Ashley McBryde Shares Tearful Video About Upcoming, Unofficially Announced Album: “It’s Like I’ve Never Heard This Artist”
She better not make us wait much longer to hear it…
This afternoon, Ashley McBryde shared a tearful video about the new music she has coming hopefully sooner rather than later, and it’s clear just how much this next batch of tunes means to her.
While driving around in her car, McBryde was crying as she recorded a video she initially sent to her team about her immediate reaction to hearing some of the rough mixes of the songs she has recorded for her next project.
She explained that even though she’s written and been through every stage of the process with these songs, it still felt brand new and had her in tears, and she said that it was like she had never heard the music, or the artist:
“I just listened to ‘—‘ for the first time. It’s a rough mix, it’s not even mixed. And I had just listened to ‘Hand Me Downs,’ and I wrote the damn thing, me and Jessie Jo and Laura, I knew what was in that song.
And then I listened to it, and I kept staring at the dash, like, why would you do that to me? I’ve been here for every note, every syllable, every breathe of this record.
And I’m listening to the mixes and it’s like I’ve never heard this record. It’s like I’ve never heard this artist.”
It’s raw, vulnerable, and real, which is exactly what I love about Ashley and her music.
She released her most recent studio album The Devil I Know in 2023, so it’s been a while since we’ve gotten an official album from her, and so it’s exciting to hear that her next record is in the works:
“This is literally a video I sent to my team after hearing this new music. Stay Tuned!”
Whatever it is that has inspired this music, it sounds like we might be getting to learn about a whole different side of her as an artist, and I can’t wait…

Ashley has shared some about her sobriety journey, even opened her own non-alcoholic bar called Redemption inside of Eric Church’s Chief’s Bar on Broadway in Nashville. I have to imagine that could be a theme in at least some of the songs, and if you’re a fan of her music, then you already know how authentic and honest it is so I’m sure you can expect that too.
She also launched her Light On Fund last month, which will focus on mental health of veterans, rehabilitation resources for the creative community, helping children in the foster care system, championing ASL interpretation at live music events, and much more, and it will announce a new charitable focus each quarter starting 2026.
In terms of live shows, McBryde will return to Eric Church’s Chief’s on Broadway for several shows in 2026, and hopefully, she’ll have some new tour dates for the new year coming soon too.
