Info for The Heartbroken Record
Bursting with authenticity, barstool charm and Tennessee limestone gravel in her voice, Nashville born and raised songbird Lauren Watkins writes, breathes and lives country music. She grew up mesmerized by a jukebox spin of country music: from outlaws like Willie Nelson and Sheryl Crow to chart-toppers Eric Church, Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton.
Returning to Nashville after four years at Ole Miss, Watkins’ relentless lyricism quickly caught the attention of GRAMMY-nominated songwriter Nicolle Galyon, who signed her to publishing and recording deals with Songs & Daughters / Big Loud Records almost instantly. and her two EPs, released in 2023, skillfully set the scene and provided the foundation for what is her elegant, intelligent and wonderfully retro-melodic debut album. Perfecting a sound that both respects the genre’s roots and is in line with where it’s headed, “The Heartbroken Record” will establish Watkins as a major contender in a crowded market of artists all fighting to establish themselves as the next generation of Country. superstars.
“The Heartbroken Record” is a heartfelt exploration of love and loss, weaving a tapestry of emotions through its 16 tracks. Following the style and themes of her previous EPs, Watkins continues to channel a country, slightly retro vibe reminiscent of early Kacey Musgraves. Album opener “Leavers Leave” sets the tone with its melodious chorus about the inevitable end of relationships. Watkins’ poignant lyrics, “don’t hold on to me… because those who leave,” capture the essence of accepting love’s ephemerality, setting the stage for the painful journey ahead.
“I didn’t want to just put an album out – I wanted it to be purposeful,” Watkins reflects. “It’s the past several years of my life, and that was just so much heartbreak and dramatic girl-feelings, but I think in a really deep and relatable way… and it just needs to get off my chest.”
“It’s exactly the space in country I thought was missing and wanted to fill,” she continues. “It’s sweet and warm, but also gritty and tough at the same time, and that’s my favorite thing. I love it.”

Drenched in authenticity and rife with barstool charm with an addictive, Tennessee limestone gravel in her voice, Nashville-born and bred songbird Lauren Watkins writes, breathes, and lives country music. The 24-year-old original grew up on the outskirts of Guitar Town, mesmerized by a jukebox rotation of country music, from outlaws like Willie Nelson and Sheryl Crow to chart-toppers Eric Church, Miranda Lambert, and Chris Stapleton. Moving back after four years at Ole Miss, Watkins’ unyielding, turn-on-a-dime lyricism quickly caught the attention of GRAMMY-nominated multi-hyphenate Nicolle Galyon, who signed her to publishing and recording contracts with Songs & Daughters / Big Loud Records almost instantly. Honing in on a sound that’s both reverent of the genre’s roots and in lockstep with where it's headed next, she introduced her take on country music with 17-track, full-length debut The Heartbroken Record, out now, the full-circle companion to previous EP releases Introducing: Lauren Watkins and Introducing: The Heartbreak. Watkins is touring fairs and festivals all summer before opening stadiums for Morgan Wallen internationally, theaters for Maddie & Tae, and dance halls for Corey Kent this fall. She’s previously toured with ERNEST, Conner Smith, Jameson Rodgers, Austin Snell, and Lily Rose.
