RaeLynn has officially dropped her full-length album Baytown, releasing the new project this week (9/24). Her first LP on Round Here Records and second to date after her 2017 debut Wildhorse.
“Baytown is a record where you can find a little bit of everything. If you know me, you know I love to dance, get rowdy and have a good time, but you also know that songwriting and talking about hard subjects is something I will never steer away from,” RaeLynn shared in a press statement.
The Voice season 2 alum continued, “Country music is my heart and soul and I fell in love with it when I grew up in Baytown, Texas. Everything that I am and what I represent is imprinted with my hometown in my heart. No matter what I do, what I sing or where I live, Baytown will always be represented because it made me who I am today. On some level we all feel that way about where we were raised. I can’t wait for y’all to dive into this record and see the place you grew up come to life.”
The follow-up to her 2020 EP of the same title, Baytown is a completion of that project, rounding out the out the record with eight new tracks. Ahead of Baytown’s release, RaeLynn shared several new songs with fans including the small-town tribute “Only In A Small Town” and “Made For Me To Love,” the Texas native’s message to her newborn daughter, Daisy Rae.
“It’s like if Cardi B and Dolly Parton had a baby”
“I felt like there was more of the story that I wanted to tell,” Raelyn explained to Taste of Country on why she expanded the EP. “And I always had a feeling that it would be more than six songs.”
“The best way for me to describe Baytown is country people with a little grit and sass.” She told Music Row. “It’s like if Cardi B and Dolly Parton had a baby. It’s fun, but a little ratchet in the best way.”
Baytown also includes RaeLynn’s collaboration with her mentor and former The Voice coach Blake Shelton, “Why I Got A Truck,” as well as a feature with Mitchell Tenpenny on “Get That All The Time.”
