After a whirlwind few years of chart-topping success, powerhouse country-pop/rock artist Hayley Jensen is back bolder than ever with a highly anticipated new album, ‘Country Soul’, set for release Friday 29 August 2025, followed by a massive National Tour presented by Wheelhouse Agency.
Two-time finalist for ‘Female Artist of the Year’ at the Golden Guitar Awards (2022 & 2023), Jensen continues her ascent as one of Australia’s most exciting and dynamic country artists. Following the ARIA #1 success of her previous album ‘Breakin’ Hearts’, she’s racked up multiple accolades including Most Popular Female Artist at the 2024 Independent Country Music Awards and wins for Best Song and Best Video in 2025.
Produced in large by award-winning duo MSquared (behind the hits of Casey Barnes, James Johnston, Kaylee Bell & Taylor Moss), ‘Country Soul’ is a powerful and empowering, energetic collection of 13 Tracks showcasing Jensen’s signature grit, sass, and soaring vocals. It includes recent chart-topping singles ‘Giddy Up Cowboy’, ‘Dirt Rich’, ‘Outskirts’, ‘Stomping Ground’ which have earned placements on key Spotify playlists including ‘Fresh Country’ and ‘All New Country’, as well as ‘Bring It On’ & ‘Rock Bottom’, produced by Troy Kokol (‘Breakin’ Hearts’). Already amassing over 1.7 million streams.
Ahead of the album, Hayley is dropping the title track ‘Country Soul’ to DSPs on 8 August, and to country radio on 11 August, to give fans a taste of what’s to come on the album – ‘Country Soul’ is an energetic, boot-tapping anthem about the country way of life, knowing where you come from, staying true to who you are.
“Growing up in the country shaped every part of who I am-my values, my beliefs, and the heart of the person I’ve become. I’ve got a country soul, and that’s something that never leaves you, no matter where life takes you. When the world gets loud or overwhelming, I know I can always head back home to the country and reconnect with who I truly am.” – Hayley Jensen
Hayley has been hands-on with every aspect of the album, which will be released on her own record label, White Dove Music, and distributed by long term partners, MGM. From co-writing the songs to personally designing the artwork and limited-edition vinyl.
On the airwaves, Jensen has been embraced across major radio country networks in Australia and North America. ‘Giddy Up Cowboy’ has enjoyed a number of weeks in the Countrytown Hot 50 & ‘Outskirts’ soared to the #3 spot, and, along with ‘Stomping Ground’, was added on high rotation to SiriusXM Top of the Country across the U.S. and Canada.
Renowned for her electric live performances, Jensen will be launching ‘Country Soul’ at the Gympie Music Muster on Saturday 30 August, followed by a massive National Tour of NSW, QLD, VIC, ACT & WA with tickets on sale now.
