The country-leaning singer-songwriter will be releasing “The Outlaw Cherie Lee & Other Western Tales” on July 31st through his American Dogwood imprint, in partnership with his label home EMPIRE.
The Outlaw Cherie Lee & Other Western Tales is described in press materials as an “expansive concept record building upon Shaboozey’s trail-blazing and genre-colliding style.” In keeping with Shaboozey’s knack for working with superstars from all ends of the musical world, his forthcoming fourth album is expected to feature another series of high-profile collaborations. Shaboozey became a household name based on the massive success of his breakthrough 2024 album, Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, and its chart-topping single “A Bar Song (Tipsy).”
The record’s lead single, “Born To Die,” is out this Friday, April 24. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for the album’s tracklist and features to be revealed, along with dates for Shaboozey’s next tour. As for now, the Grammy winner has several festival appearances on the books for 2026. The singer-songwriter described the new work as a “continuous western” exploring the traditional frontier triptych of revenge, redemption, and romance. The narrative arc, he teased, concludes with a tragic finality where “love fails and violence wins.”
The rollout begins in earnest on April 24 with the single “Born To Die.” That same day, the artist is scheduled to perform at the Today Plaza in Manhattan. The mainstream move serves as a high-profile launchpad for a campaign that seeks to bridge the gap between Nashville tradition, modern Hip-Hop and general American audiences.
