Jelly Roll announced he will release his new studio album, Whitsitt Chapel, on June 2. The 13-song project takes its moniker from Jelly Roll’s hometown church in Antioch, Tennessee (about 10 miles southeast of Nashville).
The upcoming album, which depicts Whitsitt Chapel Baptist Church on the cover, includes Jelly Roll’s recently released single, “Need a Favor.” The full track list will be announced in the coming weeks.
“This album is about growth and gratitude happening in my life. I wanted to create a project that felt hopeful,” says Jelly Roll. “I believe the worst feeling a person can have is feeling hopeless or worthless. This is therapeutic music. Real music for real people with real problems.”

The announcement of the new album comes on the heels of a breakout year for the 38-year-old. Jelly Roll packed Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena with 16,000 fans in December. And he topped the Billboard Country Airplay chart in January with “Son of a Sinner.” He will hit the road for a massive tour this summer.
