The Blade

Monroe s second Warner Bros. album is one of the year s most anticipated country records. The album was again produced by close friends Vince Gill and Justin Niebank, who helmed Monroe s Warner Music Nashville s debut, Like A Rose, one of 2013 s most celebrated releases. Monroe will share a new song with fans during a performance on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon on July 27th to celebrate The Blade s release.

I think every song on this record has an edge of some sort, Monroe told People. It cuts. That's why I thought The Blade was a perfect title.

Born in East Tennessee, Monroe has collaborated with countless artists and musicians, being a member of the Pistol Annies with Miranda Lambert, and recently earning her first No. 1 song at Country radio for Lonely Tonight, a duet with label-mate Blake Shelton, which earned the pair a CMT Music Award nomination for Collaborative Video of the Year.
