Kip Moore Announces 'Slowheart'

Friday September 15th, 2017 will see the release of Kip Moore’s new studio album, Slowheart.

After taking time out following a crazy few years of relentless touring, the Georgia native is back with the follow-up to 2015’s Wild Ones. 

Writing 11 out of the new album’s 13 tracks, and solely producing seven songs in the collection, the musical wayfarer has always emphasised the personal element of his work, and this is more apparent than ever with his latest release, which kicks off with lead UK single, ‘Plead The Fifth'.

'I definitely feel with this record you’re going to get a very clear sense of where I’ve been at for the last year and a half in my life...'

Moore was inspired to name his third studio album after a nickname given to him by his former guitar player, which in turn has been adopted by both his band and his loyal and growing fan-base.

The cover image, meanwhile, was taken on a trip to Costa Rica earlier this year during his extended break.

'My former guitar player called me a ‘slowheart’ many years ago, claiming I don’t just jump the gun and show all my cards or my emotions, what I truly feel,' explains Moore. 'He always said, ‘you’re a slowheart, man…you observe before you act’. I eventually named the band ‘The Slowhearts’, and my fans are the ‘Slowhearts’, too. So it’s only fitting that the record I’ve been waiting to make is named SLOWHEART!'
