It’s been a while since Brad Paisley dropped a new album, and after the craziness of the past two year’s he’s taking his time to figure out what comes next.

“I feel like I’m resetting a little bit right now,” Brad tells CMT. “We toured all last summer, and it was never back to normal, but it was back to something,” adding, “I don’t even want to say new normal because that better not be the case. I don’t want new normal. Normal better come back.”

And while Brad has released some singles over the past couple of years, he hasn’t quite gotten ready to commit to an album.

“I wrote and did things, and I’ve taken my time,” he says. “But for now, it’s been nice to sort of sit on what I’m working on and try to figure out with some clarity what comes next.” Finally, he shares, “When I do an album, it’ll fully be an album and hopefully not things that feel like I wrote them when everybody was hoarding toilet paper.”
