Shaboozey’s “Where I’ve Been, isn’t Where I’m Going” Album Leak Download ZIP MP3 Files Free
Shaboozey is preparing for the release of his own country album next month, titled “Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going”. The album is set to be released on May 31st through Empire. This is following his previous projects, “Cowboys Live Forever, Outlaws Never Die” in 2022 and his 2018 debut “Lady Wrangler”.
He describes his upcoming album as a blend of different genres with “a little bit of this genre that even Cowboy Carter created, just a bit of everything. A lot of country, but some hip-hop moments on there, too”. He also notes that the album is a reflection of his personal story and journey.
Louisiana native, Jones, lends his vocals on the track “Just for Fun”, which was written by Beyonce, Dave Hamelin, Jeff “Gitty” Gitelman and Ryan Beatty. Jones, who competed on The X Factor’s second season, where he auditioned with a version of Josh Turner’s “Your Man”, released his first album “Down for It” in 2021. He was also a part of the 2022 documentary “For Love and Country”, which focused on the journeys and struggles of Black artists in country music. This week, Jones released his rendition of Usher’s “OMG” as part of a new Apple Music Sessions EP.
Jones’s favorite line in “Just For Fun” is “Time heals everything/ I don’t need anything, Hallelujah”. He says that he felt a strong connection to the song, “To be on the same track as Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter is definitely a check off my bucket list.”
