Alabama-born recording artist Yelawolf releases his second full-length major-label album, entitled Love Story, today on Slumerican/Shady Records/Interscope.
Love Story was recorded largely at Nashville’s Blackbird Studio with executive producer Eminem and various other producers including Malay and Yelawolf’s longtime collaborator WLPWR. Yelawolf describes the album as “more passionate” than his previous projects, which include his 2011 debut Radioactive and two 2013 mixtapes, Black Fall and Trunk Muzik Returns. “I’m telling the truth about a lot of things,” he says of Love Story. “I try to be as honest as I can with everything I do.”
A number of tracks from Love Story have already been released, including “Box Chevy V,” “Till It’s Gone,” which premiered on the season premiere for the final season of Sons Of Anarchy, and the current single, “American You.” Watch the Mike Mahail directed video for “American You” HERE. The acoustic guitar-driven “Till It’s Gone” earned raves and its video has racked up more than 10 million views on YouTube. Watch it HERE. Yelawolf continued his streak with the follow-up “Whiskey In A Bottle.” Watch that video HERE. Last week, Yelawolf posted another track, “Best Friend,” featuring Eminem, on YouTube. Listen HERE.
