The latest outing from the star comes after a busy year; Costner was spotted touring as a singer with his secret country and western band and since his divorce from Christine Baumgartner, is rumoured to be in a relationship with the singer, Jewel.
Costner was a singer before he became an actor, and has expressed how music is one of his preferred ways of explaining his feelings.
“When I can’t exactly find the words, I go, ‘Listen to this; this is what I mean,’” he told American Songwriter, in 2020.
The star went onto explain that while he finds acting comfortable, music challenges him every time.
"Sometimes, when I go to my next movie, I think I’ve forgotten everything I know about acting," he says.
"Then you get there and you realise that you know all these things that you’ve built on — they start to come back. Music is, like, I never, we never, know."
