Finally… This afternoon, Luke Combs announced his fifth studio album The Way I Am, which is set for release on March 30th. Produced by Combs, Singleton and Chip Matthews, The Way I Am will feature a whopping 22 songs, and Luke says he’s very proud of the album: “It’s been a long process getting this thing going, but I’m really proud of this record. I’ve loved the song ‘Sleepless in a Hotel Room’ for a long time and it’s been awesome to see how excited the fans are for that one as well.” Luke has been teasing tons of music from it, including releasing songs like “Giving Her Away,” “15 Minutes,” and “My Kinda Saturday Night,” and fans have been waiting on the official announcement for a while now. View this post on Instagram And along with the official album announcement today, Combs put out the studio version of his longtime fan-favorite song “Sleepless in a Hotel Room,” which he wrote about five years ago and first shared in October of 2020. He wrote it with Jonathan Singleton and Randy Montana, and it finds Combs missing his wife while on the road far away from home, he says: “Trying to take a nap before my Billboard Music Awards performance tonight and I couldn’t sleep. It reminded me of this song I wrote a few months ago right before everything shutdown. Had this idea one night when I was missing Nicole Hocking, like I am right now. Hope y’all dig this preview of it. Wrote it with Jonathan Singleton and Randy Montana.” It’s one of 22 songs that will be featured on the extensive tracklist, and it finds Combs out on the road, missing his wife back home, and wondering if she’s unable to sleep just like he is. The music from this album feels like a big departure from his 2024 album Fathers & Sons, which was a beautiful project, through I think fans will be excited to hear that classic Luke Combs sound in full effect, which is evidenced on songs he’s already released like “My Kinda Saturday Night” and this new one, “Sleepless in a Hotel Room.” Check it out: “Sleepless in a Hotel Room” My Kinda Saturday Night Tour Dates March 21 Allegiant Stadium – Las Vegas, NV April 4 Scott Stadium – Charlottesville, VA April 11 Jack Trice Stadium – Ames, IA April 18 Notre Dame Stadium – South Bend, IN April 25 Ohio Stadium – Columbus, OH May 2 Neyland Stadium – Knoxville, TN May 9 Gaylord Family – Oklahoma Memorial Stadium – Norman, OK May 15 Lambeau Field – Green Bay, WI May 16 Lambeau Field – Green Bay, WI May 30 Parc Jean-Drapeau – Montreal, QC June 5 Rogers Stadium – Toronto, ON June 6 Rogers Stadium – Toronto, ON July 4 Ullevi – Gothenburg, Sweden July 7 Accor Arena – Paris, France July 11 Johan Cruijff ArenA – Amsterdam, Netherlands July 18 Slane Castle – Slane, Ireland July 19 Slane Castle – Slane, Ireland July 25 Scottish Gas Murrayfield – Edinburgh, UK July 31 Wembley Stadium – London, UK August 1 Wembley Stadium – London, UKThe post Luke Combs Previews New Album ‘The Way I Am’ With Emotional Fan Favorite, “Sleepless in a Hotel Room” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

United States Secretary of Energy Chris Wright on Wednesday announced that the United States plans to exert long-term control over Venezuela’s oil industry, including overseeing its sale “indefinitely.”  Speaking to Goldman Sachs’s annual energy banking conference in Miami, Wright said  that the United States will sell Venezuela’s ongoing production on the global market, emphasizing its use as leverage to “drive the changes that simply must happen in Venezuela.” Executives from Chevron, ConocoPhillips, and ExxonMobil, were slated to attend the conference and hold direct meetings with Wright to discuss future investments.  “I’m working directly in cooperation with the Venezuelans,” Wright, a former oil executive, told the audience. “We are going to get that crude moving again and sell it,” starting with “backed-up, stored oil.” His remarks follow President Donald Trump’s separate announcement on Truth Social, posted late Tuesday evening, that interim authorities in Venezuela will turn over “between 30 and 50 million barrels of high-quality, sanctioned oil to the United States.” Trump said last Friday that American oil companies will spend billions of dollars to repair Venezuela’s oil infrastructure.

The United States seized overnight two oil tankers linked to Venezuela in back-to-back operations in the North Atlantic and the Caribbean, U.S. officials said Wednesday, escalating enforcement of sanctions against what Washington calls a “ghost fleet” moving illicit oil. U.S. European Command said it seized the merchant vessel Bella 1—later renamed Marinera—for violations of U.S. sanctions after months of monitoring. The tanker, sanctioned in 2024 for allegedly smuggling cargo for a company tied to Lebanon’s Hezbollah, had attempted to evade a U.S.-led blockade of sanctioned Venezuelan oil shipments and was sailing towards Russia under the Russian flag. Separately, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said U.S. forces took control of the Panama-flagged tanker Sophia in the Caribbean, noting both vessels had either recently docked in Venezuela or were en route there. Noem said the ships are part of a broader network transporting oil from Venezuela, Iran, and Russia to customers in Asia despite Western sanctions. The seizures follow a surprise U.S. military raid in Caracas that resulted Saturday in the capture of Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro and his wife. Trump administration officials have vowed continued enforcement actions. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. will keep seizing sanctioned vessels under federal court warrants. Russian officials protested the seizure of the Bella 1, arguing it violated international maritime law.
