Multi-Platinum-selling country star Sam Hunt releases his eagerly-awaited sophomore album SOUTHSIDE, Friday (April 3rd on MCA Nashville). The album will feature his latest #1 radio hit “Kinfolks,” his new single, “Hard to Forget,” the introspective ballad “Sinning With You,” and more from the award-winning artist.
“The majority of the songs on this record I wrote within the last year. There are a few songs on the record that were written prior to 12 months ago that I felt like belonged on this record, they sort of fit the storyline, so I included a few of those songs. These were the 12 songs of the songs that I’ve written since putting out Montavello that seemed to capture the last four years – more specifically the last 12-18 months – but capture the last four years more so than the others I wrote that didn’t make the record.”
SOUTHSIDE is the first full album since Hunt’s critically acclaimed, GRAMMY-nominated, Triple-Platinum-selling debut, Montevallo, which was released nearly six years ago in 2014.
