About to Get Real is the third studio album by American country music artist Easton Corbin. It was released on June 30, 2015 via Mercury Nashville. [2] It includes the singles " Clockwork", " Baby Be My Love Song". and " Yup". [3] It also includes " Are You with Me" from Corbin's previous album, All Over the Road. [4] The album was produced by Carson Chamberlain. [5]
About the album, Corbin said, "When deciding on an album title, About to Get Real just says it all for me. When country fans listen to this album, I want them to take away that even though the music mixes the modern with the classic, it's entirely real. Like the music of my heroes, it's the real deal." [6] The album's track listing was announced on June 9. [7]
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5 and wrote that "No matter what the album title implies – "real" usually conveys grit, a quality conspicuously absent from these 12 songs – About to Get Real is so smooth it sometimes suggests the glory days of Urban Cowboy, when modern country flirted heavily with the soft rock mainstream." [1]
The album debuted at No. 1 on the Top Country Albums chart, and No. 13 on the Billboard 200, with 20,000 copies sold in the US in its first week. [8] The album has sold 59,800 copies in the US as of May 2016. [9]
