Sam Hunt

"I'm even uncomfortable with the word 'star.' "

He says he's "back" in every sense of the word.

It's going to be an exciting night!

The wait is finally over.

If his new song rings familiar, you're on the right path.

The singer is due to hand his next album in to his label on Jan. 1 -- but he says he's got a lot of work to do before then.

According to Hunt, the entire album should arrive sometime next year and offers both party-starters and introspective, R&B-inspired cuts.

The singer is delivering on his promise of new music with a song delivered at an intimate performance in Canada.

At one point he even hung from the stage scaffolding! 

Calling all you Sam Hunt stans ...

Finally!!

Sam Hunt certainly ascribes to the classic mantra, "write what you know."
