Laine Hardy is gearing up to release his long-awaited debut album. 

The American Idol winner shared the news via the official American Idol Instagram late last week, revealing that his debut project, Here’s To Anyone, is set to release on September 17. 

The Michael Knox-produced project features 11 tracks, including two co-written by the Louisiana native himself. 

Among the track list is Hardy’s latest single, “Memorize You,” as well as previous releases such as “Tiny Town,” “The Other LA,” and “Let There Be Country.” The album also includes songs written by heavy-hitters like Laura Veltz, David Lee Murphy, Jessi Alexander, Josh Thompson and more. 

“I’m a down-home guy, from Southeast Louisiana,” Laine says. “ I just want to show all my fans that I’m not going to stray away from who I am, and where I come from. I feel like we really did that with the album and I’m very proud of it.”
