Reba McEntire just released her new album, Stronger than the Truth, featuring her song, “Freedom,” and she says one great thing about putting out an album at this point in her life is that she doesn’t feel any reservations about singing about any topic. She says, “I am at a great place in my life. So now, I have the freedom, nothing to hold me back, to sing about sad songs, happy songs, story songs. There’s no, ‘Oooh, I don’t want to sing that because that reminds me … Oooh I don’t want to sing that song ‘cause it hurts when I sing it.’”
Reba is on the latest cover of People magazine, talking about having found love again after her painful divorce in 2015 and she says, “I’m very happy, I’m in a real good place. Best time in the world to sing songs like this,” referring to some of the real heartache and heartbreak songs on Stronger Than the Truth.
