Timeless is the fourth solo studio album by Canadian country singer Dallas Smith, and was released through 604 Records on August 28, 2020. [1] [2]
Smith told Parton and Pearl after releasing The Fall, "I honestly just looked at that chunk of music as something individually". He then began to work on a second EP when he "got a sense of the record taking shape". Smith said "As far as a record and listening to it front to back I knew what was missing and how I wanted this chapter to be represented". [2]
While Smith recorded the vocals of the previously-released tracks in Nashville, Tennessee with longtime producer Joey Moi, restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic forced Smith to record vocals for the rest of the album at his home in Langley, British Columbia. [2] Smith said he hoped to release "timeless country music" in "uncertain times". [3]
The album contains twelve songs in total and includes all six songs from his previously released, Juno Award-nominated extended play, The Fall. [1] [4] Five singles: " Make 'Em Like You", [5] " Rhinestone World", [6] [7] " Drop", [8] " Timeless", [9] and " Like a Man" [10] were released prior to the album and each one reached number one on the Billboard Canada Country chart, breaking a record that Smith previously set for most number ones on a Canadian country album with his third album, Side Effects. [11] The album features collaborations with fellow Canadian country artists Dean Brody and MacKenzie Porter as well as American country rock artist Hardy. [4] The latter collaboration, " Some Things Never Change" was sent to country radio as the sixth single off the album, [12] and would extend Smith's record to six number one singles from the same album.
