After nearly five years of writing, Lily Rose is ready to share her story like never before with the release of her highly anticipated new album, I Know What I Want, arriving October 3.

Announced today, the 13-track project captures the emotional highs and lows of Rose’s personal journey in recent years. She co-wrote all but two songs on the album, collaborating with acclaimed songwriters including Paul DiGiovanni, Hillary Lindsey, Emily Weisband, and more.

Giving fans a preview of what’s to come, Rose will release the song, “Of Course I Do” this Friday, Aug. 8.

“I’ve been writing for this project for almost five years now and during that time, I have spanned the spectrum of peaks and valleys,” Rose shared. “Through these years, I have known what I want but have been navigating how to get there… and I feel like I finally made it. When it comes to my catalog of songs, a lot of them were written to bring energy to the live show – ‘Of Course I Do’ is the poster child for that. It’s the song I’m most excited to crank up to 10 in my car and play live.”

Luke Combs On Embracing An ‘Oddly Normal Life’ Rooted In Simplicity, Family, And Staying True To Himself

No Comments on Luke Combs On Embracing An ‘Oddly Normal Life’ Rooted In Simplicity, Family, And Staying True To Himself

Luke Combs may be one of the biggest names in country music, but fame hasn’t changed much about the way he lives day to day. In fact, even now that he’s a 2X CMA Entertainer of the Year and multi-platinum artist, the North Carolina native says his life offstage is surprisingly low-key, which is something he’s worked hard to keep that way since the very start.

“I live an oddly normal life, to be honest…and that’s the way I want it to be,” Combs told Audacy’s Katie Neal.

In order to maintain that normalcy as a massively successful artist, Combs has had to work hard to establish a good work life balance and through it all, the key has been to remain his most authentic self whether he’s on stage, in public or in the comfort of his own home.

“I feel like is whatever the public version of me is, because it’s not really any different than who I just am anyways. Whatever the persona is, is just who I am. So it’s easy to just be myself and that’s what I always wanted. I didn’t want to have to pretend to be anything and that I’m not,” he admitted.

Living In A Two-Bedroom House

At home, Combs is just father and a husband who still shares a 2-bedroom, 2,000-square-foot home with his wife Nicole and their two young sons.

“Me and my wife have a room and the boys share a room. We’re always close together,” he shared during an appearance on The MeatEater Podcast.

Living in a smaller space means that he and his family have no choice but to spend time close together. This also allows them to give their boys Tex and Beau in as much of a regular childhood as possible under the circumstances.

“The living room is the play room,” he explains. “And they play in there, I mean, we let ’em destroy it…But every night, it’s like, we’re all cleaning up now.”

Favoring Minimalism To Big Purchases

Even though the “Back In The Saddle” singer certainly has the funds to afford a much bigger house and just about any other material items he wants, Combs says he’s never been one to splurge on flashy things.

“I could have the newest and nicest of everything but I just don’t,” he told Taste of Country. “I mean, I have a lot of nice things that I’m very, very thankful for, but, I’ll get the most use out of what I do have,” he adds.

The hitmaker finds more comfort in simplicity and familiarity however that doesn’t mean he doesn’t still treat himself from time to time. And when he does choose to spend more, Combs admits he has a soft spot for “stereotypical country guy stuff” such as guitars, land, and most of all, watches.

“I’ve got some really nice old Gibsons and stuff like that. Just stuff that plays good. I’m not a very good guitar player, but I really enjoy playing. I love a good sounding guitar. So that was number one,” Combs shared. “And then watches, man, I’m bad into watches, man. It’s really bad. crazy dude…And then I mean land. Hunting land is up there for sure.”

Making Progress On New A New Album

Luke Combs has spent the past few months making an appearance at various festivals and working on new music, all while maintaining that strong work/life balance by spending plenty of time at home. He admits that now that him and his wife are finally feeling more settled in their transition from having no kids to having a 3-year-old and a nearly 2-year-old, he’s been back in the studio working on his next album.

The country act revealed he’s recorded around 30 songs but has yet to decide how many will make the cut and what the project will be titled. For now, fans are enjoying his latest release, “Back In The Saddle” which dropped as his duet with Bailey Zimmerman titled, “Back Up Plan,” continues its rise up the charts. He’s next set to take the stage at the Jazz Aspen Snowmass in Aspen, CO on August 31
