“I’m extremely excited to be launching this venture and I love that the label is 'Born To Fly.' I wrote that song about my own life, coming to Nashville and following my dreams,” said Evans. “It’s a dream come true to surround myself with my own team and truly embrace my entrepreneurial spirit, taking complete control of my career and brand is so freeing. I can’t wait to share this new project with everyone!”

Details about the new album will be revealed in the coming weeks. Fans can catch up with Sara on the road with dates booked throughout the year. For more details, check out saraevans.com.

Billboard reports: This month marks 20 years since the release of her first single, 1997's "True Lies." Evans garnered 14 top 20 singles during her tenure at RCA, with five rising to No. 1, including 1998's "No Place That Far," featuring Vince Gill; 2005's "A Real Fine Place to Start"; and 2011's two-week chart-topper "A Little Bit Stronger."

Evans has left the door open to work with other acts through Born to Fly. She mentions daughter Olivia Schelske, who provided background vocals on the new album, as a budding artist who could benefit.
