Listen to American Heartbreak HERE.
On the story behind American Heartbreak, Bryan shares, “I would say true love of anything is supposed to rip your heart out and put it back together all in the same go round. This album to me is all the trials we face day-in and day out and I wrote all the stories on it hoping someone, somewhere might relate or some kid might pick up an instrument and replicate it in an effort to be an artist.” He further explained, “Some songs are sad, some are happy, some are hopeful, and some are hopeless, all of them mean something different to me and I pray they mean something to someone else. American Heartbreak is my effort at trying to explain what being a 26-year-old man in America is like. There’s love, loss, revelry, resentment, and forgiveness all wrapped into one piece of work. Thank you, guys, for listening, always.”
The release of American Heartbreak follows Bryan’s milestone of surpassing 1 billion global streams. As previously reported, his recent single “Something in the Orange” peaked at #11 on the Billboard Hot Country charts and was #18 global streaming track overall. The track has amassed over 28 million streams to date and currently sitting in the top 20 of the Spotify Viral Songs Chart.
