The night before the 56th Annual CMA Awards, nominee and PLATINUM star BRELAND will bring his debut Country radio single “For What It’s Worth” to ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! airing November 8 at 11:35/10:35c. Vying for his first CMA award, BRELAND is up for Musical Event of the Year alongside Dierks Bentley and HARDY for GOLD-certified, #1 collaboration “Beers On Me.”
Billboard predicts “…BRELAND is set up for his first solo radio single about as well as possible,” and the multi-talent is proving this to be true with “For What It’s Worth” officially hitting Country radio airwaves today as one of the most added songs nationwide. In an exclusive interview for Billboard Country Update’s “Makin’ Tracks” feature, BRELAND explains “It’s tough to put the mirror in front of your own face when a relationship ends, to be able to see some of those areas of weakness or places that you need to grow. It really is about closure. There are a lot of times you never have that follow-up conversation, and you wish that you had.” Written by BRELAND along with Greylan James, Jacob Durrett, and Rocky Block, the single is off BRELAND’s widely lauded debut album CROSS COUNTRY (Bad Realm Records/Atlantic Records/Warner Music Nashville).

BRELAND “blends country, hip-hop, R&B, gospel and pop for a memorable sound,” Forbes applauds. The NJ native will bring his signature Cross Country sound and more to his fall headline HERE FOR IT TOUR, kicking off in Oxford, OH, at Brick Street on November 16. Boasting SOLD-OUT shows in major markets – Mercury Lounge in New York, NY, and The Foundry at The Fillmore in Philadelphia, PA, two new dates have been added on 11/28 and 12/4 respectively. The tour continues through December and tickets are on-sale now via brelandmusic.com.
Expanding his reach internationally, BRELAND’s global monthly streams have increased upwards of 480% month-over-month after his infectious song “Praise The Lord (feat. Thomas Rhett)” was added to the Country Heat playlist and station from Amazon Music in March 2022. The Amazon Music Breakthrough Spotlight Artist is currently touring the UK as direct support for Russell Dickerson and will return to the Grand Ole Opry for their second annual Opry NextStage Live In Concert on November 20, which will showcase some of Country music’s top rising stars who have been a part of the NextStage artist discovery program.
