Ashley McBryde Readies Sophomore Album, ‘Never Will’

Ashley McBryde, the reigning ACM New Female Artist of the Year, CMA New Artist of the Year and CMT Breakout Artist of the Year, just announced details surrounding her much-anticipated sophomore album.

Arriving April 3, Never Will features 11 tracks, including the lead single, “One Night Standards.” Produced by Jay Joyce, the album follows the rising star’s Grammy-nominated Girl Going Nowhere album.

“The significance behind the album title comes from the lyrics in the title track: ‘I Didn’t, I Don’t and I Never Will,’” McBryde shared. “Before we recorded it with Jay [Joyce] in the studio, I said to my bandmates, ‘If we’re going to cut this and put it on the record, you’re promising anyone who ever listens to our music, we don’t listen to the noise in the background. We didn’t, we don’t and we never will. Don’t cut it unless you’re willing to promise it.’ And we cut it right then.”

McBryde will take “One Night Standards” to national television tonight with her debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Later this month, she’ll kick off her headlining One Night Standards Tour, which runs through April 23.
