Mat Kearney's album 'January Flower' set for May

Nashville-based, Oregon-born singer songwriter and producer Mat Kearney has announced his new album January Flower, set for release on May 21 via Tomorrow Music/Caroline.

The album is available for pre-orders and pre-saves now. It was written between an isolated retreat in Joshua Tree with old friend Marshall Roeman and songwriter Eli Teplin and his home studio in Nashville with longtime collaborator Robert Marvin (who also helmed Kearney’s breakout Nothing Left To Lose and 2011’s chart-topping Young Love).

“It was about digging down and finding the innocence that comes with wanting to make music solely for the love and passion of doing it,” he says. “I wanted to stay true to that voice.”

The opener, “Powerless,” is available to stream or purchase via your preferred listening service. “Powerless” came from those early session in Joshua Tree, with Kearney considering what it means to lose power – both literally and figuratively – and embracing the feeling of your life being pleasantly out of control.

“That mirrors our experience in life,” he notes. “We have all these grand plans and then something else happens and it can become even better than you planned.”

“Powerless” is joined on January Flower by previously released singles “Can’t Look Back” and “Grand Canyon,” both released in the fall. The new LP follows Kearney’s 2018 album, CRAZYTALK, which debuted at #1 on iTunes.

Thanks to a touring history, which includes treks with artists like John Mayer, Sheryl Crow and NEEDTOBREATHE, dozens of synchs on shows like Grey's Anatomy, on performances on TODAY Show, Ellen, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and more, Kearney has amassed 2.5 billion streams over his career and over 1.6 million albums sold.
