Real Friends is the third studio album by American country music singer Chris Janson. It was released via Warner Records Nashville on October 18, 2019. The album contains the singles "Good Vibes" and "Done" and "Waitin' on 5".
Janson produced the album with Tommy Cecil, Brock Berryhill, and Zach Crowell, who also co-wrote tracks on the album. It is also Cecil's first production credit. Blake Shelton sings duet vocals on the title track. Janson said that he wanted the album to have a positive theme, and told Billboard that "We wrote it with a positive narrative and tone all the way through."[3]
"Hawaii on Me" was later recorded by Joe Nichols for his 2022 album Good Day for Living.
Critical reception
Rating it 3.5 out of 5 stars, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic said of the album that it was "a cheerful, breezy affair, filled with reassuring ballads and party tunes that mindfully avoid pressing the pedal to the metal."[4]
