Alana Springsteen Joins Forces with Tiesto on “Hot Honey”

Alana Springsteen joins forces as a feature on Tiesto’s new song “Hot Honey,” out now, July 25th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.

There is nothing like cross-genre collaborations between a country artist and another superstar in another genre. We have said it time and time again, each collaboration seems to be better than the next. Today, rising artist, Alana Springsteen joins forces with platinum-selling superstar, Tiesto on their brand new song “Hot Honey.”

Tiesto is known for being a top-notch DJ and producer, while Springsteen is known for her crafty lyrics and catchy instrumentals. “Honey Honey” showcases both of their talents in a way that feels cool, innovative, and different. Tiesto provides the infectious beat, while Springteen’s voice pierces through on every single lyric, sucking the listener into the song from the first word.

“Hot honey // Always have to wonder what you want from me // Guess it’s not enough to stick around (Oh no) // Ooh // It’s like you love to let me down // I need that sweet something // I’m stuck on your lips, that’s why I keep coming // But you never want to stick around (Oh no) // Ooh // It’s like you love to let me down”

“A few months ago the one and only @tiesto reached out to see if i’d want to collaborate with him on his next single. i was deep into the process of writing and recording my next album and was determined to save all my energy and focus for that (bc just wait…). but everything about the song he sent me and the vision he had for it intrigued me. i knew it’d push me out of my comfort zone, challenge me and ultimately make me a better creative human. so i said yes. everything from the phrasing, to the studio, to the way we approached the vocal, the music video (omg the music video) has been bold. it’s been different. and i’ve felt brave for going there,” shared the singer on her Instagram.

While the collaboration may have been unexpected, it certainly works! Springsteen shared that she couldn’t pass up the opportunity, and we are glad she didn’t!

Alana Springsteen: ‘Twenty Something: Getting It Right’ Album Review

Part 3 of Alana Springsteen’s debut album, Twenty Something: Getting It Right is out now, August 18th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new music below.

Alana Springsteen is an artist to look out for. For her debut album, Springsteen chose to split the record into three parts, giving specific groups of songs in each edition. Today, the final part of her debut record, Twenty Something is officially here. The third part is called “Twenty Something: Getting It Right” featuring six brand new songs.

While part one of the record, Messing It Up was heartbreaking, and part two, Figuring It Out was introspective, Getting It Right is inspiring and exciting. “I’ve been not-so-patiently waiting for the release of Getting It Right. Not only because it marks all of my debut album TWENTY SOMETHING being out in the world, but also because I’m finally at a place where I can start talking about some of the really fulfilling moments I’ve experienced over the past year or so,” shared Springsteen in a new press release. “I’ve found my way out of a really dark season of heartbreak and self-discovery, and it’s been a real roller coaster of a ride. On the other side of all of that, I’ve found this really empowering, fulfilling, steady sense of self.”

The record kicks off with a beautiful song called “taylor did.” Springsteen shares how music is truly the backdrop to our lives. For her, Taylor Swift was a mainstay, helping her get through and understand many experiences in her life growing up.

The records continues with “different kinda country” and “cowboys and tequila.” Both songs showcase Springsteen’s undeniable talent. On “different kinda country,” the singer makes peace with the fact that her kind of country is beach-country. She sheds a light on that country music can sound and look different, but ultimately it is about the connection to home and music – something she does effortlessly. “different kinda country” is a true standout on the record.

On “cowboys and tequila,” Springsteen leans into her strong and sassy side. Cleary someone who knows what a broken heart feels like, the singer shares that both cowboys and tequila are “two things [she] doesn’t chase.” This song feels like the perfect addition to Springsteen’s live shows. On “thinkin’ straight,” Springsteen showcases her flirty side. Unapologetically herself, the rising artist brings a much needed fun-loving song to the project.

Similarly on “look i like,” the songstress leans into the vulnerability of falling for someone new. The song feels hopeful, which is a nice look on Springsteen. “I wrote ‘look i like’ with Shane McAnally and Pete Good,” shared this songstress in a recent press release. “I remember every second of that day because I had never written a song like this before. That session was the first time I remember feeling ready to explore the emotions that come with truly wanting someone again.”

