The full tracklist for New Season includes: "Are You Coming?", "Not Looking Back Anymore," "Rina" (feat.
Alex Amen), "New Season", "You And Me", "Wish I Could Tell You", "Traveling", "Guiding Star" (feat. Courtney Marie Andrews), "California Hills" (feat. Sierra Ferrell), and "Ending". New Season is set to drop on November 6 via Ghostly International.
