Chris Janson Announces Third Studio Album

"Real Friends" is due out October 18.

(Undated)  --  Chris Janson is getting ready to release his third studio album. 

Real Friends is due out on October 3rd. It features Janson's latest single, "Good Vibes." 

"Real Friends is my favorite album I’ve made yet, hands down,” Janson said. “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! 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.”

The award-winning songwriter has dropped two additional tracks - "Say About Me" and "Waitin' on 5" -   in advance of the album launch, with more to come.
