As the week comes to a close, country music fans are in for a treat with the latest offerings from their favorite artists, marking another exciting New Music Friday. Jason Aldean is leading the charge, unveiling not only the announcement of his forthcoming album, *Songs About Us* but also releasing three stirring new tracks: “Help You Remember,” “Hard To Love You,” and “Lovin’ Me Too Long.” These songs are available for listening as of November 7, with the full album scheduled for release on April 24, 2026. Aldean will also take the stage to co-headline UGA’s Sanford Stadium alongside Luke Bryan that week.
Aldean’s new album promises to resonate deeply with listeners, encapsulating life’s journey through poignant storytelling. The song “Help You Remember,” in particular, is inspired by Aldean’s personal experiences with family members suffering from dementia, and features themes that highlight the mission of the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America. Aldean states, “It means the world when one of my songs helps someone through a hard time—or celebrates their best moments. This album is about all of that—the highs, the lows, and everything in between.”
In addition to his powerful new tracks, Aldean has revealed a 20-song tracklist for *Songs About Us*, which features collaborations with notable artists such as Luke Bryan, David Lee Murphy, and Aldean’s wife, Brittany Aldean, who appears on the song “Easier Gone.” Furthermore, he announced an extension of his Full Throttle World Tour, which will include his first-ever headlining shows in New Zealand as well as a long-awaited return to Australia after a decade.
The musical landscape this week is not solely dominated by Aldean. Fans can also enjoy fresh releases from artists like Drake Milligan with *Tumbleweed*, RaeLynn’s festive *Jingle Jangle Rock*, Erin Kirby’s *In And Out of Love*, and several others. Emerging talents are also making waves, alongside established names like Gabby Barrett, Kelsea Ballerini, and Dan + Shay. Notable collaborations include Carter Faith and William Beckmann’s “Nothin’ For Christmas,” as well as Hannah Ellis and Nick Wayne’s “Christmas at 60 MPH.”
As the country music industry continues to thrive, both veteran artists and newcomers are making their mark, ensuring there’s something for everyone. This week’s lineup proves to be rich in variety and emotion, encouraging fans to discover new sounds while celebrating their favorites.
