Where I’ve Been Isn’t Where I’m Going

Shaboozey Is On Heartbreak’s ‘Highway’ And His Cinematic Video Shows How Winding The Road Is

by

Rising country music star Shaboozey‘s chart-topping hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” encouraged everyone to raise a glass. But, beyond the foot-stomping smash lies a gut-wrenching tale of loss.

On his latest Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going single “Highway,” the heartbreak is hard to escape. In the official video for the song, Shaboozey shows just how winding that devastating road is.

Director Aiden Cullen turns that sorrow into a cinematic journey for all to accompany the musician on. As Shaboozey makes his way through the country’s back roads, loneliness is his only champion. As he sings, “Gave me your heart, gave you heartbreak / Sorry I’m lost in this dark place / Somehow I’ll make it to Sunday / I promise I’ll be coming back / I might die on the highway / With all my regrets / I’ve been driving for miles and miles and miles / I can’t see where it ends,” the gloomy environment paired with his risky outlaw behavior helps to cement the fantasy.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” gave fans something to pour one out for whereas “Highway” tells you why the bottle has become his best friend.

Shaboozey’s Jolly ‘Drink Don’t Need No Mix’ Video With BigXthaPlug Captures The Debauchery Of A Whiskey-Filled Night

by

Shaboozey and BigXthaPlug take over a dive bar for some drunken shenanigans in their “Drink Don’t Need No Mix” video. The video captures the debauchery as Shaboozey shoots pool and double fists a glass and a bottle of Jack Daniel’s. Bar fights, body shots, and borderline flashing punctuate the hedonistic action. It all looks like a fun night out and one humongous headache the next morning for at least one patron — but not Shaboozey, who departs with a pair of companions and a big grin at the camera.

“Drink Don’t Need No Mix” appears on Shaboozey’s new album Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, which came out in May, punctuating the genre-jumping Nigerian Virginian’s precipitous rise to stardom over the past year. After appearing twice on Beyoncé’s personal Great American Songbook, Cowboy Carter, he released the J-Kwon homage “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” jumping to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 (and launching J-Kwon back into the limelight, incidentally).

In September, Shaboozey heads out on tour in support of the new album after playing Outside Lands festival in August. It’s safe to say he’s got plenty to celebrate; let’s just hope he drinks responsibly.

Shaboozey Releases Highly Anticipated Album 'Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going'

Country music’s rising star Shaboozey has unveiled his eagerly awaited album, Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, via EMPIRE. The album’s single, “My Fault” featuring Noah Cyrus, showcases a stunning blend of their strong vocals harmonizing over an intricate acoustic guitar melody.

“This album means the world to me, it’s a reflection of my journey and the stories that shaped me,” said Shaboozey. “Growing up in Virginia, music was our way of speaking truths and finding joy, and I tried to capture that in every track. It’s a blend of all my experiences, the highs, the lows, and everything in between. I hope when y’all listen, you feel that same connection and authenticity. It’s not just an album, it’s a piece of my soul, and I’m grateful to share it with you.”

The album boasts collaborations with notable artists Paul Cauthen, Noah Cyrus, and BigXthaPlug. Shaboozey’s star continues to rise as he cements his place in mainstream culture. His latest anthem, “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” certified platinum by the RIAA, currently sits at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and previously peaked at #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Chart. This milestone makes Shaboozey and Beyoncé the first two Black artists to lead the chart with back-to-back #1 songs. “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” has amassed over 300 million streams and achieved Top 10 status in several countries, including #1 spots in Canada, Sweden, Denmark, and the UK’s Big 40.

Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going marks Shaboozey’s most ambitious work to date. The Virginia-bred singer/songwriter takes listeners on a cinematic road trip through the American West, bringing depth to his storytelling while further exploring the country/folk-inspired sound. The album includes streaming juggernaut and critically acclaimed singles “Let It Burn,” the haunting heartbreak track “Anabelle,” and the sing-along ready “Vegas,” all of which have given fans a taste of the highly awaited project.

With this album, Shaboozey solidifies his position as a singular new voice in the music scene, promising universal acclaim and a significant impact on the country music landscape.

In Shaboozey’s two-minute album trailer for Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, a man is all alone in the country, except, try as he might, he can’t comically escape Shaboozey’s omnipresence. Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is on every radio. A flyer for a Shaboozey tour is on the post. There’s Shaboozey again, photographed in the newspaper. Finally, Shaboozey shows up in the flesh and politely waves at the man, who is likely the only person not looking forward to a Shaboozey album.

Shaboozey is ten years deep in the music game, but 2024 is undeniable his breakout year. The Virginia-born country artist gained countless new fans as a featured artist on Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter.

So, Shaboozey is primed to have one of the most popular albums of the year in Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going.

Shaboozey’s New Album ‘Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going’: Everything To Know, Including The Release Date, Tracklist & More

by

Shaboozey can already chalk 2024 in the win column. The Virginia-bred genre-bending country artist was featured twice on Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter album. “SPAGHETII” with Linda Martell and “SWEET HONEY BUCKIN’” peaked at No. 31 and No. 61 on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively, but Shaboozey’s highest-career Hot 100 mark was earned solo. Shaboozey’s dropped “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” in mid-April, and since then, the unfairly catchy single peaked at No. 3 on the Hot 100, spent three weeks at No. 1 on Country Streaming Songs, and inched toward the top of several other Billboard charts.

It all set the stage for Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going. Find everything you need to know about Shaboozey’s upcoming album below.
