After months and months of setbacks, Garth Brooks will finally release his new album, Fun, on Nov. 20. Garth revealed the name of the new album more than 20 months ago in January 2019, but its release has been delayed due to the ongoing pandemic.
Now, we are just one week away from the albumâs release, and Garth is hoping the new project is both celebratory and healing for fans who have experienced a rough year.
âThe whole reason why Fun hasnât been released was hesitation of having fun or celebrating Funâs release in the midst of a pandemic when people are struggling,â says Garth. âBut now the pandemic has gone on so long, [the question became] could we just have a little fun? Toward the end of the year, can we just celebrate a little bit of the healing through music? And when an artist gets a chance to be part of the healing through his or her or their music, thatâs the greatest honor of getting to . . . to be a musician or an entertainer or an artist.â
Garth has already shared a number of songs from Fun, including âThatâs What Cowboys Do,â âThe Road Iâm On,â âCourage of Love,â âParty Gras,â âAll Day Long,â âStronger Than Meâ and âDive Barâ with Blake Shelton. The 14-track album also features a cover of âShallowâ with Trisha Yearwood, which Garth recently released to country radio as a single.
