Upcoming Kenny Chesney album 'Here and Now' to be released worldwide on May 1

The much awaited upcoming Kenny Chesney album ‘Here and Now’ now has a release date, with the album set to drop worldwide on May 1.
‘Here and Now’ represents Chesney’s 19th solo album in an illustrious career, which has seen the Knoxville born artist regularly embark on stadium tours in the US, top charts and win awards.
Speaking about the album, Chesney stated that it was written with his fanbase – who he has dubbed the No Shoes Nation – firmly in mind, with the artist claiming that he gets waves of inspiration to make new music when he sees their reaction to his songs.
“When you’re this far into a career, I think artists need to keep pushing themselves and the music without losing sight of who they are, or forgetting the people you make music for,” Chesney said. “No Shoes Nation is a very passionate place without borders; I get inspired every time I see and hear them.
“These are passionate people who work really hard. They make a difference in their community in all kinds of ways, giving back not so people think they’re good, but because that’s who they are and what they do. When they listen to music, they’re all in – and when they hear something they like, you can feel it in how they respond.
“People work hard and need music that makes them smile, that kicks them into a happy place. There are also songs here that look at very specific people, that tell one person’s story, but it could be any of us. That’s the mark of a good song: let one person’s specific life say so much about a lot of people’s lives.”
Kenny Chesney will continue his stadium tour of the US in April, which will run all the way through to the end of August.
