After breaking out in 2018 with her Grammy-nominated debut album, Girl Going Nowhere, Ashley McBryde announced she will drop her sophomore album, Never Will, on April 3.
The 11-song offering, which was produced by Jay Joyce, features lead single âOne Night Standardsâ and newly released track âMartha Divine.â Ashley co-penned nine of the 11 tracks.
âThe significance behind the album title comes from the lyrics in the title track: âI Didnât, I Donât and I Never Will,ââ says Ashley. âBefore we recorded it with Jay [Joyce] in the studio, I said to my bandmates, âIf weâre going to cut this and put it on the record, youâre promising anyone who ever listens to our music, we donât listen to the noise in the background. We didnât, we donât and we never will. Donât cut it unless youâre willing to promise it.â And we cut it right then.â
