Kenny Chesney announced via a press release on July 6 that his new album, Some Town Somewhere, which was initially slated to drop on July 8, is being pushed back to an October 28 release date.
Kenny also revealed that Grammy-winning singer P!nk will be featured on a duet on the new albumās āSetting the World on Fire.ā The two stars became chummy while Kenny was in California.
āP!nkās voice holds so many feelings all at the same time: joy, desire, a bit of toughness, a little hurt,ā says Kenny. āSheās an incredible singerāand has this great tone that shines but has a little wear to it, but doesnāt sound beat up. So I called her . . . The thing about P!nk, beyond what a great singer she is, is what a generous spirit she has. To me, great singers are the ones who can get inside a song and capture the spark. When you hear P!nk on this song, you believe herāand to me, thatās everything the song required to come to life.ā
Kenny released the upcoming albumās first single, āNoise,ā in March. The lead single is currently at No. 6 on Billboardās Country Airplay chart.
āSure, it would be easier to just leave everything on schedule,ā says Kenny in closing. āBut when you have something you know is great, and it captures the best part of being alive, why wouldnāt you slow down enough to make it happen in the moment? Thatās what āSetting the World on Fireā is all aboutāand I figure it may be a while before I make another record, and I donāt want to wait to share this because itās so good.ā