On the last track of her debut project, “amen,” Springsteen bares her soul, setting the stage for her life, her music, and what’s to come. The confessional song is all about trusting yourself, knowing that things change, and that it’s okay to mess up sometimes. The addition of the voicemail from her mother embedded into the song adds to the theme of the track. “amen” is the perfect song to bookend the debut project.

Springsteen is the real deal! Twenty Something is an incredible debut by the rising star. Each of the three parts solidify her extraordinary talent and growing staying power. Getting It Right was the perfect note to end the impressive 18-song album with! Congrats to Springsteen for an incredible debut outing.

Twenty Something: Getting It Right Track List:

  1. taylor did (Alana Springsteen, Trannie Anderson, Dallas Wilson, Alysa Vanderheym)
  2. different kinda country (Alana Springsteen, Josh Dorr, Nick Bailey)
  3. cowboys and tequila (Alana Springsteen, Paul DiGiovanni, Parker Welling, Josh Dorr)

Alana Springsteen: ‘Twenty Something: Figuring It Out’ Album Review

Part 2 of Alana Springsteen’s debut album, Twenty Something: Figuring It Out is out now, July 14th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new music below.

Alana Springsteen is an artist to look out for. For her debut album, Springsteen chose to split the record into three parts, giving specific groups of songs in each edition. Today, part 2 of her debut record, Twenty Something: Figuring It Out is officially here, featuring six brand new songs for fans to fall in love with.

While Messing It Up was heartbreaking and emotional, Figuring It Out has some edge to it. It feels like an elevated, more mature version of Springsteen. The record kicks off with the title track “twenty something,” one of the best on the project. The song speaks to growing up and all of the nuances. “twenty something” embodies the true heart of the record. Young adulthood is messy, but special, something this album conveys beautifully.

Next-up, “chameleon” is a song about insecurity masked with an edgy and catchy melody. Springsteen sings about shape-shifting to fit the needs of a guy she is trying to gain approval from. With lines like “I rather lie than be lonely” and “my defense mechanism is never really letting you know me,” it is clear that the songstress knows what it feels like to guard her heart.

The introspective honesty is on full display throughout the record, especially on “when we were friends.” Written by the songstress with Sasha Alex Sloan and Pete Good, “when we were friends” is a song for anyone who has ever gone through a friendship break-up. While romantic break-ups are common topic in music across genres, it is rare that an artist touches on the unique pain and heartbreak that comes from losing a friend. “when we were friends” brings the authenticity and nostalgia that friendships often bring.

Springsteen brings a celebratory and unapologetic vibe to the new album with “here’s to all my exes” and “hypocrite.” The former is an anthemic song about all the lessons learned from dating and romantic relationships. The song is the embodiment of growth, and the perfect track to have on a record called Figuring It Out. Similarly, on “hypocrite” Springsteens sings about life’s nuances.

On the final track, “ghost in my guitar,” the singer-songwriter enlists the help of Chris Stapleton, who lends his guitar skills to the incredible country song. The edgy and vibey song is a heartbreak song disguised by strong vocals and alluring lyrics.

Springsteen is the real deal! Twenty Something: Figuring It Out is an incredible accompaniment to the singer’s growing catalog of music.

Twenty Something: Figuring It Out Track List:

  1. twenty something
  2. chameleon
  3. here’s to all my exes
  4. hypocrite
  5. when we were friends
  6. ghost in my guitar ft. Chris Stapleton

Written by the songstress with Sasha Alex Sloan and Pete Good, “when we were friends” is a song for anyone who has every gone through a friendship break-up.

Springsteen definitely shares her heart on this new song.

“Used to wear each other’s sneakers // Get drunk behind the bleachers // Raise some hell, but we always said amen // I knew who you were kissin’ // What tattoo you were gettin’ // Now I don’t even know how you’ve been // Truth is, I miss when // When we were friends”

Alana Springsteen: ‘Twenty Something: Messing It Up’ – Album Review

Alana Springsteen’s debut album, Twenty Something: Messing It Up is out now, March 24th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new album below.

