Kenny Chesney is giving fans another look at what’s ahead with his highly anticipated 21st studio album, Silver Sands Marina, by officially revealing the project’s full track list, including the star-studded collaborations.

Set to arrive on September 25, the 11-song collection represents a new chapter for the country superstar. He says the album came together naturally as certain songs began to raise their hands and signaling that they belonged together. As more stories fell into place, the vision for the project became clearer and clearer.

“It’s funny how records show you who they are,” Chesney shared. “And Silver Sands Marina came together in a whole other way when we found the title track, and a couple others. When we went in and cut those last three tracks, I realized: it’s like a rock in your shoe, it’ll bother you until it’s right when you’re dealing in songs. But when it’s right, you know.”

Following the release of his current Top 10 country radio single, “Carry On” and the reflective title track, Chesney is readying fans for a project centered around honesty and embracing life’s highs and lows.

“Some of these songs are unlike anything people have heard, or haven’t heard in a long time,” he admits “Some of them go deep, some of them will make people turn it up, a few will make them laugh… But, together, I think they’ll remind them how great it is to be alive. Even on days where you need a song like ‘Carry On,’ we’re making the best of what we’ve got.”

Throughout his career, Chesney has seen firsthand how powerful music can be. As a result, he shared his belief that sometimes the best solution to any problem is simply to turn up the volume and sing along.

“Happy, mad, sad, it doesn’t really matter: music makes most things better. Even if it can’t solve your problem, it’ll make your heart a little lighter – and when it is feeling good, it’ll just take it to another level.”

Today’s announcement unveils the titles of the remaining unreleased tracks set to be featured on the album, including three collaborations: “Goldfish” featuring Lily Meola, “It Just Got Weird” featuring Megan Moroney and “What We Got Going On” featuring Colbie Caillat.

This will mark Chesney’s second time recording a song with Moroney following 2025 hit, “You Had to Be There.”
