Chris Janson Readies Upcoming “Real Friends” Album With Release of Sweet New Video, “Done” [Watch]

Chris Janson will release this third studio album, Real Friends, on Oct. 18.

Buoyed by lead single, “Good Vibes,” which is currently No. 11 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart, Real Friends takes its name from Chris’ numerous cohorts that contributed to the album in the form of songwriters (Ashley Gorley, Rhett Akins, David Lee Murphy), producers (Tommy Cecil, Zach Crowell, Brock Berryhill), collaborators (Blake Shelton) and more.

Real Friends is my favorite album I’ve made yet, hands down,” says Chris. “I made Real Friends with actual real friends. I produced the album with real friends, wrote all the songs with real friends, took all the photos for the project with my best friend and wife, Kelly, and I also have a huge collaboration on this album with one of my favorite ‘Ole’ friends [Blake Shelton]! I’m more excited about music now than I have been in all of my career. Thank you to my fans, who truly are my real friends and helped me get where I am today.”

In addition to “Good Vibes,” Chris has released a few other songs from the upcoming album: “Waitin’ On 5,” “Say About Me” and newly released “Done,” which you can listen to below in the new video that features his wife.
