Darius Rucker's last studio album was released in 2017; it's been a long time coming since he released a new record, and fans can't wait to hear fresh music. Recently, the country star teased his supporters about an upcoming album; when is it coming out?

In an interview with Taste of Country, Ricker revealed that his new record is in the final process and is almost done.

Although Rucker did not explicitly reveal the exact inspiration of his upcoming album, the outlet suggests that it could be about his split with his wife of 20 years.

Rucker added that it's easy to write the new album and mentioned that it would be relatable to listeners. He said writing new songs was fun and therapeutic for him.

When asked about whether his new songs would focus more on his struggles or paint them in a positive light, the singer said it's "both."

He mentioned that writing music that way made him write the song "Beers and Sunshine," which was released in March of last year, exactly before the lockdown happened around the world.

Rucker did not reveal the exact release date of his album, but the outlet suggests that it could possibly drop around January or February of 2022.
