Jade Eagleson is the self-titled, debut studio album by Canadian country music artist Jade Eagleson.[2] It was released on July 24, 2020 through Universal Music Canada.[3] [4] The album includes the #1 Canada Country hit "Lucky",[5] the Platinum-certified hits "Got Your Name on It"[6] and "Count the Ways",[7] as well as "Close".[8] It was the most globally-streamed debut album for a Canadian country artist of all-time.[9]

Background

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, most artists were unable to release an album and support it with a tour. Despite this, Eagleson decided to release his debut album regardless, saying that the fans were "already losing out on so much with live shows not being around… It’s kind of a gift to [them]".[10] Eagleson remarked that he felt "lucky" to have been able to record songs co-written by Chris Stapleton and Brad Rempel of High Valley on this album, while he co-wrote the other 8 tracks himself.[10]

Critical reception

Joshua Murray and Trish Cassling of The Reviews Are In referred to the album as a "good country music listen" adding that listeners can "celebrate [it] as part of the next wave of talent coming from north of the border".[10] Kim Hughes of Parton and Pearl stated that the album "cements [Eagleson's] status" as the "heir apparent" in "authentic country music".[11]
