MACKENZIE PORTER RELEASES NOBODY’S BORN WITH A BROKEN HEART

Global country chart-topper, MacKenzie Porter‘s sound knows no borders.

Today (26th April), MacKenzie continues to shine with impactful lyrics and mesmerizing vocals on her long-awaited Big Loud Records debut, Nobody’s Born With A Broken Heart out now. 

“I can’t put into words what this means to me. I’m so excited to put out the perfect group of songs to represent who I am,” MacKenzie Porter shares. “Each one of these songs is a part of me. I’ve been heartbroken more times than I can count, but that’s made me who I am today and I’m proud to be living my life with enough bravery to take chances. This album is a testament to those chances, and to the beauty of putting all my pieces – broken or not – back together.”

Setting her sights on country music stardom and falling in love with the genre growing up on her family’s cattle and bison ranch, the years-in-the-making 19-track album examines the different types of heartbreak that have shaped and changed her life. From career disappointments represented in “Nightingale”, to the loneliness of trying to move on in “Foreclosure”, to the haunting pain of disappointment in “Pay Me Back In Change,” MacKenzie uses the album to explore the idea that in a life worth living, the human heart will inevitably break – one way or another.

The release is accompanied by an official music video for “one of the more devastating songs on the record” (Substream Magazine) “Confession” premiering exclusively on CMT Hot 20tomorrow (27th April) and playing across Paramount’s Times Square Billboards. Emulating the song’s candidly poignant lyrics, the Justin Clough-directed music video was captured at Ghost Ranch just outside of Santa Fe, N.M earlier this year.

Next week, MacKenzie will celebrate the release of the record by making her solo television debut on The Kelly Clarkson Show next Monday 29th April.
