It’s official… Hailey Whitters is in her Lover era ❤️

As a part of this week’s New Music Friday, the budding songstress released I’m In Love on all music streaming platforms, ultimately kickstarting a brand new wave of music that fans are just too excited for.

Whitters released The Dream back in 2020, a 12-track project that focused on her experience living in Nashville. Just two years later, the Iowa native released Raised, a 17-track project that looked back on her experience living in the midwest, prior to her move to Music City.

With two albums that focus on her past and her present, respectively, does I’m In Love focus on her future?

Nope! Shocking fans everywhere, her brand new EP follows a completely different format that her last two projects, sharing her journey exploring relationships, experiencing heartbreak and ultimately finding love.

In a recent press release, the talented singer-songwriter gushed, “My last two LPs were concept records – The Dream being about my Nashville experience, and Raised was a love letter to the heartland I’m from. Both of these records are foundational to who I am.”

“Along the way, I’ve lived a lot of life and learned a lot about myself, and I’m excited to get more personal and straight from the heart with this next chapter. If you’ve made it this far, you know where I’m coming from. Now I’m ready to share where I’ve been and who I am,” she concluded passionately.

The highly-anticipated project features six must-listen tracks, including a few pre-released hits: “Everything She Ain’t,” “I’m In Love” and “Tie’r Down.” While we know and love all three songs, you will definitely want to add “Countryside Chick,” “Mellencamp” and “Bad Love” to your music library ASAP.

Now is the time to study up on Hailey Whitters’ music before she is a global sensation!
