CAITLIN CANNON'S new LP "Love Addict" + Video -

Nashville’s Caitlin Cannon has released her new LP, Love Addict. The album, a bold, genre-defying body of work produced by Misa Arriaga (Kacey Musgraves, Willie Nelson), blends dreamy Americana with classic country; think “cosmicana”—a sonic landscape as deep and evocative as Cannon’s storytelling. Its 10 tracks swirl with intergalactic pedal steel, gritty grooves, and raw, unguarded lyrics. Recorded live, the album captures the spontaneity of guitars bleeding into keys, drums, strings, and more, creating a sound that feels both timeless and fresh. While arguably more ‘vibey’ than some of her earlier work, Love Addict still delivers her signature sneak attacks with a wink.

Cannon’s songwriting expertly balances humor and vulnerability, satire and sincerity. Songs like album track “Let It Hurt Some” provide introspective moments and channel the authentic country sound of 60s and 70s Nashville. The video for “Let it Hurt Some” premiered via Magnet Magazine. “All of the scenes were shot in East Nashville and my neighborhood in Old Hickory,” Cannon told Magnet. “My great friend, songwriter Dave Bornè, even pulls the shade in our little nod to the Say Anything moment. There’s so much of me in it.”

Album track “You’re Losing Me” captures the quiet panic of losing a lover to apathy. “Not to genderalize, but have you ever known a man who’s stunned when a relationship ends, while the woman’s been emotionally checked out for months?” she asks. “I wanted to put it in simple terms for the guy exiting my life at the time, and give advance notice for anyone who might enter.” “Jesus Is My Lover” is Cannon’s sarcastic and seductively absurd journey into the depths of desire that begs us to take a ride into a world where the only real danger is taking oneself too seriously. Lead single “Love Addict,” an immersive, slow-burn confession full of intoxication and reckless abandon, is equal parts romantic escapism and raw self-awareness. The video, filmed and directed by Jesse Weeden, features cameos from Pam Tillis, Logan Ledger, Oliver Bates Craven (Sierra Ferrell), along with Cannon’s studio band—Jon Murray (Miranda Lambert), Eddy Dunlap (The Grand Ole Opry Band, The Time Jumpers), and the album’s producer, Misa Arriaga.

Beyond music, Cannon is a force of creative energy. From her comedic debut on Kill Tony to teaching songwriting to inmates through her Beyond Bars program, she defies easy categorization. Beyond Bars, developed in collaboration with The Cultural Arts Alliance and The 30A Songwriters Festival, is set to be featured on Meg Ryan’s series Empowered, highlighting her commitment to bridging art and social impact.

Cannon admits she’ll need at least 80 more pain-free years to accomplish half of her yet-unfulfilled creative desires. Her refusal to fade into the background and her drive to continually push her own boundaries only enhance her status as one of the most exciting artists you’ve probably never heard of. With its May 2025 release, Love Addict promises to solidify her place as one of the most compelling, under-the-radar artists today. As she puts it, “Constant evolution and laughter keep us young”—and Caitlin Cannon shows no signs of slowing down.

On May 9th, Cannon will perform on Finally Friday, WMOT’s livestreamed broadcast, and on May 10th, she will celebrate the album release with a show at The Basement in Nashville.
