Jason Aldean is wasting no time in 2026. The multi-platinum country powerhouse has officially released three brand-new songs—“Her Favorite Color,” “What’s A Little Heartache,” and the highly anticipated “Easier Gone”—to kick off the new year. These tracks offer a deeper preview of his upcoming 20-track album, Songs About Us, which is set to arrive on April 24, 2026. For Aldean, this project isn’t just about another record; it’s about capturing the “highs, the lows, and everything in between” of real life.
The standout among the new releases is undoubtedly “Easier Gone,” which features a long-awaited duet with his wife, Brittany Aldean. This collaboration adds a deeply personal layer to an album already rooted in authentic storytelling. Fans won’t have to wait long to hear the new material live, as Aldean’s Full Throttle World Tour returns to the U.S. on January 15. The tour will then head international, marking Aldean’s first-ever headlining run in New Zealand and a return to Australia for the first time in over a decade.
Aldean enters 2026 with significant momentum, already securing two nominations for the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards: Country Artist of the Year and Country Song of the Year for his hit “Whiskey Drink.” His current single, “How Far Does A Goodbye Go,” is also climbing the Top 10, proving that his 20-year career is stronger than ever. This longevity is further highlighted in his January cover story for Nashville Lifestyles, where he reflects on the personal experiences that shaped this latest chapter of his music.
