BILLBOARD: JASON ALDEAN DISCUSSES NEW ALBUM, LIFE AND CAREER
Billboard sat down with Jason Aldean to discuss his new album, inspiration, politics, and more.
“Aldean has a track record of success with duets, noting chart leaders including ‘Don’t You Wanna Stay’ with Kelly Clarkson, ‘Drowns The Whiskey’ with Miranda Lambert, and ‘The Only Way I Know’ with Luke Bryan and Eric Church. He recently added to that tally with the three-week No. 1 Billboard Country Airplay hit ‘If I Didn’t Love You’ with Carrie Underwood. The song also earned a Grammy nomination, and ACM Award and CMT Music Awards wins, and is nominated for top country song at the Billboard Music Awards on May 15.
“‘When I heard that song, I felt like there was something different,’ he says. ‘That one was undeniable. My biggest concern was if we could get [Carrie] on the song. You never know if she’s getting ready to drop a new single or album, and that gets hung up sometimes between labels. It just came along at the right time. And she, of course, knocked it out of the park.'”
