From the jump, Braden’s vivid storytelling drives “RIGHT ON TRACK” through loose acoustic guitar and a haze of feedback. As if exhaling one last breath of smoke, he sighs, “They sit you down at seventeen…Where you going? What you gonna be?” A tale of self-reflection, he follows a thematic thread from one decade to the next. Overdriven distortion kicks in during the hook as his voice echoes, “When it’s all going to hell, like the train’s about to crash, running off the rails, just keep your foot down on the gas.”
Without holding back, the track explores what it means to grow at your own pace.
It lands in the wake of “to tell you the truth (b stage),” which has already generated nearly 1 MILLION global streams and counting. ABC touted it on “Nashville Notes” and Country Cue hailed it as “compelling,” proceeding to applaud, “Braden's ability to craft songs that resonate deeply with listeners while showcasing his gritty, powerful vocals.”
He initially teased devil and a prayer with the buzzing anthem “GOD & GUNS N’ ROSES.” The latter has already gathered more than 2.7 MILLION global streams to date. Right out of the gate, it also picked up plugs from MusicRow and more.
devil and a prayer, consisting of 19 songs, was conceptualized by Braden to serve as a representation of his own artistic and personal growth, both combined and delivered to the listener in the imaginative form of a live show. In addition to “GOD & GUNS N’ ROSES,” it also includes his previously released fan-favorites “MORE THAN A PRAYER,” “ABOVE THE WATER,” “ME OR THE DAWN,” “CALL ME FIRST,” plus a standout duet “MIGHT BE DANGEROUS” (with Kaitlin Butts) available on release day.
