Tim McGraw Has Been Working on His New Album Since Last Year
Tim McGraw has been working hard on his latest album for quite a while. During an April 2022 interview with USA Today, McGraw spoke about what he was working on after his time on the 1883 setas well as adjusting to touring life.
“After having that script in my head and now I’m working on a new album as well, the toughest thing is probably going to be remembering the words when we get on stage,” McGraw explained. “But I feel like it will come back quickly.”
McGraw also reassured fans that he was in the middle of recording his latest project during his appearance on Country Countdown USA with Lon Helton. “I’m in the middle of it. I’ve probably mixed eight [songs] so far, and will record a few more soon.”
The country singer then stated his fans won’t need to wait too long for him to release some new music. “I’m always looking to beat what I did last time. I’m sure we’ll have something off the new album here before too long.”
However, McGraw didn’t reveal exactly when the album will make its debut. “I don’t know when the album will drop,” he admitted. Meanwhile, McGraw’s next music event will be at the NCAA Final Four Fan Fest with Keith Urban, Little Big Town, and Mickey Guyton.
