Jamie O’Neal released her sixth studio album, Gypsum, on January 23, 2026. The 10-song project marked a return to original material for the country singer, who produced the album alongside her husband, Rodney Good.
The album arrived following the 25th anniversary of O’Neal’s debut album, Shiver, which produced the No. 1 country hits “There Is No Arizona” and “When I Think About Angels.” Gypsum includes six songs co-written by O’Neal, along with “Flowers & Fireflies,” written by her late sister, Samantha Murphy.
O’Neal said the album’s title was inspired by the gypsum sand dunes at White Sands National Park and her love of the American West. She described the area as “one of the most beautiful and serene” places she has visited and said its landscapes helped inspire much of the album.
