While appearing on Good Morning America on Friday (7/8), Kenny Chesney revealed that he’s changed the name of his new album to Cosmic Hallelujah. Kenny says Some Town Somewhere is a great title, but he feels like this new name will give people a better sense of what the music is about and how it expands on his previous album. The album is due out October 28th.
Kenny Chesney’s new album, Some Town Somewhere, was originally set to drop this Friday (7/8), but now fans will have to wait a little longer to get the new music, as Kenny’s pushed back the record’s release until October 28. The decision to postpone the album’s release is due in part to Chesney’s new collaboration with pop star Pink titled “Setting The World On Fire.” Kenny figured that it might be a while before he records another album, and he didn’t want to wait to share this duet because of how good it is. Chesney says, “Sure, it would be easier to just leave everything on schedule, but when you have something you know is great, and it captures the best part of being alive, why wouldn’t you slow down enough to make it happen in the moment?”
· Kenny had become friendly with Pink while spending time with her in California recently, and he knew right away that her powerful voice would be perfect for this song. Chesney shares, “To me, great singers are the ones who can get inside a song and capture the spark. When you hear Pink on this song, you believe her – and to me, that’s everything the song required to come to life.”
