Jimmie Allen announces the hotly-anticipated details surrounding his debut album, Mercury Lane, available everywhere October 12 via Stoney Creek Records / BBR Music Group. After teasing the track listing and behind-the-scenes photos on his socials earlier this week, the "Best Shot" singer today reveals the artwork, name, meaning and additional details for his first full-length album along with a brand-new song.
As an homage to the origin of his story and how far he's come, the soul-baring album takes its name from the street Allen grew up on and pays tribute to the influence home and family has had on his incredible journey. Fans will instantly receive six songs with a pre-order of Mercury Lane, including "Best Shot," "Underdogs," "21," "Warrior," "Back of Your Mind" and "Make Me Want To," a brand-new track that highlights the singer's hopeless romantic side.
"Mercury Lane is where my journey began. All of the fundamental life lessons that shaped my values and make me who I am today, I was taught on that street-its where I learned about love, family, life, how to believe in myself, the concept of never giving up, following your dreams and being a good person," said Jimmie Allen. "This album touches on all of those ideals and truly feels like I'm sharing a piece of my heart with the world. I've been working toward this moment for so long; I can't wait to share it with everyone."
Mercury Lane comes nearly one year to the day after Allen quietly dropped his self-titled EP which earned him recognition on a slew of "Artist to Watch" titles. Now with his debut single, "Best Shot" rocketing up the charts (currently Top 15), with more than 46 million
streams to date, Jimmie has become one of the most buzzed about Country newcomers and is slated to make his national TV debut on October 9 on NBC's TODAY. Fans have gone rabid for Allen's undeniable talent and incredible story of perseverance and positivity, as depicted in his docu-series "Jimmie Allen All In."
For months Jimmie Allen fans had been teased with the promise of a full-length album; hoping to satiate the craving for new music, the critically-acclaimed rising star had been
sharing one brand-new track each month as a collection of songs he calls the "Slower Lower Sessions." The series, inspired by the 'Slower Lower' region of the state, held fans off temporarily but it is clear that after teasing Mercury Lane details on his Instagram story earlier this week, people are excited for more Jimmie Allen.
Mercury Lane, produced by Ash Bowers and Eric Torres is available for pre-order here.
Hot off of a busy summer on the road, gaining new fans at festivals across the country, Jimmie will hit the road again in support of Scotty McCreery and Kane Brown's tours as well as take his live show to the UK alongside labelmate, Chase Rice.
