Inspired by his return to the road after foregoing live fan-filled arenas across the globe for his living room in Nashville like so many Where We Startedmarks a similar return toThomas Rhettsin-the-moment mix of tempo, transcendent romance, and tip-of-the-spear sonic trailblazing. On the album, countrys resident good-life philosopher shakes away a year-plus of off-stage dust.

Featuring 15 songs, all but one co-written by Rhett, the project highlights his signature infusion of country tradition with kinetic romantic energy. Mixing raw, unfiltered joy with his uniquely personal, small-town Shakespeare writing with producerDann Huffreturning alongside co-producers Jesse Frasure and Matt Dragstrem the project enlists superstar Katy Perry for the dramatic root-pop title track, while also tapping collaborations with Riley Green, Tyler Hubbard, and Russell Dickerson.

For me, getting into the entertainer headspace and back onstage was euphoria, Rhett explains. When you go a year and a half without it, then feel it for the first time again, its the coolest thing in the world. Thats really where my brain has been and where these songs came from theyre some of my favorite songs that Ive ever been a part of. Im just enjoying life so much right now, getting to be a dad, collaborating with incredible artists, playing shows with my friends, and watching people smile from the stage. It has really filled my soul.Gatefold colored vinyl 2LP.
