Sam Hunt Explains Long Gaps Between Albums Due To Disorganization

Sam Hunt revealed why he takes years between album releases during a Taste of Country Nights podcast appearance. Hunt, who has scored 11 number-one hits across just two albums, blamed poor organization for delays. "I would tell my younger self to organize my work life in a better way so that I can be more productive," Hunt said. "I think that has cost me time, and I could have more music out." The singer admitted having "songs scattered all over the country" after losing phones and notebooks containing years of work. Hunt also struggles completing songs, explaining it takes four to five years to move tracks "from the notebook to the studio." His debut album Montevallo arrived in 2014, followed by Southside six years later in 2020. Despite recently organizing his cloud storage system, Hunt hasn't indicated when fans might expect new material.
