CURRENT SINGLE: “Slow Down Summer”
Thomas Rhett will release his much-anticipated Where We Started album on April 1st, but fans who pre-order the album have several options to choose from, including a couple of packages that include a special cassette version of the album with commentary from Thomas about every song. Thomas wanted to offer fans the retro option of getting his album on cassette because he says, “When I think about a cassette, I think about being young. I remember my mom taking me to the store to buy a Faith Hill cassette when I was like, maybe six or seven years old. And with the album being called Where We Started, I don’t know, it’s kind of just a deep dive into looking back at your younger self.”
When Thomas thinks about the music he listened to as a kid, he says, “Cassettes are what I grew up with. I was passed vinyl and 45s but cassettes when I grew up were the thing, and I still have a bunch of those from being young. And I just thought, that was kind of a really neat way to ring in the album title with something that feels so nostalgic like a cassette.”
You can pre-order the special cassette version of Thomas Rhett’s Where We Started album or other versions on thomasrhettshop.com.
