Australian country music favourite Andrew Swift has officially announced the release of his highly anticipated fourth studio album Lucky Stars due out October 17. The three-time Golden Guitar winner, whose blend of heartfelt storytelling and down-to-earth charm has earned him a loyal national following, returns with a collection set to prove he’s only getting better with time.

Produced by ARIA and Golden Guitar-winning producer Matt Fell, Lucky Stars is shaping up to be Swift’s most cohesive and confident release yet. Fans will already recognise a few of the album’s key tracks Hot Damn It’s Been a Minute, Nothing Better and Get Lost all of which have landed warmly with audiences and radio over the past year. But there’s even more on the horizon.

The next chapter of the album rollout begins next Friday, with the release of brand-new single See You at the Bottom, a track being teased by Swift in his recent live sets and one that’s no doubt set to become the next ear-worm for fans.

Known for his authenticity and catchy melodies, Swift has steadily built a reputation as one of the most consistent and compelling voices in Australian country. Lucky Stars is expected to offer a deeper look into both his personal journey and evolving sound.

Already the biggest year for Swift yet, in June he and his partner Simone Sordello welcomed their daughter Valentine into the world. Fittingly, the fifth track on the upcoming 11-song album is titled Oh Valentine, a heartfelt tribute to their baby girl. Not only is the song written for her, but it also features vocals from Sordello, making it one of the most intimate and emotional moments on the record.

To celebrate the album, Swift will be hitting the road later this year with his Lucky Stars National Tour. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the Swift scene, the new music and upcoming shows are a must.
