Kenny Chesney‘s new album Cosmic Hallelujah is available now! Kenny believes that this new project builds on the momentum of the his last couple of albums of giving his fans new and challenging music. Kenny says that Cosmic Hallelujah is a “fun record,” and he thinks that the title alone will pull some fans in, who will be curious about what kind of music can be found on an album with a title like that.
Spoiler Alert…it’s great music. There’s a ton of great music on Cosmic Hallelujah!
Kenny Chesney thinks that Cosmic Hallelujah builds on the momentum that his last couple of previous albums started. (:52)
“I think that with The Big Revival it was such a shift for us because the record before that was more of a singer song writer acoustic record that we did, a bunch of the songs I wrote on my boat you know, and it was my love letter to the islands in a way, but when we went in to make Big Revival we made a complete shift and there is a touch of uncertainty that comes with that especially when you’re used to doing things a certain way. With the success of The Big Revival, you would think that that would add pressure, but it didn’t. It just fed me as a creative person and gave me this creative license to take that and dig a little harder and to build on what we did and I believe we’ve done that with Cosmic Hallelujah.”

“This is a fun record to listen to. There’s not a lot of dull moments in this record. It does take you on a journey and that’s the thing I love about Cosmic Hallelujah is it takes you on a journey. There’s, even the ballads move. Even the ballads in my opinion move and take you and sweep you into this one place. There’s not a lot of ho hum on Cosmic Hallelujah…really, I don’t believe, and I think that that’s the beauty of it. I think that it’s going to translate very well into the live environment, which in the end…I mean this is why we do the live environment is because you make the records, somebody lives with it, somebody takes it and applies it to their life and then they want to come and see the live version of that, and I think about that all the time.”
Kenny Chesney thinks fans will be curious about the album titled Cosmic Hallelujah. (1:10)
“I think that the title of your record, really it should, make the listener out there, the people that I’ve been a part of your life for a while, it should make them wonder what that means. It should make them wonder what’s with in the record. I think that the first time we really achieved that was with Hemingway’s Whiskey. It was such a great song written by Guy Clark, and then the last record that we had out there… The Big Revival, I felt like when you were people saw that bus, painted on the album cover and then it had that wonderful title, it made them wonder what it was like to take a ride on the bus and go through all the journey of that record. Now we have Cosmic Hallelujah and I think that we have…I think if I’m just a normal fan out there, I’m going to go ‘What’s in there? What does that mean? What does this music mean? What’s it going to mean to me, and how am I going to relate my life to it.’ I think that’s always a ‘plus’ when you can do that, and I think that just adds to the mystique, I guess, of what’s inside and I think it allows people to possibly connect on even a deeper level.”
