Stages (stylized in all lowercase) is the second studio album by American country music singer and songwriter Cassadee Pope, released on February 1, 2019, through Awake Music.[1] Pope co-wrote 7 of the 11 tracks on the album produced by Corey Crowder.
About writing and recording for the new album, Pope stated: "I really don’t know how I would have moved on with my life without this album. In the past, I made records I thought everyone could relate to. This time, I didn’t think about that at all. I wanted to tell a story of my truths and perspective on how I approached life in hopes that the messages reach someone who may need help in their own stumble."[2]
Guest vocals are provided by Shay Mooney (of Dan + Shay) on "If My Heart Had a Heart" and RaeLynn, Lauren Alaina, and Lindsay Ell on "Distracted."[3]
On November 30, 2018, Pope was announced as the headliner during the CMT Next Women of Country Tour with guests Clare Dunn and Hannah Ellis starting in April 2019.[4] On January 17, 2019, Pope announced she would be joining the US leg of country singer Maren Morris' GIRL: The World Tour as a supporting act to promote her album.[5]
As of February 2019 the album has sold 2,300 copies in the US.[6]
