Country hitmaker Jo Dee Messina is back with new music and a major milestone. The chart-topping singer has announced ‘Bridges’, her first studio album in more than a decade, arriving this summer. The first single, “Some Bridges,” is out now and introduces the emotional foundation of the upcoming release.
Written with Kat Higgins and James T. Slater, “Some Bridges” delivers a reflective country sound built around Messina’s unmistakable voice. The track was mixed by five-time Grammy-winning producer and engineer Chris Lord-Alge, who previously worked on several of Messina’s biggest songs including the 1996 classic “Heads Carolina, Tails California.” The song carries a strong melodic pull while exploring the complicated choices that shape a life.
Messina describes ‘Bridges’ as a collection shaped by years of experience and perspective. “We are often told not to burn bridges, and it’s good advice,” she said. “I’ve lived long enough to know that’s true. But there are also exceptions, and sometimes it’s OK to let that baby burn. In life, sometimes we just need to look forward and keep going.”
