For an artist, the title of an album takes a lot of thought and encompasses the full collection of songs. For Tyler Hubbard, he thought about different song titles that would make sense, but it wasn’t until he saw a documentary on Shania Twain that he came up with the perfect title for his debut solo album — Tyler Hubbard.
“So for my debut solo album, I went around and around trying to figure out what to call it,” recalls Tyler. “I thought ‘Small Town Me.’ I thought about ‘Me For Me.” I thought about a lot of the song titles, and then it hit me. I was watching a Netflix documentary about Shania Twain, and her debut album was self-titled and I thought, ‘You know what? What better way to connect the name with the face with the story and with the songs then a self-titled album.’ So, I decided you know what? That’s what I’m gonna do – debut solo album, we’re gonna call it Tyler Hubbard, and it’s gonna be my story to connect with the fans on a personal, individual level.”
Tyler heads to New York this week and next to promote his new album. The Georgia native makes his solo late-night television debut on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Monday performing his current hit single, “Dancin’ In The Country.”
On Tuesday, he’ll make an appearance on “Good Morning America,” also performing his current single, “Dancin’ In The Country.”
Tyler’s self-titled album is available Friday (January 27th).
