“Ready For This New Chapter To Start” – Koe Wetzel Sends Fans Into A Frenzy With Yet Another Teaser For His Upcoming Album
Bring it on.
Despite only releasing two singles, “Surrounded” and “Werewolf,” 2025 proved to be a pretty huge year for Koe Wetzel. Riding the highs of his 2024 album, 9 Lives, he would score his first-career #1 hit on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart with “High Road” featuring Jessie Murph. In case that wasn’t enough for the Texas native, “High Road” would also go on to be named iHeart Radio’s #1 song of 2025 and furthermore top Mediabase’s year-end chart, capturing the year-end #1 spot there as well.
As we begin 2026, it’s becoming increasingly clear that Wetzel is gearing up for what can only be described as his biggest and most anticipated album yet.
If you recall, back in September, the “Good Die Young” singer would confirm that he’s sitting on not one but TWO records heading into 2026.
“We’ve got some new music coming. I don’t know exactly when the release date’s gonna be, but a lot of new music. I think we’re sitting on like two records now. We’re excited about all new music and finishing up the tour and hunting season.”
At the time, he would note that the album(s) are still in the early stages without a working title. Additionally, he declined to comment about any potential collaborations on the album, saying he can’t release that much information.
Wetzel would add even more fuel to the fire regarding a new album back in November when shared a taste of the new music he’s been working on with fans, sending a text via his fan club number asking which song they liked best:
“Which song #1-6?”
The text featured a link to a video that has been cut up to include teasers for six songs, and the video is simply titled “New Album Teaser,” so it’s fairly safe to assume all of these tracks are going to be on a forthcoming album.
You can listen to all the new tunes here:
Over the past few months, Wetzel’s been a bit quiet in terms of new information surrounding the new album. That, however, changed today when he uploaded a brand new video to Instagram.
The video contains Wetzel, dressed in a suit, saying, “That’s a good one. That might be one of my favorites off the record, man. That’s insane; that’s good.” It then cuts to audio from the previously-teased track, “Time Goes On,” which features clips of the 33-year-old singer/songwriter smoking a cigar, driving a truck and standing in the woods before finishing with him stepping into a circus.
The caption, in particular, really turned heads:
“Ready for this new chapter to start”

Clearly through-the-roof with the fact we’re one step closer to an official album announcement, fans began to take to the comments expressing their excitement, begging Wetzel to stop teasing them and to drop the album already.
“LETS GO KOE! ”
“We are all ready!!”
“Sir! Stop teasing us!”
“New album is going to be straight heat”
“DROP THE BANGER YOU ARE KILLING US!!”
“JUST DROP IT ALREADY”
“We back boys”
“I NEED THIS!!! LFG!!!!”
As of now, Wetzel’s new project does not have a release date. With that being said, however, it’s safe to assume that an official announcement is coming VERY soon. For now, however, we’ll just have to wait.
Before you go, fire up his latest release, “Werewolf.”
