Out now: Dustin Lynch album 'Clean Slate'

Dustin Lynch releases his seventh studio album, Clean Slate, today via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. The title track is a personal reflection on losing your way and wondering whether it's too late to find your way back. Building slowly around a hurt he can't quite explain, Lynch inhabits the mind of a wide-eyed desperado who has spent too long giving his angels the cold shoulder. 

“There's something compelling about the idea of a clean slate that signifies and promises a new chapter. I think we've all had moments where we look at our lives and wonder how we got to where we are,” shares Lynch. “What I love about this song is that it is a hard look in the mirror. That felt like the right message to build this album around.”

“How You Been” a collaboration with Ashley Cooke, revisits a summer romance through a phone call that brings every memory rushing back. Lynch has described the duet as a second chapter to his hit “Thinking ’Bout You.” Listen HERE.

“I’m so happy to finally have a song out with Ashley. She sounds incredible on ‘How You Been,’ and from the first time I heard it, it felt like the perfect song for us to do together,” shares Lynch. “To me, it feels like chapter two of ‘Thinking ’Bout You.’ It’s that idea of reconnecting with somebody from your past and realizing those memories might still mean something to both of you. Ashley brings so much personality to her side of the song.”

“The second I heard this song, I was beyond excited Dustin asked me to be a part of it,” shares Cooke. “Not only is it an absolutely infectious melodically, but lyrically it packs a punch and has that clever double entendre I really love in a song. It’s that ‘invisible string’ story in a way that feels fun and flirty. Great song and even better duet partner, what more could you ask for?”

Closing album track “Home To You” is a collaboration with electronic duo MC4D.
