Anne Wilson proudly unveils her new 16-song album REBEL, available everywhere today. A co-writer on each of the 16 tracks, Wilson boldly stamps her love of Jesus, Country music and family into one cohesive record.

The Kentucky native commemorated the groundbreaking release this morning with a performance of her loud-and-proud title track “REBEL” on The 3rd Hour of TODAY, where she also announced her headlining REBEL Tour with special guest Jordan Rowe, kicking off on September 12th. Tickets for the 28-stop tour will be available for presale at 10am local on Tuesday, April 23rd, and general on-sale will begin on Friday, April 26th at 10am local on www.annewilsonofficial.com.

“I have worked so hard on this record. I poured my heart and soul into every single song,” she says. “I’m so thankful for my co-writers diving deep with me on this project and partnering with me to create these songs. This writing process was the most freeing experience I’ve ever had. I enjoyed every moment so much and will never forget that season of my life. When I think about this new album and this set of songs, all I see is the faithfulness of God. He called this little 15 year old girl from Kentucky out of the tragic loss of her brother and has brought me on the most incredible journey. I would be nowhere without Jesus. My hope is that you all absolutely love these songs and that you feel Jesus in all of them. I pray this record impacts your life for the glory and honor of Jesus. That it brings you JOY and peace. That it inspires you to be a REBEL.”

Charging onto the scene three years ago with her debut single “My Jesus,” Wilson made the powerful declaration to cling firmly to her faith after finding God’s healing following the tragic loss of her brother. Now, as she remains steadfast and unwavering in her commitment to her faith-filled message, Wilson delivers an album in REBEL that “hits the bullseye between contemporary Christian and Country twang” (GRAMMY) in an ode to Wilson’s Lexington, Ky. roots that honors two genres who share a deep rooted history.

REBEL acts as a page turning autobiography into who Wilson is at her core, “a genre-blender in the truest, most artistically satisfying meaning of the word” (Holler). People.com further praises it “as entertaining as it is nourishing,” filled with “lively, often sassy melodies delivered by one of contemporary music’s freshest new voices, regardless of genre.” Wilson combines much-needed encouragement, vulnerability and transparency into a perfect balance that footholds the space between the dead-end road paved in dirt and the church pew of redemption on Sunday morning. Produced by Jeff Pardo and Jonathan Smith, REBEL emerges as a powerful message of faith.

Highlighted on today’s record is “the upbeat banger” (GRAMMY) “Songs About Whiskey,” released with an all-new music video. Wilson unashamedly walks the line of her strong faith and Country roots, resulting in a lyrical redemption that swerves typical vices of whiskey, nicotine and one-night stands to place exclamation on her heavenly fix. Wilson also joined forces with some of Christian and Country music’s biggest names on REBEL, tapping reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year Lainey Wilson for “Praying Woman,” GRAMMY-Award winner Chris Tomlin for “The Cross” and the previously released “breezy ode to the riches found in the simplicity” (Billboard) with Jordan Davis titled “Country Gold.”

Last month, Wilson landed her first CMT Music Award nomination for Breakthrough Female Video of the Year for her Country radio single “Rain In The Rearview.” Meanwhile, her Christian radio single “Strong” has climbed to No. 2 across multiple Christian radio charts. Despite only being three years into her burgeoning career, Wilson has already amassed an impressive list of accolades, including winning a Billboard Music Award, multiple DOVE and K-LOVE Fan Awards, in addition to being a GRAMMY and American Music Award nominee. Recognized as Apple Music’s Country Riser for April, an artist to watch by Spotify, Pandora, the Grand Ole Opry, CMT and more, and over 900M career streams, Wilson’s trajectory knows no bounds.

Wilson’s new album will take her back to her roots as she prepares for her sold-out hometown album release show this Sunday (April 21st) at the Lexington Opera House (available to stream here) followed by a performance on Tuesday (April 23rd) at the Grand Ole Opry. The album events continue as she hosts an in-store signing event on Wednesday (April 24th) at the Walmart in Cool Springs-Franklin, Tennessee.

With her first Country tour as direct support on Scotty McCreery’s Cab In A Solo Tour under her belt, she will grace the stages of both Country and Christian music’s most sought-after festivals this summer before taking her new album on the road for the REBEL Tour.

We have compiled an array of content — a variety of liners and soundbites – from ANNE WILSON to equip you with everything you might need to put together your own radio special; roll-out tracks leading up to –and following — the release of her new REBEL album to use in news feeds, specials and much more. Check out all of details below (including audio liners and soundbites, as well as transcriptions) to create your own content surrounding Anne’s new release.

