Charles Kelley to Release Solo Album 'Songs For A New Moon' June 25

Charles Kelley, co-lead vocalist of Lady A, will release his new solo album 'Songs For A New Moon' on June 25, marking his first major solo project in years. The 16-track album embraces a modern take on 1980s pop, blending it with yacht rock, country, and R&B influences, while emphasizing themes of self-discovery, optimism, and personal renewal. Produced mainly by Sam Ellis and Lindsay Rimes, with Kelley co-writing all original tracks, the record features lush instrumentation, including saxophones and synths, and includes both upbeat anthems and soulful ballads. Kelley describes the project as his most present and personal work, reflecting on his sobriety, growing family, and a positive new phase in life. Early singles like 'Run' and 'Driving And Listening to Music' showcase the album's nostalgic yet fresh sound, with 'Can't Lose You' already making a notable debut on the Adult Contemporary radio charts. The album also features covers, such as The Killers' 'Here With Me' and Cyndi Lauper’s 'Time After Time,' further highlighting Kelley’s genre-spanning approach.
