Kelly Lang has a new single out and a full album on the way. The singer-songwriter, producer, and author releases “I Reach For Red,” the first taste of her upcoming album ‘Jealous Green Eyes’, sponsored by Gus Arrendale and Springer Mountain Farms. The video premiered via Dillon Weldon and Drifting Cowboy, and the track announces a new chapter with real confidence.
Lang wrote the song years ago in a hotel room in Jackson, Tennessee, finishing it in about 30 minutes. “It was inspired by a woman I knew who loved her red wine, and I figured there were probably plenty of others who could relate,” she says. The track nods to the distinctive 1980s country sound of artists like K.T. Oslin, landing somewhere between knowing and playful, the kind of song that earns its smile.
‘Jealous Green Eyes’ marks Lang’s first album made up entirely of songs she wrote or co-wrote since 2017. The eleven-track collection covers life, love, heartbreak, and divorce with her signature storytelling directness. There may also be a surprise answer song to one of country music’s most iconic hits by a legendary artist she happens to be married to, a detail that makes the project even harder to ignore.
Additional singles roll out through spring and summer ahead of the album’s official release date, to be announced soon. “I Reach For Red” gives listeners exactly what Lang promises: a grown-up, well-crafted preview of what is coming.
