Tyler Hubbard's new album 'Strong' releases Friday, April 12.
says he feels “a little more established, found a little bit more of a rhythm. Until last year, I didn’t know who my fanbase really was, but I got to know them, being on the road so much last year. I know who my fanbase is, so this feels like the first project that I’ve written with my fans in mind.”Within little more than a decade’s span, as part of his former duo Florida Georgia Line , Hubbard sent 16 songs to the pinnacle of, with “Meant to Be” and “Cruise.
“I’m sure a lot of people have the same kind of story where they grew up, moved away and maybe didn’t come back as much as they would have liked, or left home indefinitely,” he says. “That’s sort of what I did. I’m proud of where I came from, but also don’t have a whole lot of reasons, other than a few friends and my brother, that are still there to really go back to. I haven’t spent a lot of time there and it was cool to try to channel that for a song concept.
He collaborated with The Cadillac Three member and songwriter Jaren Johnston on “American Mellencamp,” one of a few songs that Hubbard wrote at Ryan Tedder’s writing space in Los Angeles. Several songs on the new album, including “Wish You Would” and “Vegas,” were written over the past year or so, while Hubbard was on the road over the past year, which included opening shows for Keith Urban .
“I feel like the genre’s in a cool season right now,” he says. “People from pop and everywhere else are wanting to be part of the genre and come to Nashville, which I think is cool. You see some artists coming to Nashville and really diving into the songwriting part of what we do, which I think fundamentally sets us apart. That’s one of my favorite parts of our community.”
