Surprise. Today, Joshua Ray Walker announced he will be releasing a new album Tropicana next Friday, June 13th, which was written during his treatment for stage 3b colon cancer that had spread to his lungs. After undergoing treatment and chemotherapy for months, he underwent a biopsy, and doctors told him that their initial diagnosis was incorrect and that his lungs are cancer-free. And in even better news, not only does he not have cancer in his lungs but as far as doctors can tell, there is NO cancer left in his body. Obviously he’s still not totally out of the woods yet, and he says that he won’t be totally in remission for another 5 years. During that time he’ll still have to undergo scans and tests, but the best news of all is that as of right now, his “life is not in imminent danger.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Joshua Ray Walker (@joshuaraywalker) This new record will have a “beach-country” feel, as he puts it, which were born from fantasies of ocean breezes and sandy beaches that Walker dreamt of while confined to his home while undergoing chemotherapy. Walker says it was inspired by Jimmy Buffet’s early records, as well as some of George Strait’s vacation-minded hits, and the glory days of ’90s country music: “I was at home for a year, without the ability to play shows or even take a vacation. Since I couldn’t leave town and go see a palm tree in real life, I started writing about them. It’s the sort of place where you can order a piña colada at the pool bar and go wander down a nondescript beach. I couldn’t go to the beach, so I decided to bring the beach to me. Music has always been an escape for me.” While the surgeries and chemo left Walker unable to tour, which was extremely difficult seeing as he’s a road warrior and plays ons of shows every year, he decided to make the most of his idle time and head down the street to his producer, John Pedigo’s, house. Walker is a brilliant talent with an incredible knack for songwriting, and this sounds like it might be a bit different than some of his other music, which will make it incredibly unique and obviously given the inspiration and circumstances, a very special moment in his career. While it’s extremely personal, Walker wants fans to be able to go to wherever “Tropicana” is in their mind: “We did that on purpose. We didn’t limit it to one specific space, because Tropicana is wherever you want it to be.” In addition, he announced an accompanying tour that will kick off on August 14th in Little Rock, Arkansas, and he has several other shows in June in a number of different cities. It’s exciting to see that Walker is feeling well enough to hit the road, and Tropicana will be a must-listen record and potentially career-defining project. Tropicana is due out everywhere very soon, dropping next Friday, June 13th. You can view the 10-song tracklist below.

I like it even more now. Late last night, Megan Moroney shared a pretty lengthy teaser of a song she’s previewed before, though with a much shorter clip, of a song seemingly titled “Heartbreaker,” which details how a relationship went sideways… though the guy keeps popping back up every now and then when she’s just about over it… classic. Like many of her songs, it focuses on heartbreak and how she’s coping in the wake of a breakup, and I think her caption on the video “What doesn’t kill you always calls” probably sums it up just about right: “Let me set you the scene November circa 2019 Put a hole in my heart Watched it bleed You said that we were better off strangers I was barely alive, out of 6 feet deep I was 5 Pretty sure they called a hearse outside Okay, that’s dramatic But I survived, then I survived” I love the production on this one too, it’s super catchy and paired with her sassy, always cutting writing. It’s just a really fun song ahead of the summer so I hope we get to hear the full song soon. It sounds like an official studio cut, so it seems likely the full version will be out in the not too distant future: @megmoroneywhat doesn’t kill u always callssssss ♬ original sound – Megan Moroney Megan released her sophomore album Am I Okay? last year, and also put out a Christmas EP called Blue Christmas… Duh at the end of 2024, and she recently said her next record is 80% done, and it will be much more “light and carefree and happy” than her previous two projects: “I’m always writing. I mean, I would say that my next album is probably like 80% written. I just try to live my life and write about it. So that’s kind of how this next album is shaping up, too. Just like the last ones — I was writing about my life experiences. So the strategy behind it hasn’t changed. It’s still the same.” She teased a couple other songs recently called “Wedding Dress” and “Beautiful Things,” so hopefully we’ll have at least some new singles dropping sooner rather than later. @emocowgirls i hope @Megan Moroney releases this someday. #meganmoroney #weddingdress #countrymusic #countrymusictiktoks #womenofcountrymusic #fy #fyp #foryou #foryoupage ♬ original sound – paige ??
