The EP includes four amazing tracks, including the breakout “Sunshine Shine” which kicked off this project in February. The additional tracks include “Good As it Gets,” “Energy” and “Tailgating in the Sun.” After the incredible response to his previous hit “The Git Up” taking the world by storm – 11x platinum and 4 billion streams, Blanco was on his way to great success, until tragedy struck when a drunk driver hit him head on riding his motorcycle almost killing him. After being resuscitated in the ambulance and twelve blood transfusions, Blanco faced a long road to recovery re-learning to walk and hold a mic again. Blanco’s journey to this EP has been nothing short of miraculous, overcoming adversity and finding inspiration in life’s bitter lemons. With a renewed spirit and a second chance at life, he’s bringing a whole new chapter of electrifying music straight to your ears. When asked about the album title, Blanco says that when going through a heartache, a little lemonade makes everything a little bit better.
“This EP feels a bit different for me,” said Brown. “I’ve now traveled the world, looked death in the eyes and somehow made it back alive. Bitter moments never lasted, sweeter moments brought me back to purpose. ‘Sunshine Shine’ is about being a ray of light to somebody all the time and if everybody did that nobody would feel dark because we would be shining our light on each other. HEARTACHE & LEMONADE brings about a new chapter.”
Known for his bombastic personality and infectious laugh, Blanco Brown is redefining the country music scene one hit at a time. With his distinct style he coined “Trailer Trap”, this highly anticipated project promises to deliver a fresh and dynamic experience showcasing Blanco Brown’s versatility as a singer, songwriter and producer. Blanco, known for breaking barriers and pushing the boundaries of country music, brings his distinctive style and charisma to every track on the EP and the project is a testament to his ability to seamlessly fuse various genres, creating a sound that is uniquely his own.
From the first track “Energy,” it’s clear that global smash Blanco Brown has a pulse on the direction of the country genre. His branded “Trailer Trap” sound amplifies the stories & arrangements on this project. Blanco’s dripping-with-soul vocals also sonically shine throughout, building universal connections with listeners.
The second offering is the serene “Tailgating in the Sun.” This story reminisces on those relationships where you want to soak up every minute with your partner. He sings about laying on the tailgate “until the sun comes up” with a person who can “make magic out of the damage.” It’s a song about loving even when you are at your lowest.
Blanco does it again with “Good As It Gets.” “It’s about finding that someone to spend the rest of your life with, someone you can’t live without… Tonight, everything that could’ve gone wrong went right and that moment wouldn’t be the same without you,” explained Blanco.
“Sunshine Shine”, the closing track on the project, is a feel-good anthem that radiates positivity and resilience, offering a perfect blend of catchy melodies and 808 beats that will undoubtedly resonate with fans across the globe. HEARTACHE & LEMONADE will solidify why Billboard named him the “Top New Country Artist” (2019).
