Thirty One is the second studio album by American actress and country music singer Jana Kramer. It was released on October 9, 2015.[2] It became available for preorder on August 27, 2015 on iTunes, the same day the tracklist was revealed.[3]
Background
On the album's title, Kramer explained, "I want this title to be strong; I want this title to be me. I want this title to somehow portray the woman that I am. There's no other way of saying that than 'Thirty One.'"[4]
Critical reception
Giving it a "B", Bob Paxman of Nash Country Weekly thought that "The songs here are mostly good, but it's hard to discern a real identity from the album as a whole." He thought that the first two singles, plus "Boomerang" and "Said No One Ever", were the strongest cuts.[5]
Commercial performance
The album debuted at No. 3 on Top Country Albums, and No. 10 on the Billboard 200, with 18,000 copies sold in the US in the first week.[6] It sold a further 5,000 copies in its second week.[7] The album has sold 60,300 copies in the US as of March 2016.[8]
