Multi-platinum singer/songwriter Kip Moore released today his anticipated sixth studio album “Solitary Tracks”, available everywhere through Virgin Music Group. His biggest and most ambitious record to date, “Solitary Tracks” features 23 songs split over four sides, a resonant opus from beginning to end, and a testament to Moore’s wanderlust drive to pave his own path and explore new horizons.
Moore also shared the official video for the album’s title track “Solitary Tracks.” A stirring vignette that follows an aspiring singer as she discovers her voice and emerges into the spotlight, “Solitary Tracks” embodies the song’s exploration of a born-outsider’s drive that rises into a cathartic roots-rock anthem.
Additional highlights from “Solitary Tracks” include the “swaggering” (Billboard) “Bad Spot,” The Clash and The Ramones inspired “Around You,” the “powerful guitar-driven anthem” (Country Now) “Live Here to Work,” the “gritty, rough, and rowdy” (Whiskey Riff) “Learning As I Go,” as well as the “heartfelt anthem” (All Country News) “Flowers in December” and the slow-burning track “Wildfire.”
There are many paths to follow in an artistic career, but for Kip Moore, the choice has always been a clear “forward,” even if he has to go it alone. With “Solitary Tracks”, his internal compass is stronger than ever. Harboring an established reputation as a soulful troubadour with solid country roots and a global platform, Kip has emerged as one of only a few country artists who’s international footprint is just as deep as his stateside base, built by years of slow, painstaking effort and tireless touring, with fans latching on to a creative force of nature who’ll never sell his soul. And now, “Solitary Tracks” takes them deeper into the creative wild.
Embracing his lifelong drive to break new ground, “Solitary Tracks” is like nothing Moore has ever done. It’s an album of intensity on all levels – vocally, lyrically, and sonically – as Moore focuses his incisive pen inward. Co-produced by Moore with Jaren Johnston and additional production by Oscar Charles and Jay Joyce, its first half marks a deep-feeling acknowledgement of his solitary place, while its second part is the start of a new phase. Taken together, they wrap a defiant sense of personal growth in a raw, roots-and-soul package. Freed up by a new, globally minded label partner in Virgin Music Group, Kip is once again in a position to trust his gut.
This spring, Moore will kick off his Solitary Tracks World Tour, which will take him across Canada, Europe, and the UK. It’ll be followed by a run of US tour dates over the summer with Billy Currington.
“Intensely personal”
- Rolling Stone
“Restless and rowdy, and at times just pure rock ‘n’ roll fun, the set is a direct result of a few
transformative years…Solitary Tracks doesn’t just crackle, it cooks.”
- Esquire
“Moore officially revealed his next career chapter – and it’s a rich one.”
- American Songwriter
“This fellow is building an overseas career that’s stronger than any of his peers.”
- Music Row
“The 23 songs promise to fire an arrow at the heart of his target audience, a group that’s just a little
left-of-mainstream. His refusal to adjust his aim is what’s made him so fascinating.”
- Taste of Country
“Solitary Tracks promises to be a collection unlike anything we have seen from the multi-platinum singer/songwriter before.”
