Tyler Hubbard is getting ready to release his second solo album, Strong, this Friday (April 12th), and he says that his album was created the opposite way as his self-titled debut solo album.
“I would definitely say this whole album was somewhat reverse engineered, you know? Created to play live, created from the live show, as opposed to create it and then figure out how to turn that into a show, right, into a set list,”

“I would definitely say this whole album was somewhat reverse-engineered, you know? Created to play live, created from the live show, as opposed to create it and then figure out how to turn that into a show, right, into a set list,” says Tyler. “So, it was a lot of fun in that way, and I think that being last year was really the first time I got to start meeting my fans after putting out my debut album in January (2023). It was really a time of really getting to know my audience, getting to know my fans, seeing who’s coming to the shows, seeing who’s listening to my music. And I know I didn’t meet everybody, but I was really starting to get to know who my fans were, and so that really helped when it came to not only writing these songs but picking songs for this project.”
The Georgia native co-produced the project alongside Jordan Schmidt and wrote or co-wrote all 13 songs on the album, including his Top 5 hit, “Back Then Right Now.”
Tyler performs at the Grand Ole Opry on Tuesday (April 9th) and then is back on the road with Kane Brown on his In The Air Tour on Thursday (April 11th) in Kansas City, Missouri.
