Warner Music NashvilleHot on the heels of a massive breakout year, Ashley McBryde has shared plans to release her sophomore album, Never WillThe new record is due out on April 3, and will feature the same fiery attitude Ashley brought to her critically acclaimed debut, Girl Going Nowhere

In fact, the singer says the new album’s name comes from a pact and promise she, her producer Jay Joyce, and her band made in the studio. 

“The significance behind the album title comes from the lyrics in the title track: ‘I didn’t, I don’t and I never will,’” Ashley explains. “Before we recorded it with Jay [Joyce] in the studio, I said to my band mates, ‘If we’re going to cut this and put it on the record, you’re promising everyone who ever listens to our music, we don’t listen to the noise in the background. We didn’t, we don’t and we never will. Don’t cut it unless you’re willing to promise it.’ And we cut it right then.”

Ashley has already shared a couple of tunes off Never Will, including the lead single “One Night Standards” and its fiery follow-up, “Martha Divine.” The music videos for the two songs are parts one and two of the same three-part storyline.
