Scotty McCreery Talks New Sophomore Album

Hays Post

American Idol winner and budding country superstar Scotty McCreery recently spoke with Billboard, chatting about everything from juggling college life to touring the nation.

More importantly, Scotty revealed plans to release new material soon. McCreery, who had little time to even choose material for his 2011 debut album Clear As Day, is enjoying the process of carefully constructing his latest project.

On his new album, the country crooner said:

You’re going to see the country roots that I love. I grew up on the old stuff. It will still be current music though. That’s what we’re going for.

Fans and Idol viewers got a taste of what's to come when Scotty performed an upcoming track he'd helped to write, "See You Tonight," on the reality show a few weeks back. You can check out that performance in the video embedded below. Scotty continued:

That is one of those things I didn’t have a chance to do on the first record because coming off Idol as the winner, you have a deadline for the first record. We were on the Idol tour as well so we were trying to squeeze it all in.
