Chipotle Mexican Grill will be debuting singer-songwriter-influencer Alex Warren’s new album in nearly 4,000 restaurants, according to a news release from the Newport Beach-based chain.
The worldwide listening party will take place 5-8 p.m. on Thursday July 17. Chipotle calls it the first of its kind.
Warren’s single “Ordinary” topped the Billboard Hot 100 for six weeks earlier this year.
His new album is called “You’ll Be Alright, Kid,” and will be released Friday, July 18. Chipotle will play it for three hours straight on loop, Warren said in an Instagram video that includes a snatch of the music.
Warren is a San Diego County native. He’s also a Chipotle fan, the news release said, and has a bowl named after him featuring Chipotle Honey Chicken.
Fans who order it on Chipotle’s app or online during the listening party will be entered to win an autographed copy of the album. Use the promo code “ALEX.”
Warren is touring in Europe, according to his website, but will perform in San Diego on Aug. 9.
