Shaboozey’s 2025 Comeback: New Album, F1 Car Collab & Record Label Journey

In 2025, Shaboozey is taking the music world by storm with new music, a fashion and motorsport collaboration, and his record label, all the while remaining his authentic self and pushing creativity. The multi-platinum artist, widely known for his record breaking hit "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" is now exploring deeper issues with a Western concept album based on femininity, collaborating with Formula 1, and mentoring new artists under American Dogwood.

Shaboozey’s New Feminism Album: A Western Concept Story

Shaboozey has stated that his next album will be a conceptual album about femininity, and described it as “a Western concept album about femininity." It is a drastic flip of the switch from the party vibe of “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” to something much more contemplative and narrative. He even admitted to Billboard in a few interviews, “I probably shouldn’t have told you that,” indicating just how gleeful and maybe a little scared he is about unveiling this next chapter. The album is almost done, and he is still arranging the order of songs and adding new songs, which shows a lot of dedication to the project. According to Shaboozey, the album will have a refreshing combination of his own unique blend of country, folk, and hip-hop, but it is infused with a more profound emotional context and storytelling that celebrates women's strength and stories. 

Shaboozey Designs F1 Car With Cash App For US Grand Prix

In a remarkable confluence of music and motorsport, Shaboozey conceived a special tortoiseshell livery for a car of the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls Formula 1 team at the 2025 United States Grand Prix in Austin. Having worked on the Cash App Tortoise Card in April, Shaboozey's livery was inspired by this launch, featuring a dramatic pearlescent black and amber pattern. But this wasn't just a paint job; it was a cultural moment with the drivers' race suits, team gear, and a limited-edition replica kit for fans all sporting Shaboozey's design. Shaboozey also starred in a configurated short film with comedian Caleb Pressley. filmed while filming SNL's Weekend Update and filling 'diner-themed' advertising, featuring debts not just in the brand of the tortoise but also highlighting the costs and ease of use. In many ways, it shows how Shaboozey uses his credentials to assimilate music, fashion, finance, and motor racing speeds.

American Dogwood: Shaboozey’s New Record Label Launch

As a music executive, Shaboozey has taken an important first step by opening a record label, American Dogwood, as part of a collaboration with EMPIRE. The goal of the label is to showcase genre-defying artists in the Mid-Atlantic area—particularly Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina—which Shaboozey feels gets ignored by the larger music community. The first signing to the label is a Raleigh, North Carolina-raised singer-songwriter based in Nashville named Kevin Powers. His sound is identified as “Southern Pop,” a mix of country, pop, and hip-hop styles. He is known for his co-write in the hit song “Amen” with Shaboozey and Jelly Roll (the song has over 50 million streams). To celebrate the launch of American Dogwood, Shaboozey and Kevin Powers decided to release a new single called “Move On” in late September 2025. Kevin Powers joined Shaboozey's “Great American Road Show” tour as an opening act, and will be part of the full show throughout the tour.

Shaboozey’s “Good News” Hits Number One On Country Airplay

Before getting into his new album, Shaboozey scored another huge accomplishment with his single “Good News,” which debuted at number one on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart in August 2025. It is his second number one on the chart, following the number-one success of “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” “Good News” is a more reflective and acoustic ballad that illustrates yet another side of Shaboozey's artistry, showing that he can connect with fans away from just the party songs. “Good News” was released in late November 2024 after being promoted on social media and it was the lead single from the complete edition of his 2024 album Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going. Its success on country radio is further proof of Shaboozey's growing stature in country music and his ability to connect with both pop and country audiences.

Shaboozey’s Upcoming Tour In Australia And New Zealand

Following an active summer with multiple media and music projects, Shaboozey is off for some international shows. He decided to start his nine-show stint in Australia and New Zealand at the end of October 2025 and share his high-octane live performance with people Down Under. This tour is part of his progression to connect with global audiences outside the US, as his music finds its way around the world. Fans will have the opportunity to see him live in various stops through early November, with tickets available through DICE for new shows. This tour is also just after Shaboozey appeared on Amazon Music Live, performing following Thursday Night Football, undoubtedly gaining major exposure to sports and music fans, alike.

Shaboozey’s Impact on Country Music And Culture

The ascent of Shaboozey has been nothing less than historic, and with "A Bar Song (Tipsy)," he tied the all-time record for the longest-running song at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, which logged 19 weeks at the top, alongside Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road.” He further cemented his status as one of a few Black artists to simultaneously top both pop and country charts; bridging crossover gaps of representation within the genre. Shaboozey’s musical approach could be described as a feel good, cross-genre blend of country, hip-hop, folk, and pop—proving fresh and genuine in a world full of boundary bending, embryonic music—garnering him six Grammy nominations and three Billboard Music Awards in 2024. In addition to Cowboy Carter [his collaboration with Beyoncé], and the launch of his own label, Shaboozey’s stardom is not only based in shining popularity; he is a cultural force, redefining both sound and appearance for modern country music.

Shaboozey’s Style And Brand Collaborations

In addition to music, Shaboozey has established himself as a style ambassador, recognized for his unrestrained style and intelligent collaborations with brands. His relationship with Cash App goes beyond the F1 livery—the character card helps facilitate customizable content on a prepaid Visa card through stamps and doodles. The collaboration aligns with Shaboozey’s principles of creativity, individuality, and financial dignity. He has also collaborated with Domino's Pizza, singing a new jingle as part of its first brand refresh in 13 years, allowing him to utilize his versatility across sectors. Shaboozey applies the same attitude and authenticity to each platform, regardless of music, fashion, or finance, making him one of the most exciting and versatile performers of 2025.

Shaboozey’s Roots and Regional Pride

Shaboozey's strong sense of pride in his home creates a base for his great level of success. Even though he was born in Virginia, he remarks that geography and culture in the Mid-Atlantic area have molded his sound and values as an artist. With his current project, American Dogwood, he is giving back by featuring artists in Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Maryland, areas he feels this corner of the world has not elevated enough in mainstream music. His local pride is more than just superficial talk about music and culture--it is displayed in his label and in his music career. By signing fellow North Carolinian, Kevin Powers, he demonstrates talent in music comes from all backgrounds, and he is dedicated to getting their music out. More generally, the themes in the songs represent Southern life, values, and storytelling and reflect who his expanding audience is.

Shaboozey’s Future: More Music, More Tours, More Impact

As we venture into the future, Shaboozey seems to be going full speed. He has a new album on the way, he is growing his label, and there are tour plans underway, all for the purpose of cultivating a sustained legacy in music. Fans will be able to look forward over the next few months to Shaboozey crossing multiple genres, fun collaborations with other artists, and even more storytelling. Shaboozey's voice is refreshing because he can keep it real and authentic while still being relevant in a culture that moves at record speeds with music. Whether he is building F1 cars, starting a record label, or working his way to the top of the charts, Shaboozey is living proof that talent, hard work, and a purpose behind your vision can lead anyone anywhere. The future of singer-songwriters in country music seems to be in good hands and is heading straight for Shaboozey.