Alana Springsteen knows how to create music that fans relate to, while still making her songs as personal as they come. Today, marks the first installment of her emotional and touching three part debut album. The singer-songwriter releases six new songs in a record she is calling Twenty Something: Messing It Up.

“I have a tendency to let my feelings consume me, whether they’re good or bad. That’s why I ended up becoming a songwriter, so I could have a productive outlet for those emotions and all of that turmoil,” shared Springsteen in a recent press release. This sentiment personifies each and every track on the record.

“You Don’t Deserve A Country Song” kicks off the project. The song is a powerful anthem of reclaiming yourself after a break-up. According to Springsteen, “It’s about finding my confidence and getting to a place where I could start to trust myself and my judgment again. Most importantly, it’s a reminder to myself about the importance of living in the present and being grateful for all of the ‘once in a lifetime’ moments I’ve been lucky enough to experience recently.” Fans have already fallen in love with it.

Next up, “If You Love Me Now” speaks to Springsteen’s self-aware side. The songstress shares about her journey in love, as well as, her flaws in the beautifully, honest track. Springsteen continues with the vulnerability on “Caught Up To Me;” however, this song is about getting your heart broken. She flips the script, sharing how it feels to be the heartbroken versus the heartbreaker, the role she is used to playing.

On the lone duet, “Goodbye Looks Good On You,” Springsteen enlists Mitchell Tenpenny to help bring the song to life. Continuing to put her heart on the line, the singers share what it would be like to have a healthy breakup. In the refreshing track, Springsteen and Tenpenny sing about wanting happiness for the others, rather than tearing an ex down. On the other hand, on “Tennessee Is Mine,” one of our favorites on the record, Springsteen tells her ex to stay out of Tennessee. While the song may not embody a “healthy” break-up, it is as relatable as ever.

Finally the record wraps up with one of Springsteen’s most honest and heartbreaking songs to date, “Shoulder To Cry On.” Written from a place of immense heartbreak, the songstress emotes through lyrics, while conveying a wordplay that brings the song from good to great.

“I need to talk but we ain’t talking // Tears need to fall and I can’t stop ’em // This heart’s about to break // Right on the interstate // I ain’t gonna make it home // So I’m pulling over // ‘Cause I need a shoulder to cry on”

Springsteen has unmatched talent. She gives fans an inside look into her heart and soul through her honest and vulnerable music. Each song off the first part of Twenty Something: Messing It Up is perfectly done. Springsteen knocks it out of the park with this album!

Twenty Something: Messing It Up Track List:

  1. “You Don’t Deserve A Country Song”
  2. “If You Love Me Now”
  3. “Caught Up To Me”
  4. “Goodbye Looks Good On You (feat. Mitchell Tenpenny)”
  5. “Tennessee Is Mine”

Here Is Alana Springsteen’s New EP: ‘History of Breaking Up (Part 2)’

Alana Springsteen new EP, History of Breaking Up (Part 2) is out now, July 15th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new project below.

The sequel to Alana Springsteen’s beautiful EP, History of Breaking Up (Part 1) is here. The songstress’ new project, History of Breaking Up (Part 2) features eight songs that showcase the singer-songwriter’s undeniable talent and vocal ability. Each song on the project is just as good as the next.

We agree with Springsteen that Part 2 is even better than Part 1, which is hard to believe. “When I look back on where I was as I was writing the songs for HISTORY OF BREAKING UP (PART ONE) and then look at where I am now, it’s all a little surreal,” Springsteen shares in a recent press release. “This project started out as a way for me to find some peace and healing through the heartbreak, but it’s given me so much more: I’ve found a community of the most amazing fans who’ve helped me — and each other — to feel a little less alone. If PART ONE set the bar for me, I truly believe PART TWO raises it.”

Alana Springsteen’s New Song “Trust Issues” is Out Now – Listen Here

Alana Springsteen’s new song “Trust Issues” is out now, May 13th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.

