Rob Thomas Unveils ‘The Great Unknown’ Cover Art And Tracklist

It’s been a long time between solo albums for Rob Thomas (six years to be exact), but fans won’t have to wait too much longer. The Great Unknown drops August 21 and there are three instant downloads waiting for you right now if you pre-order it. One of those is the LP’s Ryan Tedder-produced lead single “Trust You,” which struggled to find an audience on radio despite being an exceedingly catchy pop/rock anthem.

The Matchbox Twenty frontman might have better luck with buzz track “Hold On Forever.” The instantly-hummable pop song finds Rob in a warm and fuzzy mood. “I’ll keep you warm like a sweater, take my hand hold on forever,” the 43-year-old sings over strummed guitar. It’s very cute and should resonate with fans better than “Trust You.” The third pre-release single is called “One Shot” and it allows him to rock out a little. Listen to both below.
