After recording an eye-catching track with The War and Treaty for the 2023 Rolling Stones tribute album, Stoned Cold Country, country-rock duo Brothers Osborne seem to have stayed in the studio for a little longer, as they've announced a handful of brand new songs.
The latest is ‘Goodbyes Kickin’ In’, which the duo confirmed would be released on Friday, May 26.
The recently released three-pack is called the Nobody's Nobody Sampler, which seems to be a not-so-subtle hint that ‘Nobody's Nobody’ will be the title of their upcoming album. The sampler EP dropped on April 7, and featured three never-heard-before tracks.
It included the title-track, ‘Might As Well Be Me’ and ‘Rollercoaster (Forever and a Day)’, the latter of which Brothers Osborne performed during a recent showcase.
The heartfelt ballad expresses a feeling of unconditional love, and a willingness to stick it out through the highs and the lows of the relationship (“Sometimes falling, sometimes flying / But in spite of everything / I could ride this rollercoaster for forever and a day”.
The new record is expected to be released this summer, and will serve as the hotly anticipated follow-up to Brothers Osborne's acclaimed 2020 album, Skeletons, which received a deluxe revamp in 2022.
One of the stand-out tracks from the project, ‘Younger Me’, earned TJ and John Osborne a Grammy for Best Country Duo/Group Performance, while Skeletons also received a nod for Best Country Album.
Given the success of Skeletons, it's safe to say expectations are sky-high for their long-awaited follow-up record.
