Today, country music’s hottest rising act Shaboozey releases his

highly anticipated album Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going via EMPIRE. Listen to the expansive,

12-track genre-bending project HERE. The album’s focus track “My Fault” ft. Noah Cyrus sees the duo

beautifully blend their strong vocals into a perfect harmony, set to an intricate melody on acoustic guitar.

A star continues to shine as Shaboozey asserts himself as a permanent fixture in mainstream culture. His

RIAA-platinum certified, latest anthem and song of the summer “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” currently sits at #4

on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Chart. With this milestone,

he and Beyoncé have made history as the first two black artists to lead the chart with back-to-back #1

songs. The song has also amassed over 300 million streams and landed in the Top 10 in several countries

across the world with #1s in Canada, Sweden, Denmark and the UK's Big 40.

Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going is the most boldly realized work yet from a singular new voice

on the music scene. The Virginia-bred singer/songwriter charts a cinematic road trip through the wilds of

the American West, bringing a powerful new depth to his storytelling while pushing further into the

country/folk-inspired sound he’s explored in recent years. Streaming juggernaut and critically acclaimed

single “Let It Burn,” the haunting heartbreak track “Anabelle,” and “Vegas,” a sing-along ready single

straight from the wild west, were the first tracks off the album to give fans a taste of the highly awaited

project – one primed for universal acclaim.

On Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, Shaboozey shares “This album means the world to me, it's a

reflection of my journey and the stories that shaped me. Growing up in Virginia, music was our way of

speaking truths and finding joy, and I tried to capture that in every track. It's a blend of all my

experiences, the highs, the lows, and everything in between. I hope when y'all listen, you feel that same

connection and authenticity. It's not just an album, it's a piece of my soul, and I'm grateful to share it

with you.”

ABOUT SHABOOZEY

Rising multi-media artist Shaboozey intends to build his own world, determined to carve his own lane in

the Alt-Country / Hip-Hop space; he crafts a sound that pays homage to a cast of traditional western

influences, such as Bob Dylan, Lead Belly, Johnny Cash, and Leonard Cohen, while looking into the future

of what the two genres have yet to introduce. His latest projects including his two standout features on

Beyoncé’s universally-acclaimed COWBOY CARTER along with his latest smash single “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”

have launched him to mainstream stardom with major critical acclaim, millions of streams, and major

success on the Billboard Charts including his Hot 100 debut.

Remaining true to his Virginia roots, Shaboozey hopes to continue the region’s long-standing tradition of

producing some of the most prolific creatives of the new millennium. This time through elevating the

scope of contemporary hip-hop and introducing a modern Americana culture to a global audience. His

newest installment and highly-anticipated album Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going is out on Friday,

May 31
