Thomas Rhett debuted one more soulful song from his seventh studio album weeks ahead of the full collection’s release.
Rhett released “After All The Bars Are Closed” on Friday (August 9), hailed as a track that “captures the romantic atmosphere of extending the night beyond the bar, exploring a deep, budding romance,” reads a press release issued Friday. “With an arrangement of clean guitars, finger snaps and a smooth, velvet-like beat, Thomas Rhett delivers the lyrics with a suave vocal that blends quick-hitting confidence with genuine attraction.”
The “ After All The Bars Are Closed ” music video also premiered on Friday. The visual includes Rhett’s wife of nearly 12 years, Lauren Akins . The beloved husband-and-wife duo met while they were in elementary school. They dated briefly in high school, remained close friends and reconnected a few years later. Rhett and Akins got married in October 2012. They’ve since welcomed four daughters: Willa Gray (8), Ada James (nearly 7), Lennon Love (4) and Lillie Carolina (2).
“After All The Bars Are Closed” is the latest song to release from Rhett’s 14-track album, About A Woman , following “Beautiful As You,” “Gone Country” and “Overdrive.” The full album will arrive on August 23.
“From top to bottom, I wanted to exude joy and fun with this project – and really just make people move,” Rhett said as he announced new details about his album in early June. “I went into making this record with a fearless attitude, put my blinders on and my head down to try and make really fun music. …I feel like if you were to ask me what this record is about, the answer would be it’s about one woman, my wife, and it gave me an opportunity to say ‘I love you’ in a lot of different ways.”
Listen to Rhett’s exclusive performance and Q&A session with Bobby Bones by tuning into the iHeartCountry Album Release Party with Thomas Rhett . It will be broadcast on iHeartCountry stations at 7 p.m. local time on Friday, August 23, in celebration of Rhett’s album release.
