Lainey Wilson has revealed her new album Whirlwind, the highly anticipated follow-up to 2022’s Bell Bottom Country, will drop on Aug. 23.  Wilson shared on social media: “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, pre-save, or pre-add it now!”

Lainey also shared in a statement: “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 …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.”

Per a press release, Whirlwind (produced by Jay Joyce) is “a daringly honest look into the country star’s life and journey around the globe.Whirlwind is an innovative and grounded extension of Wilson’s signature sound. Bridging together a diverse yet sonically cohesive collection of songs, the record bends genres while remaining true to the singer’s Western roots.”
