Thomas Rhett is working on his sophomore album and he says, “We’re in full force. We’re already recording the new record and it’s gonna be fun.” It’s been just a little over a year since Thomas released his debut album but he says, “I think every artist, once you get done with a record you immediately want to start making the next one because by the time the rest of the world has heard the songs, you’ve heard them about 500,000 times too many.”
So far Thomas has the good problem of having too many songs to choose from for his next project. He says, “We’re in one of those positions where we have so many songs that we’re trying to figure out which one of the hundred we have on hold do we actually want to put on the record and which ones are gonna represent me in this new phase of music life, if you will.”
Thomas’ latest single, “Make Me Wanna” is the last song he’ll release off his debut album before bringing new music to his fans in 2015.

Thomas Rhett – next album in the works :36
“We’re in full force. We’re already recording the new record and it’s gonna be fun. I think every artist, once you get done with a record you immediately want to start making the next one because by the time the rest of the world has heard the songs, you’ve heard them about 500,000 times too many. And you know, I’ve been playing these songs for a long time and I’ve been writing so many songs and we’re in the studio now trying to figure out what kind of direction we want to head in and what songs we do want to cut. We’re in one of those positions where we have so many songs that we’re trying to figure out which one of the hundred we have on hold do we actually want to put on the record and which ones are gonna represent me in this new phase of music life, if you will.”
