MEGAN MORONEY ANNOUNCES SOPHOMORE ALBUM AM I OKAY? DUE OUT 7/12

In a move that’s sure to thrill Country fans everywhere, Megan Moroney has announced the upcoming release of her hugely anticipated sophomore album, Am I Okay? Due out on July 12, the Sony Music Nashville/Columbia Records singer/songwriter’s new full-length will follow her blockbuster debut Lucky – a critically acclaimed LP that marked one of the biggest Country releases of 2023 and cemented Moroney’s status as Country’s latest “It” girl. Tomorrow, Moroney will share the latest song from Am I Okay?, a larger-than-life anthem called “Indifferent.”

Earlier today, Moroney revealed Am I Okay?’s title and release date on social media, immediately drawing a rapturous response from her legion of devoted fans. The announcement arrived soon after the Georgia-bred artist reached the highly coveted milestone of surpassing a BILLION total global streams across all platforms, thanks to the meteoric success of hits like her 2X PLATINUM, No. 1 breakout single “Tennessee Orange.”

In a formidable follow-up to Lucky — whose countless accolades include landing on best-of-the-year lists from leading outlets like The New York Times and Rolling Stone — Am I Okay? finds Moroney sharpening her phenomenal songcraft and sharing even more of her personal story. As she explores the endless ways that heartbreak upends our lives, Moroney digs deeper into the raw emotionality that’s earned her the nickname “the Emo Cowgirl.” Produced by her longtime collaborator Kristian Bush — and firmly rooted in Moroney’s gorgeously raspy vocal work — the result is a major leap forward for one of Country’s most stunning and unstoppable new talents.

Last weekend at Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California, Moroney captivated the crowd with a powerhouse set featuring smash singles like “Tennessee Orange” and “I’m Not Pretty,” as well as recently released songs like “28th of June” and “No Caller ID.” For her debut appearance at Stagecoach, DanielXDiamond designed an elaborate custom set featuring a multitude of rhinestone-adorned guitars that sparkled in the desert sun — a feat that required no fewer than 168 hours of rhinestoning. 

Last month, Moroney emerged as the most-nominated female artist at the 2024 Academy of Country Music Awards after scoring a total of six nominations, including FEMALE ARTIST OF THE YEARNEW FEMALE ARTIST OF THE YEARSONG OF THE YEAR (“Tennessee Orange”)VISUAL MEDIA OF THE YEAR ("Tennessee Orange"), and MUSIC EVENT OF THE YEAR (“Can’t Break Up Now,” her collaboration with Old Dominion). The 59th ACM Awards will take place on Thursday, May 16, at The Star in Frisco, Texas.

ABOUT MEGAN MORONEY:
One of Country’s biggest breakout stars in recent years, Megan Moroney first burst onto the scene with her RIAA 2X PLATINUM hit single “Tennessee Orange” — an immediate smash showcasing her true-to-life storytelling, unforgettable vocals, and strong-minded yet fiercely sensitive point of view. Along with notching her first No. 1 at Country radio and landing on coveted lists like the Los Angeles Times’ “100 best songs of 2023,” “Tennessee Orange” soon found the Sony Music Nashville/Columbia Records artist winning Breakthrough Female Video of the Year at the CMT Music Awards and making her debut appearances on major TV shows like TODAYJimmy Kimmel Live!Good Morning America, and New Year's Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash. A Georgia native who got her start singing covers with her dad and brother — and later began penning her own songs while studying accounting at the University of Georgia — Moroney made her massively acclaimed full-length debut with 2023’s Lucky: a powerhouse body of work that turned up on best-of-the-year lists from leading outlets like The New York TimesRolling StoneBillboard, and The Associated Press (who hailed her as a “Gen Z songwriter with Taylor Swift-level acuity”). Produced by Kristian Bush and built on a timeless collision of Country, Folk, and Southern Rock, Lucky also revealed the lived-in intimacy and electrifying impact of her songwriting on tracks like “I’m Not Pretty” (her current single, praised by Billboard as a “cheeky, defiant clapback”). Continuing her meteoric rise, she's earned nominations by CMA, ACM, iHeart, and Billboard Music Awards, in addition to appearing at The GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles as part of its illustrious SPOTLIGHT series in the midst of her sold-out THE LUCKY TOUR — a fall 2023 run that brought her magnetic live show to iconic venues across the U.S. Recently featured on Forbes’ 30 Under 30, MusicRow’s Next Big Thing Class of 2024, and Country Radio Seminar’s New Faces of Country Music, she kicked off 2024 with her stunning new song “No Caller ID.” With her sophomore album Am I Okay? due out in July — and over 1 BILLION total global streams to date — Moroney is out on Kenny Chesney's SUN DOWN 2024 TOUR and will perform at high-profile summer festivals like Lollapalooza.
