ناشفيل، تينيسي. – With today’s release of his highly anticipated debut album ما لا يجب فعله, country’s hottest rising star تاكر ويتمور steps into the spotlight with a 19-track collection that’s already earning praise from fans and critics alike. Produced by Chris LaCorte and featuring 11 tracks co-written by Wetmore, the album showcases his dynamic range and cements his arrival as one of the genre’s most exciting new voices.
استمع: WHAT NOT TO
“This album holds the lessons I have learned, am still learning, and knowing me… a few I’ll need to re-learn along the way,” admits Wetmore. “I’ve spent my life learning what not to do, and – thanks to you – I’ve had the opportunity to turn some of those experiences into songs. Thanks for getting on this wild ride with me. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. I love you all.”
Outfitted with everything from radio-ready anthems to moments of real depth and vulnerability, ما لا يجب فعله captures the highs, lows and hard-earned lessons in Wetmore’s 25 years. Standouts include the viral sensation “Brunette,” a clever, fast-faced breakup track layered with introspection, fan-favorite “Drinkin’ Boots" and the emotional centerpiece and album’s namesake, “What Not To.” The title track threads themes of struggle, growth and redemption as it finds Wetmore not claiming to have the blueprint for being a better man, but knowing what he doesn’t want to carry forward. The record spans from late-night ready swagger (“Bad Luck Looks Good On Me”) to reflective slow burns (“Goodbye Whiskey”), showing Wetmore’s expansive range as both a performer and storyteller.
The album has already earned widespread critical acclaim, with لوحة الإعلانات declaring it is “poised to be a star-maker” for the “hit-making machine.” ذا تينيسيان adds that “he’s built differently,” noting the emergence of what could become “an early career hallmark as a to-the-point storyteller.” هولر backs the claim of Wetmore’s writing potential: “with this kind of promise, there is no telling where a storyteller of this caliber will go next,” while كاتب الأغاني الأمريكي hails the album “will surely make a statement. A statement articulating who he is as an artist and person, and a statement articulating that he is here to stay.”
To mark the milestone, Wetmore will make his late night television debut onABC’s جيمي كيميل لايف! on Tuesday, April 29. He’ll perform his high-energy new track “Bad Luck Looks Good On Me” just days after his album’s release.
