Trisha Yearwood Releasing New Music; Out On Tour

Trisha Yearwood has revealed that she hopes to have a new album out by the early summer, stating that "I just put it on the back burner and it needs to be focused on", although she admits it may not even come out this year despite that.

Her last record, Heaven, Heartache & The Power of Love was released in 2007, so it's been a long time coming. “I’m listening to a lot of songs right now and I’m really loving what I’m hearing,” Trisha explains. “I think I needed to take a break to be able to listen with fresh ears because I’m hearing some really great stuff.  So I’m excited about going back in, but what I’ve learned is I really need to set aside a time to go, ‘This is the project and this getting is 100% of my attention’ rather than try to piece it in between everything else. That’s just not working well for me.”

Trisha also headed out on the Just Because tour yesterday (February 19). “I don’t have an album out, nothing to promote and people are like, ‘Why are you going on tour?’ Because I want to,” she tells Billboard magazine. “So that’s why I’m calling it the Just Because Tour. I’m not going out there to try to get somebody to play my record. I’m going to have fun and that’s coming, but for right now, these shows can just be about playing music and having a good time.”

She's also intending to go out with her husband Garth Brooks when he returns to touring in the fall. It will be a world tour and will reportedly last three years.
