Megan Moroney surprised fans early Thursday morning with the announcement of her 14-track sophomore album, Am I Okay?.
The current six-time ACM Awards nominee shared the news via Instagram and also unveiled the stunning album cover for the project in her post.
“MY SOPHOMORE ALBUM ‘AM I OKAY?’ IS OUT JULY 12TH!!! Wowowow i can’t believe it’s happening again already,” she admitted. “My debut album came out 362 days ago & I’ve spent the past year doing nothing but touring, writing this record & basically living in the studio getting it ready for y’all.”
She went on to say that she is excited for fans to hear what she’s been working on and reminded them that her much-anticipated new track, “Indifferent,” is out on May 3.
“I love these songs SO much & I can’t wait for you to hear them,” she wrote and later added, “OMGGG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SUPPORTING ME & MY MUSIC I COULD CRY.”
In the weeks leading up to the album announcement, Moroney debuted new music with fans, unveiling the tracks “28th Of June” and “No Caller ID” ahead of the July 12 release.
Am I Okay? follows the success of her debut album, LUCKY, which spawned her 2x platinum, No.1 single, “Tennessee Orange.” Also featured on LUCKY are her current country radio single, “I’m Not Pretty,” and the fan-favorite title track.
The new project finds Moroney once again teaming up with her longtime producer Kristian Bush, promising to recreate the magic of her first project and also raise the bar.
Moroney’s album announcement comes on the heels of her buzzed-about debut performance at Stagecoach where she performed on a custom set designed by DanielXDiamond featuring an array of rhinestoned guitars. The meticulous rhinestoning process consumed approximately 168 hours.
Moroney hails as the most-nominated female artist for the 59th Academy of Country Music Awards with six nods, including Female Artist of the Year, New Female Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, and Visual Media of the Year for “Tennesee Orange,” and Music Event of the Year for “Can’t Break Up Now” with Old Dominion.
