Official Announcement | Published: Mar 06, 2026 3:27 PM EST

(Shore Fire Media) Hunter Hayes releases his 10-track album, Evergreen, along with the official visualizer for the title track, filmed at Cheekwood Estate & Gardens. In celebration of the album, on Monday, March 9, Hayes will perform the title track on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

"I wanted to make an imaginative album-not a reaction to the world around me, but rather a dream of the world I want to create," Hayes shares. "I want the music to feel like free therapy. Something that makes you feel better, more understood, more alive."

Evergreen completes a trilogy that began with Wild Blue and Red Sky, tracing a journey from optimism through conflict to resolution. Throughout the 10 tracks, Hayes weaves together threads of pop, country, folk, R&B, and indie rock, with lyrics that center on themes of renewal, self-discovery, compassion, and presence, not only as the foundation for a healthy relationship with himself, but also with the world, and others.

Hayes describes the album as "a letter from your future self," serving as an emotional reset and a statement of manifestation. Guided by his motto, "Be good to yourself and the world around you," Evergreen showcases Hayes at his most fully expressive artistic chapter yet.

Recorded with Co-Producer Alex Flagstad, Evergreen captures the full scope of Hayes' creativity with songs that are as emotionally rich as they are musically daring. Evergreen's additional myriad high points include "Until She Comes Along," a bluesy number that evolves into a fun rock tune that best represents Hayes's growth as a songwriter, the cinematic "Around the Sun" which serves as an affirmation to the listener that whatever you're going through, you're going to come out on the other side, the playfully vulnerable "Every Piece," the infectious "Wait," and the atmospheric, scene-setting title track.
