(Owen and his wife of three years, Lacey Buchanan, split up last August.)

ButAmerican Loveisnt full of break-up songs.

I have to make an album that I enjoy singing every night.

It turns out Jake Owen enjoys singing about love on tour.

It wasnt intentional but, I kept noticing this reoccurring theme.

The word kept appearing, but it was said in such different ways.

Sometimes my voice gets hidden, he admits.

People dont even have the opportunity to know that I love to sing.

His voice, a honey-bourboned baritone, is joined by two others at different points on the set.

It makes me happy, and I know how much work I put into it.

American Loveis due out July 29 via Sony Music Nashville.
