confronting the heartbreak that refuses to disappear at last call. There are nights made for cutting loose and hard-earned lessons that only come with time, all leading back to the possibility of clearing the slate and moving forward.

There’s a lot of life on this record,” shares Lynch. “Falling for somebody, missing somebody, looking back at things you might do differently now, going out and having a damn good time, and figuring out what matters when everything else gets quiet. I’ve lived a lot of life since my first record, and I wanted this album to feel true to where I am today while still sounding like me.”

Lynch co-wrote seven of the album’s 12 tracks, working alongside Nashville songwriters including Zach Crowell, Justin Ebach, Josh Thompson, Jameson Rodgers, Brent Anderson, Hunter Phelps, Ben Johnson, John Byron and more. Production is shared across the collection by Ross Copperman, Zach Crowell and Austin Shawn, with MC4D producing and featuring on album closer ‘Home To You’. Clean Slate also features Ashley Cooke on ‘How You Been’.

Before Clean Slate arrives in full, Lynch leads off with ‘Made In A Bottle’, available September 4. Written by Jesse Frasure, Mark Holman and Geoff Warburton and produced by Ross Copperman, the straight-down-the-middle honky-tonk anthem is built on real instruments, real players and the snap of a full band. Against that high-energy backdrop, Lynch makes the rounds from bar to bar only to learn there isn’t a pour strong enough to outrun the memory of the one he lost.

“We started playing ‘Made In A Bottle’ live this summer and the reaction was immediate,” shares Lynch. “I love the energy of it and the rhythmic pocket in that chorus. You can’t help but move along to it. Production-wise, we wanted it to feel like you’re right there in the middle of our live show. There aren’t a bunch of studio tricks. It’s real instruments and real players, and it’s just a great honky-tonk song. We’ve road-tested it all summer, and it fits our show perfectly.”

The announcement follows Lynch’s Setlist Staples – 10 #1’s, a collection bringing together all 10 of his Country radio chart-toppers and capturing the songs that have become the foundation of his live show. Released August 28, the collection arrived alongside new RIAA certifications for ‘Small Town Boy’ (5X PLATINUM), ‘Thinking ‘Bout You’ (4X PLATINUM), ‘Ridin’ Roads’ (2X PLATINUM) and ‘Chevrolet (feat. Jelly Roll)’ (PLATINUM).

Lynch continues to bring that catalog to the stage with shows slated throughout the fall and into 2027, including a September 30 return to the Grand Ole Opry, followed by a special post-show event at Studio A.
