Bush looks forward to "52 - This Year"

Friday, February 17, 2023 – Kristian Bush will release the final installment of his four-album release "52 - This Year" on March 10 via Big Machine Label Group.

Bush shared the album's lead single, "Already Yours," today.

"It's strange that we don't have names for certain feelings even with all of the words we have in the English language," Bush said. "But the feeling you get when you realize someone you have just met feels like someone you've known for lifetimes is the feeling this entire song is about."

The Sugarland co[founder will have released four albums within one year with "52 – This Year." The 52 represents one song for each year of his life. The new release contains 14 songs.

The album title draws its name from the lyrics of the final song, the personal "New Year's Resolution #7," which Bush wrote beside a fireplace on New Year's Day 2016 while both reflecting and looking to the future.

"I was making a list of the things I wanted to do, what I wanted to change, and what I thought I got right last year that I should keep up," he said. "It is the truth of me, the closest you will probably ever get to knowing me. So, it seems appropriate as the title to this final volume of 52."

Bush also has a weekly podcast, 52-The Podcast, that track-by-track explores the connection between his new songs and his past hits, produced new artist Megan Moroney, runs his record label/publishing company Songs of the Architect, and writes, records and performs with his rock band Dark Water and his folk rock duo Billy Pilgrim.

"Fans have a true opportunity right now – between technology and timing – to hear a year in the life of a creator," Bush said. "I'm filled with gratitude for the support of the people who said yes over the last 30 years. Their timing was so unique that it helped me make my own fingerprint and that fingerprint is so unique that I hope someone sees what I've been able to accomplish and create and it gives them permission to know it's possible."

1. "Can't Fix" | Kristian Bush, Connie Harrington

CD review - BIGGER, Louder, Live It almost goes without saying that in today's fickle music world you have to constantly be atop your game, generating new content lest your listeners move on to the next selection in their Spotify shuffle. Thus, artists can't be content with dropping a new album every year or two and resting on their past accomplishments; now they've got to churn out EP's, live recordings and more to keep their audience satiated and satisfied. Realizing this truth, country duo Sugarland fights ...
CD review - Bigger Sugarland is back with "Bigger," its first studio album in nearly a decade. And its arrival says more about branding, than anything else. Although his voice is heard often enough on this album to make his presence felt, it's still difficult to get away from seeing Kristian Bush in the Oates to Hall or Ridgeley to Michael role in this duo. Jennifer Nettles is the act's primary focus. However, Nettles plays theaters on tour, while Sugarland fills stadiums, making it a commercial no-brainer. ...
CD review - Southern Gravity With a tragic stage collapse prior to a Sugarland show and a failed marriage in his rearview mirror, one might expect Kristian Bush's solo debut to be peppered with tales of regret and heartbreak. Yet "Southern Gravity" is surprisingly anything but for the other half of Sugarland, offering up a solid dose of positive vibes, heartfelt love and strong mainstream country appeal. Lead single "Trailer Hitch" sets the tone with a laidback appeal that colors the whole of the ...
