NASHVILLE, Tenn. - PLATINUM-certified, GRAMMY-nominated artist and songwriter Anne Wilson announces Stars (Blue Hour Deluxe), out July 10 via Capitol Christian Music Group. Expanding on the faith-filled, coming-of-age collection first introduced on her third studio album, Stars, the 17-track deluxe album adds five new tracks that deepen the project's message of hope, healing and holding tight to Jesus through every season.

PRE-SAVE: STARS (BLUE HOUR DELUXE)

"When I first released Stars, my prayer was simple - that these songs would help people lift their eyes to Jesus," shares Wilson. "Since then, I've walked through incredible highs, deep heartbreak and moments that tested my faith in ways I never expected. Through it all, God has remained faithful. As I've traveled the country and sung these songs with so many of you, they've taken on an even deeper meaning. Stars (Blue Hour Deluxe) feels like the next chapter in a story only God could write -- a story of faith, hope, healing and trusting Him through it all. Because at the end of the day, reaching for the stars was never really about chasing a dream. It was about reaching for Jesus. I can't wait for you to hear it on July 10."

The expanded album will feature the recently released "Still Do" with Cole Swindell, which Billboard tapped as "a country-shaded song of faith and redemption," an acoustic version of the sweeping "Carry Me," a live version of "God Story" and the brand-new "Me & Jesus," born from the grief and reflection of losing a close friend. The project will also include "Maker's Mark" with Drew Baldridge, a reflective look at legacy, purpose and leading the kind of life that leaves a lasting impact.

The Kentucky native will spend the summer appearing at some of Christian music's most beloved fairs and festivals before heading to the United Kingdom for Big Church Festival and Long Road Festival. From t here, she will kick off the second leg of her recently extended The STARS Tour, which adds 24 dates across the U.S. to the previously announced run. The fall leg will bring her compelling live show to cities across the West Coast, Midwest, South and more, with special guests Peter Burton and Aodh�n King set to join on select dates. Tickets are available for purchase via annewilsonofficial.com.

Beyond music, Wilson continues to expand her message through writing. Earlier this month, she released her third book, "Rebel: Following Jesus When the World Walks the Other Way," via W Publishing, an imprint of Thomas Nelson. The release follows her recent Book Impact Award win at the 2026 K-LOVE Fan Awards for her "Hey Girl" 40-Day Devotional, further underscoring the growing impact of her faith-forward storytelling across music, print and the live stage.

With over 2 billion career streams, Wilson is cementing herself as "one of contemporary Christian music's most dynamic trailblazers" (People). Building on the success of a GRAMMY nomination, multiple Dove Award wins and recognition from Spotify, CMT, Billboard and more, Wilson's next chapter promises to shine even brighter.

ABOUT ANNE WILSON:

Anne Wilson makes music where faith and country meet, a rare space where honesty, grief, and hope live side by side. At just 24, she has already crossed the 2 billion streams milestone and emerged as one of the most distinctive new voices in both Christian and country music.

Her third studio album, Stars, captures a young artist growing up on record. Shaped by the tragic loss of her brother Jacob, Wilson's faith could have been shattered -- but instead it was strengthened. That tension, of wrestling with God yet still loving Jesus, defines her music and makes her profoundly relatable. "Faith isn't about never questioning," she says. "It's about holding on in the middle of the storm."

Stars threads together themes of grief, growth, maturity, and wonder, carried by Wilson's soaring vocals and country-pop production. From the wide-eyed imagery of the title track to the raw prayer of "Carry Me" and the redemption arc of "Dead in the Water," the album reflects both the hardship of loss and the joy of new perspective.

Alongside the album, Wilson is delivering her new music to fans in person on The STARS Tour. She's also released a 40-day "Hey Girl" devotional. Named after her encouraging anthem, the devotional is aimed at young readers, extending her message of identity and Christ-centered hope beyond the stage. Following her record-breaking album REBEL, which boldly defined what it looks like to stand firm in faith, Wilson continues that powerful message in her new book, "Rebel." Written to encourage readers of all ages to learn what it means to follow Jesus, even when the crowd walks the other way.

Anne Wilson is still becoming, still wrestling and still rejoicing - but Stars proves she's

shining brighter not in spite of the struggle, but because of it.
