NASHVILLE, TENN. – Announcing part two of her musical introduction today, Big Loud Records / Songs & Daughters country firebrand Lauren Watkins is Introducing: The Heartbreak, her next installment of self-penned truth-telling out in full Nov. 17.
Comprised of six new originals co-written entirely by Watkins with Music Row heavyweights like Jessie Jo Dillon, Ashley Monroe, The Warren Brothers, Nicolle Galyon, Rodney Clawson, David Garcia, and more, Introducing: The Heartbreak is a continuation of the rising star’s April-released debut, Introducing: Lauren Watkins. Both projects burn bright, each a brutally honest, autobiographical snapshot of “a country superstar in the making” (Holler). Joined by like-minded talents Carter Faith and Jake Worthington on Heartbreak, Watkins’ vocal quality, uncanny delivery, and collaborative capabilities – both as a writer and an artist – shine.
“Introducing: The Heartbreak is basically the next step in introducing myself and my music to the world,” Watkins says. “First, I released Introducing: Lauren Watkins, which was just saying, ‘here’s me, here’s where I came from, what I’m influenced by.’ This is the next step, going even deeper into who I am, what I’ve gone through, how I think about things. It’s truly introducing the heartbreak I’ve experienced, which will eventually roll out into something much bigger.”
“For now,” Watkins teases, “it’s these six songs that tell the top-to-bottom story of a love, and it’s the perfect introduction to what comes next. I hope you love it like I do.”

Watkins’ first two-pack of new music from the project releases Oct. 20. In her hometown of Music City, buzz builds steadily, with The Tennessean raving: “Enter any Music Row watering hole, mention the name of Big Loud-signed singer-songwriter Lauren Watkins and watch people’s eyes alight with excitement.” Setting up shop in one of those watering holes to bring her two-part musical debut straight to fans, Watkins is also introducing her residency – The Heartbreak Supper Club – at Nashville’s Springwater Supper Club & Lounge, the oldest continuously open and operational bar in greater Tennessee, happening Oct. 17, Oct. 31, and Nov. 14.
This fall, Watkins hits the road supporting Austin Snell and Conner Smith, before an exciting year of touring in 2024, where she’ll debut at Stagecoach and support several stadium dates for labelmate Morgan Wallen.
