Country music artist Kenny Chesney is preparing to release his 21st studio album, ‘Silver Sands Marina’, on September 25 under HEY NOW Records. The 11-song collection features collaborations with Lily Meola, Colbie Caillat, and Megan Moroney. Chesney noted that Moroney was chosen for the duet ‘It Just Got Weird’ due to the “unique angst and energy in her voice”, noting the two developed a friendship during the 2024 Sun Goes Down Tour.

Chesney announced that the single ‘Goldfish’ would be released on August 28. To support the track, Chesney and his band filmed a music video in Maui, Hawaii, a location chosen to complement the song’s Hawaiian steel guitar. The video’s creative direction was described as “carefree and innocent”, featuring the band in custom Western suits.

Regarding the track ‘Goldfish’, songwriter Tenille Townes reportedly drew inspiration from the Apple TV series ‘Ted Lasso’. The song utilizes the show’s advice to ‘be a goldfish’, a metaphor for maintaining a short memory to move past heartbreak or mistakes.
