Brett Eldredge announced he will release this upcoming fifth studio album, Sunday Drive, on July 10.

Produced by Daniel Tashian and Ian Fitchuk, Sunday Drive was recorded at Shirk Studios in Chicago. The new album is available for pre-order now, with immediate access to three new tracks that Brett co-penned: “Crowd My Mind,” “Where the Heart Is” and lead single “Gabrielle.”

Brett co-wrote the piano-driven lead single with Daniel and Ian. “Gabrielle” will ship to country radio on April 27.

“‘Gabrielle’ is about a love that didn’t quite work out and you always wonder what it could have been,” says Brett. “It could’ve ended up being something amazing and you wonder what they’re doing in their life right now and go back to those feelings when you hear the song.”

Sunday Drive will follow Brett’s 2017 self-titled album, which featured Top 5 hits “The Long Way” and “Love Someone.”

Listen to “Gabrielle” below.