One of Nashville’s most inspiring young trailblazers, Anne Wilson is a true “rebel” in modern music. The Lexington, Kentucky native, known for her transcendent vocal and down-to-earth storytelling, is set to release her new album, REBEL, a collection of songs fusing the heart of Contemporary Christian Music with the sound of Country, and allowing the emerging powerhouse to innovate as her career builds momentum.

Co-produced by Jeff Pardo and Jonathan Smith, the project kicks off with two singles bridging Wilson’s sonic influences. The hurricane force encouragement of “Rain In The Rearview” stands as Wilson’s debut Country single, while the soaring ballad “Strong” will simultaneously aim to continue the success she has earned in Contemporary Christian.

Anne Wilson is set to release her new album, REBEL, on Friday (April 19th). She co-wrote all 16 tracks on the album, including her current country radio single, “Rain In The Rearview,” and the title track. Anne describes herself as a REBEL because she doesn’t fit in any singular box, and she embraces the differences that make her unique. She also considers herself a REBEL because she’s not afraid to sing (or talk) about her faith.

“For me, I think it started when I sent a song to Christian radio that was very like faith-based, but it got a lot of push back because it sounded too country, and so it kind of lit a fire in me to go, ‘Well, I’m not going to fit in anymore. I wanna be who I am authentically,’ and I want that to be my message,” says Anne. “So, that’s where it really came in, but on the other end, just being a person of faith in the world that we live in today, it feels like you’re an outsider if you have faith, especially for my generation. You know, my generation struggles a lot with feeling like we have permission to talk about our faith. We can come out and say it without being judged, you know? So, I think for me, I’m gonna be a REBEL. I’m gonna stand up for what I believe in. I’m gonna love my country. I’m gonna love God. I’m gonna stand up for the things that I believe in. I’m not gonna follow the world or the ways of the world, but I’m gonna follow Jesus and my faith, and that’s what makes me a REBEL.”

She’s set to perform the album’s title track, “REBEL,” live from the heart of Times Square during the 3rd Hour of NBC’S TODAY Show.

Earlier this month, the 2024 CMT Next Women of Country celebrated her first CMT Music Award nomination for Breakthrough Female Video of the Year for her Country radio single “Rain In The Rearview,” while her Christian radio single “Strong” holds steady at No. 2 across multiple Christian radio charts.

As she’s given listeners a taste of REBEL with previously released singles such as “God & Country” and “Country Gold” (with Jordan Davis), fans and industry alike are eagerly anticipating the full record’s release this Friday. Holler notes it’s set to become a “​​cherished addition to the libraries of fans of both genres,” while Woman’s World stamps that it “combines her faithful heart and Country soul.” Meanwhile, The Tennessean recognizes “she’s both an outlier and so specifically gifted at a myriad of styles.”

After performing her new music on TODAY, Wilson will head to her hometown of Lexington, Kentucky on Sunday (April 21st) for a sold-out album release show at the Lexington Opera House, followed by a performance from the Opry NextStage Class of 2024 artist on Tuesday (April 23rd) at the Grand Ole Opry.

Easter is this Sunday (March 31st), and we’ve got liners from some of your favorite country “peeps.”

PLATINUM-certified, GRAMMY-nominated artist and songwriter Anne Wilson gives fans another look at her forthcoming album, REBEL, with the highly-anticipated duet “Country Gold” (with Jordan Davis) today, March 22nd.

Arriving in full on Friday, April 19th, REBEL is a genre-defying collection capturing Wilson’s signature faith-infused Country sound. Wilson also celebrates her first-time CMT Award nomination for Breakthrough Female Video of the Year for “Rain In The Rearview” which first premiered on the CMT/Paramount Time Square billboard in January.

Wilson’s new collaboration with Davis comes just months after first sharing the stage with him at the 2023 ACM Honors for a live performance of “Buy Dirt.” Serving as the first of three duets on the album, “Country Gold” written by Wilson, Jeff Pardo and Matthew West, pulls inspiration from the biblical meaning of “gold” equating a symbol of spiritual wealth. Wilson and Davis expertly blend their unique, warm vocals as they weave heartfelt narratives from their family histories, emphasizing the joy found in life’s simple moments.

“I am so excited about my new song ‘Country Gold’ with Jordan Davis,” shares Wilson. “I’m a huge fan of Jordan’s music, and I’m honored to have him join me. This song is all about roots and remembering where the good stuff in life really is. I love the line that says, ‘the richest people that I’ve ever known struck country gold,’ and I hope you do too. I can’t wait for everyone to hear it!”

