Triple threat talent, Ernest, presents his new album, Deep Blue. The 13-song collection continues to mix his country sensibilities with a coastal feel. Produced by Ernest and Jacob Durrett, the album features previously released single "Lorelei," which Billboard named "a worthy inclusion to country music's history of balmy, tropical-infused tracks," and "Boat Named After You." Deep Blue also includes a previously unreleased demo by Toby Keith, "End of the Night," which Ernest first recorded for Apple Music's 'Lost & Found' series in October 2025.
