Staind frontman Aaron Lewis announced that he will release a new solo single, ‘Give My Country Back,’ on Friday, May 22 via Big Machine Label Group. The single will mark the first release from Lewis’s upcoming sixth studio country album. The announcement was made on Instagram.
Lewis shared his enthusiasm for the new release in a recent social media post.
“Let’s get it back,” Aaron Lewis said. “‘Give My Country Back’ is out this Friday. Pre-save/pre-order it now.”
The single represents Lewis’s continued venture into country music. He has been transitioning from rock to country in recent years. This will be his first new material from what will be his sixth studio country album.
Lewis’s journey from rock to country music has deep personal roots that trace back to his childhood. Blabbermouth reported that Lewis grew up in Springfield, Vermont, listening to his grandparents’ country 8-tracks. Those early musical influences inspired the multi-platinum Staind founder to return to his country roots in his solo career.
The upcoming release marks another chapter in Lewis’s successful transition from post-grunge rock to country music. Concerts50 noted that the Vermont-born artist is known for his confessional lyrics in Staind’s post-grunge music. He has successfully established himself in the country music scene through his solo work.
Lewis’s partnership with Big Machine Label Group represents a significant platform for his country music endeavors. The label has been home to numerous successful country artists. It provides Lewis with the industry support needed to reach country music audiences effectively.
Details about the full album remain under wraps. However, the release of “Give My Country Back” signals Lewis’s commitment to his country music career. His most recent solo album, “The Hill,” demonstrated his ability to blend his rock sensibilities with authentic country storytelling. Fans can expect similar authenticity in his upcoming sixth studio country album.
The patriotic theme of the new single aligns with Lewis’s previous country work, which often explores themes of American values and personal reflection. Lewis continues to tour and perform both his Staind classics and country material. He maintains a unique position in the music industry as an artist who successfully bridges multiple genres.
