FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Country/Americana Artist Matt Burke Releases His Highly Anticipated Sophomore Album "Hookups & Heartaches"

Nashville, TN – August 16, 2024 – Rising Country/Americana singer-songwriter Matt Burke has just released his much-anticipated sophomore album, Hookups & Heartaches. Available now on all major streaming platforms, this 12-track album encapsulates the emotional highs and lows of life, blending soulful melodies with raw, authentic storytelling.

Hookups & Heartaches marks a significant evolution in Burke's artistry, exploring the complexities of human experiences with heartfelt lyrics and a distinctive musical style. The title track serves as the album’s focal point, encapsulating the overarching theme of navigating the tumultuous path of love, loss, and personal growth.

The album also features fan-favorite singles that have already garnered significant attention, including "Blowing Up In Slow Motion," "Loving You Was Easy," and "Coffee, Whiskey & Weed"—an acoustic revival of one of Burke’s most beloved songs. Danielle Beu (formerly of The Beu Sisters) contributes to the album's depth with her harmonies, adding layers of emotion to each track.

"This album is an honest reflection of the ups and downs we all go through. From the late-night decisions we regret to the moments of clarity that follow, these songs come from real experiences and emotions,” Burke shared.

Recorded independently in Nashville, TN, Hookups & Heartaches offers a fresh perspective while staying true to the roots of Americana and country music. Burke’s growth as a songwriter is evident in every track, with his storytelling resonating deeply with listeners. His ability to translate complex emotions into relatable narratives has drawn comparisons to the likes of Jason Isbell and Sturgill Simpson.

As the album launches today, Burke is set to continue promoting his music through live performances across the US. Burke's manager, Brian Paul, shared his thoughts on the new album:

"Matt’s music has a way of moving people…he writes music that many people can relate to and I think that is a big reason his fanbase is continuously growing. Our focus for Matt beyond this release is to continue to get him more live show opportunities and more exposure…once you see him perform live, you are hooked."
