<p><strong><a title="Scotty McCreery" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSScottyMcCreery/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fscotty-mccreery-tickets%2F">Scotty McCreery</a></strong> has lived a lot of life in between his last album in 2013 and his long-awaited new album, <em>Seasons Change</em>, available everywhere this Friday, March 16 on Triple Tigers Records. He moved out on his own, went to college, released a book, proposed to his high school sweetheart, and most recently, notched his first No. 1 single with “Five More Minutes,” a song written by McCreery after losing his grandfather.</p>

<p>“I feel like people will get to know the real me when they listen to <em>Seasons Change</em>,” said McCreery. “I’ve had quite the life journey since my last album. I’ve grown up, learned who I am and what I want to say. This album is very personal and my favorite yet. I cannot wait for everyone to hear it.”</p>
<p><em>Seasons Change</em> features 11 tracks, all of which McCreery had a hand in co-writing, marking a first for the 24-year-old country singer. Each track on the album allows fans a glimpse into the different corners of McCreery’s life—with songs like “In Between” featuring McCreery’s favorite line about himself – “I ain’t all Holy Water and I ain’t all <a title="Jim Beam" href="https://whiskeychick.rocks/branded">Jim Beam</a>, I’m somewhere in between,” “Boys From Back Home” about McCreery’s real-life friends from North Carolina and his upcoming new single “This Is It,” a song McCreery penned two weeks prior to proposing to his fiancé as an almost-blueprint to how he envisioned the proposal unfolding. <em>Seasons Change</em> is a true reflection of where the North Carolina native is in life.</p>
