Yelawolf – Simple
Multi-Platinum Recording Artist and Cross-Genre Songwriter Yelawolf
Returns With New Single “Simple”
Announces New Album 45 Out July 7th
Today, the genre-spanning songwriter, entrepreneur and multiplatinum chart-topping artist Yelawolf shares his new single “Simple.” A slow-burning track that blends his primal vocals with atmospheric production, “Simple” is both an anthem for the world-weary as well as a declaration of freedom for Yelawolf as he opens up with his most direct and personal songwriting of his career. “Simple” is the first single from Yelawolf’s upcoming album 45, also announced today and slated for release on July 27th.
Yelawolf built his career by breaking through artistic boundaries, and on his forthcoming album 45 he once again kicks down the doors of genre conventions. The result is a deeply personal collection of songs that unites elements of modern Americana with his signature vocal delivery while showcasing the full depth of his songwriting.
Centered around his voice as both a singer and storyteller, 45 draws from a collision of distinctly American musical traditions – from the heartland sound of Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen, the gritty storytelling of outlaw country troubadours to the loose, melodic swagger of Southern rock. Though widely known for his fiery rap delivery, Yelawolf sings on every track across 45, revealing a rawer and more vulnerable side of his artistry.
“Overall, 45 is a confessional album,” writes Yelawolf. “I think the vulnerability and honesty is what’s going to connect with listeners the most. I didn’t know these songs were in me to be honest. But for many of the core fans… it may just be the album they’ve been waiting for from me.”
