If youâve been counting, itâs been four years since Trace Adkins released his last studio album, Love Will. The âYouâre Gonna Miss Thisâ singer is back at it with a brand new album, Somethingâs Going On, due to drop on March 31.
Trace, who has sold over 11 million albums to date, also has something going on with âWatered Down,â the first single off the new record. While you may have to wait until March 13 to hear the single on the radio, you can listen to it here at NashCountryDaily.com and check out the lyric video.
âWhen I first heard âWatered Downâ I felt an immediate connection with what I wanted to say. A man comes to a point in his life where he begins to reflect on his past and what heâs learned and thatâs what fueled this song,â Trace said in a statement. âIf youâve led the kind of life Iâve led, at some point you have to temper your vices.â
The new album, produced by Mickey Jack Cones (Joe Nichols, Dustin Lynch) contains songs written by some of Nashvilleâs finest songwriters, including Shane McAnally, Casey Beathard, Tyler Farr and Craig Campbell.
