CJ Solar has been waiting his entire career – maybe his entire life – for today, as this is the day his first full-length album, The Future’s Neon, is available. Produced by CJ with Nick Gibbens, the nine-song collection on Raining Bacon Records includes the current radio hit, “All I Can Think About Lately,” which was recently featured in Billboard.

CJ kicked off the week packing out Nashville’s famed 3rd & Lindsley for his The Future’s Neon album release concert. He appeared on the popular Coffee, Country & Cody radio show, which can be heard on WSM-AM and viewed nationwide on CIRCLE. Tonight, he will make a return appearance on the legendary Grand Ole Opry.

“After releasing three EPs, I’m so excited for my first full-length album,” said CJ of The Future’s Neon. “Most of these songs were written during 2020, but a few have been favorites that were on hold in the past and slipped through cracks, so I’m glad to give them a voice. The project feels like a mixture of all of my influences, and I’m really proud of the whole thing!”

CJ co-wrote all nine tracks and partnered with Devon Barker, Kenton Bryant, Bart Butler, Frankie Courtney, Corey Crowder, Jackson Dean, Bob DiPiero, Aaron Eshius, Jeff Garrison, Blake Griffith, Michael Hardy (HARDY), Joey Hyde, Lynn Hutton, Jason Lehning, Jim McCormick, Billy Montana, and Lydia Vaughan on the songs.

Prior to a recent sold-out appearance at Baton Rouge’s Texas Club, visual artists Jacob Zumo and David “DLo” Losavio presented CJ with a painting celebrating his upcoming album release, The Future’s Neon. The creation is split into four distinct quadrants, reflecting the retro and current interpretations of Solar’s music. Zumo’s style of the painting in “realism” conjures up the old, while DLo’s colorful pop style connects with the new. A limited edition of 50 prints, signed and numbered by the two artists and CJ, available on CJ’s website HERE.  

As an artist, CJ has released three EPs yielding the Top 15 hits “American Girls” and “Airplane” and the Top 10 “Coming My Way” and garnered over five million overall streams. He received the MusicRow Independent Artist of the Year Award in 2019. He tours coast-to-coast headlining his own dates and opening for the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd, 38 Special, Gary Allan, Chris Janson, Hank Jr, Aaron Watson and others.

CJ recently signed an exclusive writing agreement with Edgehill Music Publishing in Nashville. A native of Baton Rouge and Belmont University graduate, Solar has penned #1 singles for Morgan Wallen (“Up Down” featuring Florida Georgia Line) and Jameson Rodgers (“Some Girls”). He won ASCAP Awards for both songs and also co-wrote Jason Aldean’s “I Don’t Drink Anymore,” Justin Moore’s “Between You & Me,” Jerrod Niemann’s “The Regulars” and Top 30 “Blue Bandana” and more.
