Tauren Wells has released his bold new album, Joy In The Morning today. From the funky bounce of lead single “Fake It” to the R&B swing of “Breath Away” to the soaring piano ballad “Empty,” he’s redefining his musical lane in real time. Listen to it now below.
Wells will celebrate the album’s release with an appearance at the GRAMMY Museum L.A. Live on June 13th – part of “The Drop” series – and a performance during the 8:00 AM hour of “Good Morning America” on Wednesday, June 15. He was recently nominated for a 2022 BET Award for his duet with H.E.R., “Hold Us Together (Hope Mix).”
He will be hitting the road this fall, with special guests Aaron Cole and Lakewood Music as support. Tickets are available HERE. All dates are listed below.
Joy In The Morning is Wells’ third album and first for Capitol Records/CCMG. While the title captures the brightness that comes with the dawn, the songs capture the wide range of human experience. “Throughout the sessions, I was thinking, ‘How many people can I encourage with this album?’” he recalls. “You can consider the pain. Consider the disappointments. Consider the dreams. And now, all of a sudden, you have a soundtrack that helps sooth the wounds or awaken the dreamer,” he adds.
