Lauren Alaina fans will be happy to know that their new year will be celebrated with new music from the country singer herself, with the announcement of a new album, Road Less Traveled, set to release in January of 2017.

Marking a take-off from her last release, Wildflower, back in 2011, Alaina is setting her sights high with the mature progression of her sound and emotional development of her writing skills on this new upcoming project. Including her current uplifting single, “Road Less Traveled,” the album will show all sides of Alaina’s life and dig deep into her biggest life moments over the past few years of her career.

“I am so excited to get this album out,” said Alaina in a press release.  “I wrote for it for three and a half years. I’ve grown so much as a person, a songwriter and an artist in that time. These songs are a true representation of who I am, where I’ve been and where I’m going. This album has pushed me to accept who I am and be 100% honest about it. Road Less Traveled is truly ME. I can’t wait to share my stories, my music and myself with the world.”

The country sweetheart devoted herself to the record, co-writing on all 12 tracks featured on the record. Alaina strived to find the balance of truth and vulnerability on the project, and can’t wait to share the journey with fans come next year.

Road Less Traveled is set to release on January 27, 2017, and Alaina will follow up with the album by joining Martina McBride on her Love Unleashed Tour in February and March of next year. Fans can find more information about dates and tickets on either Alaina’s or McBride’s websites.
