NASHVILLE, TENN. – Bad Realm/Atlantic Records’ newcomer BRELAND has roared into new territory, driving his debut Country single “My Truck” to GOLD certification.
Making its presence felt, “My Truck” was released in early 2020 and quickly made an impact, scoring rave reviews, superstar fans, viral-hit status and a music video amassing 27 MILLION views. Mixing elements of Country, Hip-Hop and Pop with a heavy-duty hook, it now earns official RIAA recognition as a major milestone for the emerging Atlanta-based talent.
First sharing the news on Instagram, BRELAND captioned “WOW. My debut single. I know I usually hit y’all with the long captions but all I can say this time is thank you so much ️
The first of many.”
“My Truck” is part of the multi-talented singer-songwriter’s self-titled EP debut (released in May), which delivered five more genre-defying tracks plus the infectious “My Truck” remix featuring Sam Hunt – all of which he co-wrote.
Stacking up buzzy collaborations with the likes of Lauren Alaina, Chase Rice and Keith Urban, BRELAND followed the EP release with the two-track Rage & Sorrow collection in honor of Juneteenth and racial-inequality protests around the nation.
Drawing praise from outlets like Forbes, The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Spin, Stereogum, USA Today and Billboard, among others, BRELAND continues to solidify his nickname as “The Pen Point Guard” and was recently featured as the latest artist on the Noisey Next list of rising stars.
“Rather than capitalize on a now-popular sound, the ‘My Truck’ singer is in it for the long haul, an artist who seems to disrupt stereotypes just by existing,” Noisey proclaims.
