Kenny Chesney has announced the 11 songs and an album cover for his next project, Cosmic Hallelujah. The project will be released by Blue Chair Records/Columbia Nashville on Oct. 28.
Chesney delayed the original release date after finding “Setting the World on Fire” and recording it as a duet with Pink. He also dropped the album’s original title, Some Town Somewhere. Cosmic Hallelujah is Chesney’s first new album since 2014’s The Big Revival.
“I’ve been blessed with some of the best songs out there, some songs written, actually, just for this album by writers whose work I’ve loved for years,” he said. “When ‘Setting The World On Fire’ came together, it opened a window of time – and some songs that had come in after we were done, I didn’t have to save for the next album. Suddenly, everything was changing, and the album I’m releasing now has a lot of what made Some Town Somewhere capture the essential part of who the No Shoes Nation is, but really takes the your-life-is-now piece of The Big Revival and expands it.”
