Lauren Alaina – “Wildflower” Album Art Revealed (It’s Official)

UPDATE: The album art has been officially unveiled. From an email:

Hey everybody! I am so excited to be able to reveal the cover of my new album, Wildflower, which will be released on Oct. 11th. I can’t wait for you to hear the album, which has 12 songs, including one that I co-wrote. All of the songs are very different, so there’s something on Wildflower for everybody. Each song tells a story that I really related to, and my hope is that the songs will touch your heart as well.

We’ll be releasing more details about the album soon. I wanted to be sure that you were the first to see my new album cover. Thanks for believing in me!
