Martina McBride to Release New Album on August 23

Martina McBride will release her new album on August 23, 2011. The singer informed fans of the release date for her so-far untitled 11th studio effort during a special live streaming video chat on Thursday afternoon.

"August 23 is the magic day," McBride announced excitedly, and then went on to explain why she's so pleased with the record. "I think it shows a few different sides of me. I wrote a lot of songs for this album and was just able to really tap into some fun things, and there’s a couple romantic songs. I think it’s gonna show you a more personal side of me and a more well-rounded side of me as an artist."

As for the album's current nameless status? “We haven’t come up with an album title yet. Album titles are very hard –- [you need] something catchy but something that's cool yet something that sums up the whole album’s feel … haven’t really gotten that far yet. We’ll have to start working on that soon.”

McBride also revealed that she'll shoot the video for her current single 'Teenage Daughters' this week with the help of director Roman White. "We’ve got a great idea, and I can’t tell you what it is because it would spoil the surprise. You’ll see me in a whole different way then you’ve ever seen me before. We’re shooting it this coming Tuesday, and we’re gonna turn it around just as fast as we can to get it out to you guys."
