Timeless (Dallas Smith album)
2020 studio album by Dallas Smith
Timeless is the fourth solo studio album by Canadian country singer Dallas Smith , and was released through 604 Records on August 28, 2020.[ 1] [ 2]
Background
Smith told Parton and Pearl after releasing The Fall , "I honestly just looked at that chunk of music as something individually". He then began to work on a second EP when he "got a sense of the record taking shape". Smith said "As far as a record and listening to it front to back I knew what was missing and how I wanted this chapter to be represented".[ 2]
While Smith recorded the vocals of the previously-released tracks in Nashville, Tennessee with longtime producer Joey Moi , restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic forced Smith to record vocals for the rest of the album at his home in Langley, British Columbia .[ 2] Smith said he hoped to release "timeless country music" in "uncertain times".[ 3]
Content
The album contains twelve songs in total and includes all six songs from his previously released, Juno Award -nominated extended play, The Fall .[ 1] [ 4] Five singles: "Make 'Em Like You ",[ 5] "Rhinestone World ",[ 6] [ 7] "Drop ",[ 8] "Timeless ",[ 9] and "Like a Man "[ 10] were released prior to the album and each one reached number one on the Billboard Canada Country chart, breaking a record that Smith previously set for most number ones on a Canadian country album with his third album, Side Effects .[ 11] The album features collaborations with fellow Canadian country artists Dean Brody and MacKenzie Porter as well as American country rock artist Hardy .[ 4] The latter collaboration, "Some Things Never Change " was sent to country radio as the sixth single off the album,[ 12] and would extend Smith's record to six number one singles from the same album.[ 13]
