Today, Reba McEntire fans can get their hands on her 27th studio album release, "Love Somebody" available in stores now! This is her first release with her new label Nash Icon; a division of Big Machine Label Group and Cumulus Radio aimed at reviving classic country stars' careers.

It's been 5 years since we've heard from McEntire and so far, it's been worth the wait! She utilized young and talented songwriters to freshen up her sound, yet also used writers and producers who have been there for decades in an effort to maintain her originality. Her first release "Going Out Like That",  is a great example of updating her sound while still sounding like classic Reba. You'll hear a duet with Jennifer Nettles titled "Enough", which is very reminiscent of her hit from the '90's "Doe's He Love You?" The title song, "Love Somebody", was co-written by Sam Hunt and she says that was the song that pushed her the most out of her box!

You'll find her new album to uplifting, inspirational, heartbreaking and sad all at the same time. She included what she thinks is one of the saddest breakup songs ever on the album and a song that she recorded prior to her father's death. When asked if she would ever be able to perform it, she could only reply with an "I hope so".

When you purchase her album through Target, you'll also receive bonus tracks!

Reba will join Sam Alex and Taste of Country Nights tonight with all of the album scoop, so make sure you tune in this evening starting at 7pm. Last week, McEntire debuted her makeup line "Reba Beauty" and she will be joining her friends Brooks & Dunn in June for a limited engagement at Caesars Palace. Limited tickets are still available. Phew! She is one busy lady!!
