Luke Combs’ highly
anticipated new album What You See Is What You Get—out
November 8 via River House Artists/Columbia Nashville—is now available for pre-order.
Each
pre-order includes an instant download of the new track, “1, 2 Many ” featuring Brooks & Dunn, as
well as the five tracks previously released as part Combs’ The Prequel EP.
The
album’s cover art, which is a photo that was taken by David Bergman and then
painted by Nashville-based artist Rob Hendon, was
also unveiled.
The new album adds to an already monumental year for Combs, who is nominated
for three awards at the 2019
CMA
Awards: Male Vocalist of the Year, Song of the Year (“Beautiful Crazy”) and
Musical Event of the Year (“Brand New Man” with Brooks & Dunn).
Produced by Scott Moffatt, What You See Is What You Get features 17 songs including the five tracks previously released via Combs’ The Prequel EP earlier this summer.
The EP
debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart with all
five tracks charting on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Top 25—a feat
not accomplished by any artist in 60 years since Johnny Cash in 1959.
The
release also propelled Combs to the largest streaming week ever for a country
artist with 73 million on-demand streams (week ending June 13).
Additionally, The
Prequel’s lead single, “Beer Never Broke My Heart,” recently reached No. 1
on both Billboard 's Country Airplay and
Mediabase/Country Aircheck charts.
This is
Combs’ sixth consecutive No. 1—a first on the Billboard Country
Airplay chart—and his fastest rising single to date (13 weeks).
What You See Is What You Get is the follow up to the ACM,
CMA, CMT and Billboard Music Award-winning artist’s breakthrough double
Platinum debut,
This
One’s For You, which is currently No. 1 on Billboard’s Top
Country Albums chart for the 47th non-consecutive week—
the
longest reign ever for a male artist and second longest for an artist overall
following Shania Twain’s Come On Over in 1997 (50 weeks).
This
One’s For You is also the most-streamed country album of 2019 so far.
