Rob Thomas announces 'All Night Days'

Randall Slavin, Universal Records

The solo album drops on September 5th

On his sixth solo album, All Night Days, multi-platinum singer-songwriter Rob Thomas continues to craft songs about living life to the fullest, even if those “All Night Days” come less often than they used to. Produced by Gregg Wattenberg (John Legend, Goo Goo Dolls) and Grant Michaels, this record is as fitting a soundtrack for Saturday night, as much as it is for Sunday morning. The album marks his first release in partnership with Universal Records and will be available on all platforms September 5th. To kick off the album, the Matchbox Twenty frontman shares two tracks that showcase dual sides of the album — the sunny and swaggering lead focus single “Hard To Be Happy,” paired with the intimate acoustic b-side “Thrill Me.”

"I wanted to write a song that felt happy. More than ever, we live in a time where personal and mental wellness can become a focus in your life. For that to happen, it needs to be acceptable to say, ‘I’m not happy right now; I don’t feel comfortable in my own skin.’ The song itself is very no-filler. It shows, ‘It’s alright to be unhappy,’ but it’s wrapped up in a happy tune. The message is, ‘I’m going to be fine, but leave me alone for this second!'" Thomas shares.

This summer, Thomas will embark on an extensive headlining tour with dates in the US, Australia, and New Zealand, marking his first full tour since Matchbox Twenty’s wildly successful Slow Dream Tour, and his first headlining tour since 2019’s Chip Tooth Tour. The run promises to deliver the captivating live performances that Thomas is known for, featuring a blend of his chart-topping solo hits such as "Lonely No More," "This Is How A Heart Breaks," “Her Diamonds,” "Little Wonders," and “Street Corner Symphony,” not to mention the iconic collaboration with Santana, "Smooth,” alongside tracks from Matchbox Twenty’s extensive catalog, like “3 AM,” “If You're Gone,” and “Unwell.” Fans can also look forward to hearing his new single, “Hard To Be Happy,” and more.