Set to become “a ​​cherished addition to the libraries of fans of both genres,” (Holler) REBEL will see Wilson joining forces with even more industry heavyweights. Still to come with the full album on April 19 is a duet with reigning 2023 CMA Entertainer of the year, Lainey Wilson, for “Praying Woman” and GRAMMY Award-winner Chris Tomlin for “The Cross.” A co-writer on each of the album’s 16 tracks, Wilson teamed up with some of Music Row’s most in-demand songwriters such as Nicolle Galyon, Emily Weisband, Matthew West and Trannie Anderson for a revolutionary project firmly rooted in both Country and Christian music, produced by Jeff Pardo and Jonathan Smith.

Earlier this month, Wilson captivated viewers nationwide with her morning television debut on Fox & Friends’ series ‘Faith & Friends Weekend.’ Performing live in the heart of the Big Apple, Wilson delivered her uplifting single “Strong” that is No.3 and climbing at Christian radio. She also celebrated International Women’s Day by stopping by The Bobby Bones Show to perform “Rain In The Rearview” and “Strong,” and chat with Bobby about what you can expect from her upcoming record.

WATCH: “STRONG” ON ‘FAITH & FRIENDS’

The Opry NextStage Class of 2024 member released “God & Country” in Feb., giving fans a sneak peek into the multifaceted artistry on REBEL. As her commanding vocals lead the track that MusicRow dubs a “spectacular show-stopper,” Wilson revisits her Kentucky roots growing up in the heart of the heartland. As the anticipation for REBEL builds, Wilson’s current single “Rain In The Rearview” continues to turn heads at Country radio.

Named as part of Spotify’s 2024 Hot Country Artists to Watch, Wilson just wrapped her first Country tour as direct support on Scotty McCreery’s Cab In A Solo Tour. This summer, she will grace the stages of both Country and Christian music’s most sought-after festivals including Tortuga Festival, Big As Texas Fest, Country Concert, Alive Music Festival and Kingdom Bound.

Anne Wilson made waves with her captivating morning television debut on Fox & Friends’ series ‘Faith & Friends Weekend’ yesterday, March 3. Performing live in the heart of the Big Apple, Wilson enchanted audiences across the country with her Top 5 Christian radio single “Strong,” a preview from her highly anticipated album REBEL, arriving April 19. The remarkable appearance propelled “Strong” up the iTunes charts, peaking at No. 1 on the Christian chart and at No. 11 all genre. Notably, her forthcoming album REBEL also notched the No.1 spot on the Amazon Best Sellers album chart.

Already off to a momentous start in 2024, Wilson recently graced Vevo DSCVR’s live series with two new performances. Set in Vevo’s NYC studio, she delivered soulful renditions of the album’s title track “REBEL” and her Country radio single “Rain In The Rearview” that showcases her “ceiling-scraping vocal capabilities” (Billboard). Watch the Vevo DSCVR series here.

Last week, the Opry NextStage Class of 2024 member revealed the star-studded features on her upcoming album live from the Grand Ole Opry stage. The album features collaborations with some of music’s biggest names, including Lainey Wilson, Jordan Davis and Chris Tomlin, promising a bold, genre-blending collection that will “no doubt intensify the already sky-high sense of anticipation ahead of the record” (Holler). A co-writer on each of the album’s 16 songs, Wilson teamed up with some of Music Row’s most in-demand songwriters such as Nicolle Galyon, Emily Weisband, Matthew West and Trannie Anderson for a revolutionary project firmly rooted in both Country and Christian music, produced by Jeff Pardo and Jonathan Smith.

Wilson continues to showcase her multifaceted artistry and the faith-infused Country essence with her Feb. 2 release “God & Country.” As her commanding vocals lead the track that MusicRow dubs a “spectacular show-stopper,” Wilson revisits her Kentucky roots that capture growing up in the heart of the heartland. As the anticipation for her record on April 19 builds, Wilson’s current single “Rain In The Rearview” continues to make waves on Country radio and the new music video premiered on CMT/Paramount’s Time Square billboard, CMT, CMT Music and CMT.com.

Recognized as a 2024 CMT Next Women of Country and a Spotify Hot Country Artist to Watch in 2024, Wilson shares her new music on the road as part of Scotty McCreery’s Cab In A Solo Tour this spring and at major Christian and Country music festivals this summer.
