Today is a BIG day for Reba McEntire!
After being named this year’s host for the 54th Academy of Country Music Awards, the country superstar revealed that a new album is coming on Friday, April 5th — just two days before the big night.
The 12-track project titled Stronger Than The Truth follows her dual chart-topping, GRAMMY® and GMA Dove Awards-winning Sing It Now: Songs of Faith & Hope and is co-produced by Reba and Buddy Cannon.
“The response toSing It Now: Songs of Faith & Hope reinforced my love for recording songs that speak to the heart. So when I started selecting songs for this album, I stuck with that same formula – go with the songs that touch my heart, and hopefully when you hear me singing it, they’ll touch yours too. That honesty once again revealed itself,” expressed Reba in a press statement.
“I grew up on an 8,000-acre family ranch singing at dance halls, honky-tonks and rodeos with my brother and sister. Stronger Than The Truth takes me back to that kind of country music that I grew up with. I haven’t gotten to do that in a while, so I’m thrilled to pieces to release this new music.”
Beginning today, fans can purchase exclusive album bundles at Reba.com such as the 100-Proof Package (autographed vinyl, shot glass, bar tool set and t-shirt). Reba will share more details about the project through a Facebook Live at NOON CT on February 15 in conjunction with the pre-order that includes an immediate download of the title track.
Reba will announce the nominees for the 2019 ACM Awards on CBS This Morning on Wednesday, February 20th. You can watch Reba host one of country music’s biggest nights on Sunday, April 7th @ 8/7c on CBS.
