Morgan Wallen Reveals He’s Already Sitting on Handfuls of Songs for His ‘Next Project’

Morgan Wallen joined Country Countdown USA recently and shared that a new album may be closer than we think.

“I’ve already got 12 songs finished,” he told Lon Helton on the show. “I’m confident in what I do next already. Overall, I feel pretty comfortable. I don’t feel rushed. I’ve got other things, I’ve got the tour, I’ve got my son, so I’m glad that I’ve already spent some time on the next project.”

Last year, Wallen shared a clip of one new track to his Instagram. He co-wrote the track with Miranda Lambert and Nicolle Galyon. It’s called “Thought You Should Know.”

He also reflected on the experience of working with Lambert.

“I had a song I was working on, and I knew it was going to be for my mom,” he said. “I wanted to get a female perspective. [Lambert] helped me tremendously. Miranda always says something cool. I’ve always been a fan of hers. She was just what I thought she’d be, except cooler!”

Dangerous: The Double Album is still dominating the country charts. The album just produced his sixth number one on the Billboard Country Airplay chart, “Wasted on You.” Wallen and his friend Hardy recently stopped by The Listening Room in Nashville to perform an acoustic rendition of another one of those number ones, “Sand in My Boots.”

Lambert will receive the “Triple Crown Award” for earning “Top New Female Vocalist,” “Female Vocalist of the Year” and “Entertainer of the Year” throughout her career.