Alana Springsteen noted that her latest release, “Trust Issues”, is her favorite song that she has written to date and we have to admit, it’s ours too! The new track follows recent releases “New Number”  and “Me, Myself and Why”. This group of songs is expected to make up the sequel project to Springsteen’s debut project History of Breaking Up (Part 1) EP.  

Written with Sasha Sloan, Jessie Jo Dillon, and Nick Bailey, Springsteen describes the day they wrote the song together as “more of a therapy session than anything else”. Springsteen was not the only one in the room who had just gone through a break-up, and she believes that them being in that room with her gave her the courage to say what she needed to out loud. Springsteen shared that “’Trust Issues’ was painful to write. It’s a song I had put off writing, but I knew needed to get out. For my sake.”

This song is about heartbreak, lies that unfold, and the pain of realizing the person you were with is not the person you thought they were. It’s about the fear of not knowing if you will be able to trust someone or a relationship again. Although the message is deep, it doesn’t come off as a sad song and instead is a heartbreak anthem with a feel-good tempo. 

“Thank you for all of the lies // And thank you for wreckin’ my life // Thank you for the tears and the unnecessary drama // Can’t believe I let someone like you around my mama // Thank you for breakin’ my heart // And thank you for leavin’ a scar // You got all my love and then you even took the truck too // And all I got are trust issues”

Alana Springsteen Releases New Song “New Number”

Alana Springsteen’s new song “New Number” is out now, April 8th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.

Last month, Alana Springsteen released “Me, Myself, and Why” which was the first release off her upcoming project History of Breaking up (Part Two). Part One, which was her first album, was released last year and included singles like “Zero Trucks”, “California”, and “Trying Not To” with Roman Alexander.

Today, continuing to tease us with releases from her next highly anticipated project, Springsteen just dropped the album’s second single, “New Number”. The catchy and relatable track was written by Shane McAnally, Ashley Gorley, and Rhett Akins. Sprinsteen co-produced the single with Cameron Jaymes. As Springsteen co-wrote each of the songs on Part One and each song she has ever released, this makes “New Number” the first and only outside cut the artist has ever recorded.

“New Number” is a raw, stripped-down expression of heartache. The track forces you to feel each and every emotion coming from the artist as she suffers through the pain of trying to move on. Feeling that she can’t do it on her own and lacking the self-control necessary to do so, she is begging her ex to make it easy on her and get a new number so that the choice is no longer up to her.

“One that I ain’t dialed at least a couple thousand times // So I don’t have to hear you say hello and I don’t have to hear you say goodbye // Let me off the hook so I don’t have to wonder // If you don’t need me, you need a new number”

Alana Springsteen Shares New Song “Me Myself and Why”

Songstress, Alana Springsteen’s new song “Me Myself and Why” is out now, March 4th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.

Emerging artist, Alana Springsteen, released her latest single, “Me Myself and Why” today on all streaming platforms. Springsteen is an artist we have loved from the beginning and that fondness only grows with each new song.

In 2021, Springsteen released her first album History of Breaking Up (Part One), which featured seven tracks including “Zero Trucks”, “California”, and “Trying Not To” with Roman Alexander. “Me Myself and Why” will be the first release from History of Breaking up (Part Two). 

“Me Myself and Why” is a song about falling back into the same trap of being with someone you know you shouldn’t be and knowing that you have nobody to blame but yourself. It shares a rollercoaster of emotions in an incredibly relatable situation of having done something you know you will regret.  

Springsteen shared on her socials earlier this week that “[she is] so proud of what [they] were able to capture in the studio with this song. Regret, angst, pain, anger, sadness, passion…wanted all of that to come through in the final track and it does.”

“My head won’t slow down //This bedroom’s a ghost town, and I  // There’s no one else to blame for // The long night I’m in for when I close my eyes //It’s me myself and // Why didn’t I just let it go // Why did I pick that phone up // Why did I let you kiss me // Should have just kept that door shut // Why didn’t I say hell no // Why did I let you hold me tight // Tonight, It’s me, myself, and why, why, why”
