On Feb. 22, Reba McEntire shared a new song, “No U in Oklahoma,” from her upcoming album, Stronger Than the Truth, which will drop on April 5.

Penned by Reba, Ronnie Dunn and Donna McSpadden, “No U in Oklahoma,” is one of 12 tracks from the upcoming album, Reba’s first since her 2017 Grammy-winning Christian album, Sing It Now: Songs of Faith & Hope.

Reba released the album’s title track on Feb. 15.

“The response to Sing It Now: Songs of Faith & Hope reinforced my love for recording songs that speak to the heart,” says Reba. “So when I started selecting songs for this album, I stuck with that same formula—go with the songs that touch my heart, and hopefully when you hear me singing it, they’ll touch yours too. That honesty once again revealed itself. I grew up on an 8,000-acre family ranch singing at dance halls, honky-tonks and rodeos with my brother and sister. Stronger Than the Truth takes me back to that kind of country music that I grew up with. I haven’t gotten to do that in a while, so I’m thrilled to pieces to release this new music.”
