Vincent Mason, a name that's quickly becoming familiar to fans of contemporary country, has officially announced the release of his debut major label album, There I Go, set to hit shelves and streaming platforms on November 7, 2025. The announcement, made via Mason's Instagram on September 16, comes alongside the release of a brand-new single, "Days Are Numbered," which is now available for streaming. This track, co-written by Mason himself alongside Chase McDaniel, Jessie Jo Dillon, and Geoff Warburton, offers listeners a first taste of the deeply personal themes that run throughout the album.
According to ICLG, Mason describes There I Go as a project born from his experiences learning to live on the road. He reflects, "The album There I Go is me learning how to live on the road. 'Days Are Numbered' captures the two sides of the album and the tension that lies in between. There's the kid in me that wants to stay home, and the side of me that can't get enough of being out on the road playing shows. I thank God every day that I have the life that I do, and I wouldn't trade it. 'There I Go' is the through line that captures all the moments of my life since it changed last year."
It's a sentiment that resonates throughout the 14-track album, which Mason co-wrote almost in its entirety—he's credited as a songwriter on all but one song. The record, released through Interscope/MCA Nashville/Music Soup, weaves together the timeless craft of country storytelling with a distinctly modern edge. Harmonica and slide guitar textures are layered with heartfelt lyrics, creating a sound that's both familiar and fresh. As Music Soup notes, the album's production is a blend of traditional country instrumentation and contemporary polish, a combination that should appeal to both longtime country fans and new listeners.
"Days Are Numbered," the new single, is described by Music Soup as a "gritty anthem about the struggles and rewards of chasing a dream." Its lyrics and arrangement encapsulate the push and pull Mason feels between his longing for the comfort of home and the undeniable thrill of performing night after night. This duality is a thread that runs through the entire album, with songs exploring themes of love, heartbreak, resilience, and the fleeting joys that come with a life in motion.
The full tracklist for There I Go reveals a wide-ranging exploration of these themes. Standout titles include "Little Miss," "Sink or Swim," and "Hell Is a Dancefloor," each delving into different facets of love, loss, and personal growth. The record also features tracks like "Damned If I Do," "Old Flame," "She Loves Leaving," and "American Spirit," all co-written with a roster of acclaimed songwriters, including Jack Hummel, Ryan Beaver, Jared Keim, Devin Dawson, Hillary Lindsey, Geoff Warburton, Chris LaCorte, Erik Dylan, Jack Rauton, Randy Montana, Jaxson Free, Jessie Jo Dillon, Luke Laird, Abram Dean, Andy Albert, Zach Abend, Blake Pendergrass, and more.
Mason's commitment to authentic storytelling is evident not only in the lyrics but also in the album's sonic palette. The harmonica-soaked melodies and midnight musings on slide guitar, as described by ICLG, evoke the classic sounds of country while pushing into new territory. It's a coming-of-age soundtrack for a generation that finds itself constantly on the move, searching for meaning in both the everyday and the extraordinary.
The journey to There I Go has been a busy one for Mason. Over the summer of 2025, he took to the road as an opening act for some of country music's biggest names, including Riley Green, Luke Bryan, and Parker McCollum. These high-profile gigs not only introduced Mason to a wider audience but also gave him firsthand experience with the highs and lows of touring life—a subject that clearly informs much of his new material.
This fall, Mason will join Jordan Davis on a major U.S. tour, with stops at some of the country's most iconic venues. Fans can catch him live at The Greek in Los Angeles, Radio City Music Hall in New York, and Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado. These shows mark a significant milestone in Mason's career, signaling his arrival as a major new voice in country music. As ICLG points out, sharing the stage with such established acts is both an honor and a challenge, one that Mason seems more than ready to meet.
For those eager to hear the full album, pre-orders and pre-saves are already available, as reported by Music Soup. The anticipation is palpable, with fans and critics alike curious to see how Mason's blend of old-school storytelling and modern production will resonate in a genre that's constantly evolving. Early reactions to "Days Are Numbered" suggest that Mason has struck a chord, delivering a song that's both deeply personal and universally relatable.
Mason's reflections on his journey are refreshingly candid. He admits, "I was always a kid who liked to be very still. My favorite question growing up was always 'When can we go home?' I've really been that way my whole life. Last year I put out a song called 'Hell is a Dance Floor' and since then I haven't really been home at all." It's this honesty—about the sacrifices, the longing, and the joy of pursuing a dream—that sets Mason apart from many of his peers.
The album's narrative arc, from the restless energy of the opening tracks to the bittersweet introspection of its closer, "Good Run (worktape)," offers listeners a window into Mason's world. It's a story of growth, of learning to balance competing desires, and of finding one's place amid the chaos of modern life. As Music Soup notes, the record is as much about the journey as it is about the destination.
With There I Go, Vincent Mason is poised to make a significant impact on the country music landscape. His ability to fuse classic influences with contemporary sounds, all while maintaining a deeply personal voice, marks him as an artist to watch. As he prepares to take the stage alongside some of the genre's biggest stars, fans can expect a performance—and an album—that's as heartfelt as it is hard-hitting.
For Mason, the road ahead is wide open. And if "Days Are Numbered" is any indication, he's ready to embrace every twist and turn it brings.
