Morgan Evans and Laci Kaye Booth make a compelling pair. The Australian-born, Nashville-based Evans teams up with the Geffen Records singer-songwriter on “Two Broken Hearts,” a stripped-back duet written by Evans with Fraser Churchill and out now via Solrise Records and Virgin Music Group.
The song is raw and unguarded, two voices navigating the complicated space between heartbreak and connection. Evans and Booth’s harmonies carry real emotional weight, and the lyric doesn’t flinch. It’s the kind of track that lands differently each time you hear it, and Evans knows it.
“This song still hits me like the day I wrote it,” Evans says. “It wasn’t written as a duet, but Lace’s voice took it somewhere I couldn’t have imagined on my own.” That chemistry is audible throughout, and it makes “Two Broken Hearts” one of the more quietly affecting country releases so far this year.
The single joins “Beer Back Home” as the second preview of Evans’ sophomore album ‘Steel Town’, arriving March 20th. Written during time spent back in his hometown of Newcastle, Australia, the record finds Evans returning to Nashville with sharper focus and deeper material.
