Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter, producer and guitarist Patrick Droney announced his new album, Made You Look, due out this summer.

The album, which will be released on July 24, was announced alongside the unveiling of the uplifting and infectious track, “Back In My Body,” via Warner Records. Described as his first radio-ready single, the song was written while Droney was sequestered alone in an attic with only his thoughts and guitar. On the track, he channels a rediscovery of self through the kind of clarity only perspective and time can bring.
According to a release, the album — which features collaborations with six-time Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Kelsea Ballerini on the heartfelt ballad “Math of Us,” as well as a team of co-producers — embodies “the epiphanies that so often emerge in the seemingly mundane.”
The project was produced largely in Nashville alongside Konrad Snyder (Kacey Musgraves, Noah Kahan). It also features contributions from producers Collin Pastore & Jake Finch (Boygenius, Lucy Dacus), drummer Bryan Devendorf (The National), and string arranger Davide Rossi (Coldplay, Alicia Keys, The Verve). The album was mixed by Jon Low (Taylor Swift, Gracie Abrams, The National).
To kick off the album, Droney is also making sold-out concert stops in Nashville, Los Angeles and New York.
Of the 12-track album, Droney says:
“I wanted to get extremely intimate with the lyrics. There was no way I couldn’t go there musically and artistically at this time in my life. I wanted people to look with me. Not at me.”
