Kip Moore is ready to release his new album, Slowheart, on Friday (September 8th). You may wonder why he is a Slowheart, however his diehard fans already know since that’s also the official fan club name.

“It’s slowly coming into who I am still as a man. It’s slowly coming around on certain ideals I’ve had of who I am, where I want to go, who I want to be, slowly coming around on the idea of even love and what that means and the vulnerability that exposes and what I hope to be in that aspect, what I hope to be to somebody one day, where I’ve fallen short on that, where I can face that one day cause I know I’ve felt it but I’ve yet to really grasp it and grab a hold of it,” says Kip. “Slowheart is who I [am]. That’s why I got that nickname was somebody said I don’t show my cards and it takes me a while to come around, so I named the band that, the Slowhearts and then the fans the Slowhearts.”

Slowheart features Kip’s latest Top 10 single, “More Girls Like You.”

Kip will launch his Plead the Fifth Tour, featuring Jordan Davis and Drake White in Bowling Green, Ohio October 19th.
