- DAN + SHAY ANNOUNCE FORTHCOMING ALBUM OBSESSED TO BE RELEASED JUNE 3
Lead single “From The Ground Up” Top 30 and climbing on Country radio
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – (April 20, 2016) – Multiple ACM Award, CMT Music Awards and CMA Award nominated chart-topping duo Dan + Shay (Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney) announced today that they are set to release their brand new album Obsessed, the follow up to their No. 1-peaking album Where It All Began, June 3 on Warner Bros. / Warner Music Nashville.
“The idea for the album title, Obsessed, came directly from our fans,” shares Smyers.
“Our fans know we live on social media both when we’re in and
out of the studio, and we started noticing that hashtag ‘#obsessed’
being tagged in all our fans’ posts when we first revealed our single,
‘From The Ground Up,’” Mooney adds. “So when it came time to pick a
title for this album, it seemed pretty appropriate that we’re even more
obsessed with making music for our fans than they are to hear it.”
“From The Ground Up,” the first single off of Obsessed, is currently Top 30 on Country radio and climbing. Dan + Shay premiered the heartfelt song last month on ABC’s Good Morning America. Written
by the pair along with Chris DeStefano and co-produced by Smyers and
the award-winning Scott Hendricks, the track has already accumulated
more than 8 million streams.
The duo recently earned American Country Countdown Award nominations for
Group/Duo of the Year and Breakthrough Group/Duo of the Year, as well
as a nod from the Radio Disney Music Awards for their No. 1 hit single,
“Nothin’ Like You.” With their debut album, Where It All Began,
producing three Top 40 singles, Dan + Shay have sold an excess of 1.6
million tracks, more than 400,000 album equivalents and racked up more
than 140 million streams in addition to their 30 million YouTube views.
They also earned Platinum certification from the RIAA for their debut
single, “19 You + Me.” MusicRow magazine, which named the pair
one of their “Next Big Thing” artists of 2016, declared, “Dan + Shay are
equipped to be superstars, possessing the unbeatable combination of
musical talent, good looks and outgoing charm.”
Dan + Shay are currently on the road and will join Darius Rucker on his Good for a Good Time Tour this summer, kicking off on June 3 in Tampa, Fla.
