Jimmie Allen has just revealed that his upcoming third album Tulip Drive will be released on Friday, June 24th.
“It feels great to be talking about the third album,” Allen said. “A lot of these songs are a lot more personal. A lot of my past songs are about relationships. They weren’t about me. It’s just relationships I saw on TV, relationships I saw my friends having, or stories I read online. This album is lots more about me.”
“Tulip Drive” is the name of the street where his late grandmother, Bettie Snead, grew up.
“A lot of the songs on this album are from that time period,” Allen explained. “I was in high school and college at a place where I was just learning a lot of life lessons from my grandmother. I wanted to honor her by naming this album ‘Tulip Drive,’ after the street she lived on in Lewes, DE.”
“No matter what kind of country you like, you should at least find one song in there that you love,” the New Artist nominee said. “I really got to take my time with this thing.”
