Dubbed “Nashville’s hottest newcomer” by Country Now, emerging artist-songwriter Alana Springsteen is finding the love in heartbreak, as she’s fast capturing the hearts of critics with her brand-new EP HISTORY OF BREAKING UP (PART ONE) – plus the attention of Pop trio LANY. With her star power on the rise, the 20-year-old was recently announced as support on eight dates of LANY’s worldwide gg bb xx tour 2021, including her first major performance in Nashville, TN, on October 21 at Ascend Amphitheater.

“I’m lucky to have had the chance to discover music at a time when it’s had no limits. Because of that, I have an appreciation for so many kinds of music across different genres. I’ve been a fan of LANY for a very long time, and to now be opening this tour is an actual dream come true for me,” admits Springsteen. “It still hasn't sunk in yet that I’m going to get to sing my brand-new songs to amphitheaters and arenas of fans just like me who might find a piece of their own story in them. I can’t wait to bring a little Country to the gg bb xx tour.”
A co-writer on every song alongside key Nashville tunesmiths like Walker Hayes, Jerry Flowers, Jared Ray Keim, Tyler Filmore, and Andrew DeRoberts, Springsteen also co-produced five tracks. According to Taste of Country, the diary-like compilation “is a strong next step in Springsteen's country music career, wherein she presents herself as a self-assured songwriter who knows how to write for the modern country landscape with the best of them but also contribute a personal touch that leaves you wanting to hear more of the story.” In addition, she’s credited on acoustic guitar for six of the seven tunes.
Prior to the EP dropping, Springsteen had already landed high-profile looks in Rolling Stone’s RS Country Picks, Entertainment Tonight’s New Music Releases, and American Songwriter with “California,” while “Zero Trucks” turned heads with CMT, Entertainment Tonight’s New Music Releases, and E! News’ The MixtapE!. Further named among “New Country Albums You Need To Hear Right Now” by Country Now, reviews for HISTORY OF BREAKING UP (PART ONE) keep stacking up:
