CHRIS LANE DROPS NEW ALBUM, 'SHADE TREE,'
THE NEW 12-TRACK PROJECT MARKS FIRST ALBUM FOR LANE SINCE 2018 LAPS AROUND THE SUN
ALBUM ACCOMPANIES TWO BRAND-NEW OFFICIAL VIDEOS
June 20, 2025 - Nashville, TN - Multi-platinum Country chart-topper Chris Lane released his latest album, Shade Tree, out everywhere today (LISTEN). Marking his first full project since his 2018 Laps Around The Sun, which included 2X Platinum "Take Back Home Girl" and #1-charted "I Don't Know About You," today's Shade Tree offers new twelve tracks, eight of which are co-written by Lane himself.
Lane shares, "This album is such a special project and arguably the best music that I've ever released. I wrote Shade Tree as a nostalgic look back on my life growing up in Kernersville, NC. Life was hard. Life was beautiful. We didn’t have much, but somehow, we had it all at the same time. I hope people love listening to the new music as much as I loved making it!"
Today's album, which offers listeners a "decidedly more Country sound" (MusicRow), embodies Chris' North Carolina roots and his undeniable devotion to his growing family. Alongside previously released titles like "2x4s & 4x6s" and fan-favorites "Fire We Found" feat. Abby Anderson and "What Am I Supposed To Tell The Dog," the project holds a host of fresh new tracks like "She's Got A Type" and "Shootin' Stars," both of which drop alongside official videos.
"Working with Chris on recording this project has been nothing short of remarkable," shares Red Street Records CEO and the album's co-producer Jay DeMarcus. "To watch him thrive creatively not only as an artist but as a songwriter has been an incredible experience. I can't wait for people the get their hands on the magic that is Shade Tree!"
