Kip Moore Announces Deluxe Edition Of ‘Solitary Tracks’

Deluxe edition coming soon.

Today, Kip Moore announced a deluxe edition of his sixth studio album Solitary Tracks will be out everywhere this Friday, August 8th. The original record came out in February of this year, and was a dense and expansive, coming in with a tracklist of 23 songs, easily the biggest record he’s ever put out.

It was the first project he put out with his new label, as he recently signed with Virgin Music Group after leaving his longtime label MCA Nashville last year. Co-produced by Moore with Jaren Johnston and additional production by Oscar Charles and Jay Joyce (Eric Church, Lainey Wilson), there were some really great songs on Solitary Tracks and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It’s unclear how many songs will be added on the deluxe, but Kip shared a preview of one of the new ones called “American Heartbreak” on Instagram today if you want a teaser of what’s to come:

“‘Solitary Tracks Deluxe’ record out this Friday 8/8! Added a couple live versions of songs and this new one, ‘American Heartbreak.'”

In terms of the inspiration for the record as a whole, Kip says the theme of Solitary Tracks is about gambling on yourself, learning to be “bold enough to trust your gut” and willing to roll the dice if you believe in something:

“There’s no pattern you have to follow, and sometimes you gotta gamble on yourself. You gotta be bold enough to trust your gut, and willing to roll those dice if you believe something. I’m never going to cheat by just trying to write what I think people want to hear, or hold onto a sound that worked for me.

I have to constantly stretch and go where I need to go, or it’s going to be disingenuous. I’m going to always be authentic with myself, with every record, and all I ever hope is that people find a little solace. This project is a journey in itself, so I hope it helps people navigate their own life.”

The writing felt really refined to me and is some of his strongest in terms of the contents and reflection that is mature and elevated in terms of his catalog as a whole, and I’ve gone back to several of the songs over the months since it came out, but for me, the easy standout was “Like Ya Stole It,”  which is a sweet nod to his father and full of nostalgic memories I think almost anyone can relate to in some way.

I always look forward to music from him, so it’s even more exciting that we don’t have to wait long at all to hear the new stuff.
