One of Australia’s favourite singer/songwriters Kip Moore announced his biggest and most ambitious album to date, Solitary Tracks will be released on February 28th through his new label Virgin Music Group.
This the sixth studio album from Moore and will feature a whopping 23 songs split over four sides, a resonant piece of work from the beginning to the very end. Alongside the announcement of the forthcoming album, Moore also shared the official video for the new song Bad Spot, a dreamy, piano-led confession that reveals a weathered soul finally growing up.
“I’m never going to cheat by just trying to write what I think people want to hear, or hold onto a sound that worked for me,” stated Moore. “I’m going to always be authentic with myself, with every record, and all I ever hope is that people find a little solace. This project is a journey in itself, so I hope it helps people navigate their own life.”

Moore kicked off the first taste of this album with Live Here to Work, his first new song in nearly two years. It was timed perfectly, dropping weeks before his Australian arena tour back in October of 2024 so Australian fans got a glimpse of the exciting next chapter and new song live.
Not long after that single, Moore followed up with the gritty anthem Learning As I Go, before doubling down with the heartfelt Flowers in December paired with the slow-burning surprise second track Wildfire. It’s safe to say, Kip Moore is here not here to play.
With an established reputation and a global platform to match, Kip has emerged as one of the premiere country artists whose international footprint is just as, if not deeper than his stateside base. Built by years of slow, painstaking effort and tireless touring and as a result, it earned him the 2024 CMA International Artist Achievement Award.
Embracing his lifelong drive to break new ground, the expansive Solitary Tracks is like nothing Moore has ever done. It’s an album of intensity on all levels; vocally, lyrically, and sonically, as Moore focuses his incisive pen inward.
Solitary Tracks is co-produced by Moore with Jaren Johnston and additional production by Oscar Charles and Jay Joyce. The first half of the record characterises a deep-feeling acknowledgement of his solitary place, while its second part is the start of a new phase. Together, they wrap a defiant sense of personal growth in a raw, roots-and-soul bound package.
“There’s no pattern you have to follow, and sometimes you gotta gamble on yourself,” he continued. “You gotta be bold enough to trust your gut, and willing to roll those dice if you believe in something."
