Darius Rucker hasn't put out a new album since 2023's Carolyn's Boy, but there's new music on the way, he revealed at the recent #1 party for Scotty McCreery and Hootie & the Blowfish's "Bottle Rockets."
"I['ve] got a single coming out soon, as soon as we figure out what it is," he told reporters. "We have a couple of songs we love. So we're trying to figure out which one [will be first], how we're gonna go one and two."
Scotty and Darius share a producer, which led to the American Idol winner accidentally revealing the Hootie frontman — who's been living in London of late — has been in the legendary studio associated with The Beatles.
"Frank [Rogers] and I recorded some stuff at Abbey Road, and it was great," Darius confirmed, before going on to answer a question about his October 2025 engagement to Emily Deahl.
"I'll be married probably by the end of the year," he said. "We're just gonna do it. We're not gonna have a big thing. We're just gonna go do it. So I'm sure by the end of the year, I'll be married."
