Meanwhile, BRELAND released the genre-busting single “Heartbreak & Alcohol” earlier this month, once again redefining the scope of Country music. A bold interpolation of one of modern Hip-Hop’s biggest hits (Lil Wayne’s “Love Me” feat. Drake and Future), the swerving slow-groover marks the first taste of BRELAND’s next creative chapter and has already begun turning heads. 

Billboard praises BRELAND’s “honeyed vocal” and decision to keep the song’s “smooth R&B-pop melody and groove,” noting the "combination feels even more organic to the production’s moody atmosphere.”

Likewise, Wide Open Country highlights “Heartbreak & Alcohol” as “a genre stew with steamy R&B vibes and stone-cold Country lyrics as the main ingredients,” and the song has landed on curated must-hear playlists like CMT Roundup, Entertainment Tonight’s New Music FridayHITS Daily DoubleHollerSubstream, and more.

Looking ahead, the 2024 edition of BRELAND & Friends will also serve as the kick off to BRELAND’s headlining LITTLE MORE COUNTRIER TOUR, with more than a dozen nationwide dates on the calendar, and tickets available now here.

ABOUT BRELAND:
Boundary-shattering, breakout star BRELAND is pushing the possibilities of Country music on a global scale. Since the arrival of his PLATINUM-certified debut single “My Truck,” the New Jersey-bred singer/songwriter/producer has amassed over 1.1 BILLION career streams, brought his crowd-thrilling live show to an international headline tour, and gained acclaim from many of the world’s leading music publications (with Rolling Stone hailing him as “a symbol of Country music’s ongoing evolution” and Billboard calling him a “keen, visionary solo artist”). On his critically acclaimed 2022 debut album CROSS COUNTRY, the Bad Realm Records/Atlantic Records/Warner Music Nashville artist introduced a high-energy sound that blurs the barriers between Country, Pop, Hip-Hop, Soul, and Southern Gospel, offering up smash hits like the GOLD-certified “Praise The Lord (feat. Thomas Rhett).” A blockbuster year for BRELAND, 2023 has included such triumphs as teaming up with superstar Keith Urban to open the 16th annual Academy of Country Music Honors by performing their GOLD-certified collaboration “Throw It Back” and — immediately following the performance — receiving the ACM Lift Every Voice Award, recognizing his role in “elevating underrepresented voices throughout the Country music genre, transcending demographics and geography.” Released in September, CROSS COUNTRY: THE EXTRA MILE delivered a star-packed bonus version of his full-length debut, with the expanded album’s six fresh tracks including a brand-new feature with Brittney Spencer as well as live favorite “Cowboy Don’t.” With his high-profile TV appearances to date including Good Morning AmericaJimmy Kimmel Live!The Voice, and TODAY, he also spent much of 2023 on the road as support for the legendary Shania Twain’s QUEEN OF ME TOUR in the U.S. and U.K. (with stops at iconic venues like Madison Square Garden), in addition to taking his THE EXTRA MILE TOUR across the U.K., Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. A truly magnetic live performer, BRELAND has also graced the stage at major festivals like Stagecoach and C2C: Country to Country Festival, fulfilling his mission of uniting audience members from all walks of life with his wildly joyful music.
