NASHVILLE, TN (August 16, 2017) – Chart-topping songwriter and entertainer Ryan Follese surprised fans today, announcing his full-length, self-titled debut Country album will be available digitally this Friday (8/18) on BMLG Records. Prior to breaking the news, his social media account went dark this week and ambiguously teased “Something’s coming.” He has subtly dropped hints over the last few months, previewing tracks in an opening slot on Sam Hunt’s 15 IN A 30 TOUR this summer. The crowds have been a perfect mix of the former Hot Chelle Rae frontman’s catchy melodies (MULTI-PLATINUM “Tonight, “Tonight”) infused with familial Country lyrics he was raised on with hit songwriter parents.

“I am so excited to put out this full album for the fans who grew up alongside me to those who I’ve just met out with Sam Hunt, FGL and Locash this year,” said Ryan. “You have all been a part of my return home, to my roots, and I’m really thankful for your patience during the writing process. I truly believe these songs have always been a part of me, and I hope you’ll feel something too.”Accredited for his clever turn of phrase and musicianship on each of the 12 tracks, Ryan again embraced the sounds he was born into and turned to the people closest to him to help put the record together. His father Keith Follese (Tim McGraw, Faith Hill), mother Adrienne Follese (Lady Antebellum, Martina McBride) and brother Jamie Follese (Hot Chelle Rae) alongside producer Cameron Montgomery (Maroon 5, Nicki Minaj) contributed their talents to the collection while Dann Huff (Keith Urban, Thomas Rhett) joined as co-producer on a couple of songs. Jimmy Harnen is the Executive Producer.
