Always Like New
# Always Like New

Always Like New is the fourth solo studio album by American singer Jennifer Nettles. It was released on June 25, 2021, and is her first release under Concord Records. Taking inspiration from Broadway, the album consists of cover songs from Broadway plays and features arrangements by Alex Lacamoire.

Three singles were released from Always Like New, "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat", "Wait for It", and "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'".

## Background

   As a child who grew up in musical theatre, this album feels like a homecoming to me. I savored every note of singing and arranging these songs with Alex Lacamoire. It is thrilling to be able to celebrate this amazing songwriting with arrangements and vocals that allow them to be rediscovered anew.
