JOE HANSON’S RELEASES “BROKEN IF IT DON’T BREAK” EXCLUSIVELY PREMIERED BY MEDIUM
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (August 21, 2020) — Sticking with the heartbreak theme, following his last radio single, comes Joe Hanson’s new release “Broken If It Don’t Break” exclusively premiered by Medium. The lyrics of this song pair nicely with the midtempo, pop country melody put behind it. All about feeling emotions during a breakup, Hanson really hits the ball out of the park on this one – written by Hanson with Jen Denmark, Keesy Timmer and Anna Ord. Listen to the single here.
“For me I wrote this song in a place where my heart was numb to feeling love. There were things my heart went through that should have affected me and hurt me, but quite honestly my heart got to a place where it didn’t anymore and from there the thought for the song was birthed. It’s simply saying if my heart is not breaking from this stuff I go through, then it’s already broken. My hope is that those who hear this song can be inspired to know that everybody is broken one way or another and to not be afraid to show the world your broken side. Heartbreak is only a temporary season, don’t lose heart and hold tight to faith because everything you have been dreaming for is right on the other side of not giving up, take it from me,” says Hanson.
“Even now, the Illinois native knows how to write the kind of songs that stick in your head, with lyrics that reflect the bitter and the sweet he’s tasted in life.” – Donna Block, Medium
“Broken If It Don’t Break” is featured in Nashville Briefing’s New Music Round Up playlist and NYCountry Swag’s New Country Music playlist.
Hanson’s previous single, “Part Of Me,” has reached the Top 50 on the Music Row Country Breakout Chart and The Boot even drew parallels of his music to Dan + Shay and Devin Dawson’s. Prominent music critic, Robert K. Oermann, called him “promising” as well.
Hanson has remained busy throughout the pandemic on social media by sharing covers of some of his favorite songs. Check them out here and stay up to date with him on his website.
About Joe Hanson
Singer/songwriter Joe Hanson is already breaking the mold, and he’s brand new to country music. He is equipped with a striking tenor voice and a knack for shaping a melody like a sculptor with stone: tastefully and expressively. Even now, Hanson knows how to write the kind of songs that stick in your head, with lyrics that reflect the bitter and the sweet he’s tasted in life. And while he seems to have been born to sing country music — in fact, he probably was — it took Hanson a while to decide whether his destiny was in Christian music, on which he was raised back in Naperville, Illinois alongside country stalwarts like Randy Travis, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, John Denver and more. After experimenting with various sounds and projects, Hanson knew that his calling was to make country music, so he officially moved to Nashville. Since moving to town he has had the opportunity to attend writers retreats, where he met Keesy Timmer, who’d penned Kelsea Ballerini’s “Yeah Boy.” Hanson has also had the opportunity to open for some of Nashville’s best including Brantley Gilbert, Randy Houser, Russell Dickerson and Lindsay Ell. Hanson is currently working on an EP to be released throughout 2020. For more information about him, check out his website, joehansonmusic.com.
