Embracing vulnerability and raw honesty, multi-platinum artist Matt Stell prepares to unveil his debut album, ‘Born Lonely,' via RECORDS Nashville on June 7. With pre-save options available, Stell invites listeners to embark on a deeply personal journey through 10 tracks that delve into the complexities of life, love, and self-discovery.
Reflecting on the creation of ‘Born Lonely,' Stell shares, “I couldn’t be prouder of Born Lonely. When I started writing these songs, I decided to tell the truth – the good, the bad, the fun, the sad, all of it – and see what happened. It turned into the best batch of songs I’ve ever recorded.”
Known for his powerful performances and chart-topping hits like ‘Prayed For You' and ‘Everywhere But On,' Stell now ventures into uncharted territory as he bares his soul through poignant songwriting. Drawing from personal experiences of separation and loneliness, the album offers a candid exploration of Stell's journey towards healing and self-acceptance.
Produced by Joe Fox and Chris DeStefano, ‘Born Lonely' combines heartfelt storytelling with a blend of country confession and hard rock muscle. Tracks like the autobiographical title track ‘Born Lonely,' the anthemic ‘Take the Girl,' and the introspective ‘Breakin’ in Boots' showcase Stell's ability to confront his inner turmoil head-on while embracing vulnerability.
In his latest release, ‘Built by Broken Hearts,' Stell continues to lay bare his emotions, delving into the complexities of love and self-discovery. Co-written with Seth Alley and James McNair, the song captures the struggle of coming to terms with emotional scars and the transformative power of finding understanding in another.
Directed by Dustin Haney, the accompanying visualizer for ‘Built by Broken Hearts' offers a poignant visual representation of Stell's journey, emphasizing the courage it takes to embrace vulnerability and let love in.
As Stell prepares to release ‘Born Lonely,' he invites fans to join him on a journey of self-reflection and growth. Through his authentic storytelling and soulful performances, Stell aims to connect with listeners on a profound level, offering a message of hope and resilience in the face of life's challenges.
