Madeline Merlo, a 2x CCMA award winner and 2024 CCMA Female Artist of the Year nominee, teams up with MULTI-PLATINUM, 9x #1 hitmaker Dustin Lynch for her new release “Broken Heart Thing (feat. Dustin Lynch).” The song, the first peek into her forthcoming project ONE HOUSE DOWN (from the girl next door), explores both sides of a recent heartbreak & how they’re both still getting used to the relationship falling apart. The melancholy melody, hitting Canadian radio next week, serves up a storyline that perfectly complements the vulnerable moments captured on this recording, and is the follow-up to Merlo’s Top 5 hit “Tim + Faith”.
“I’m overjoyed to finally share ‘Broken Heart Thing (feat. Dustin Lynch)’ with the world today,” said Merlo. “A huge thank you to Dustin Lynch for lending his signature vocal to this song, one that delves into the complexities of navigating life right after a broken heart. It’s a relatable journey that I’m hoping people can find some sense of not being alone in that feeling when they hear this song.”
Merlo’s forthcoming project embodies a narrative of authenticity, vulnerability & imperfection. In “Broken Heart Thing (feat. Dustin Lynch),” you feel as if you are living the story yourself, desperately attempting to picture a new normal. The song is more than just a new track, it is a profound exploration of the aftermath of a breakup. The song delves into the dual perspectives of a relationship’s end, offering a raw and authentic portrayal of the emotional turbulence that accompanies heartbreak. The narrative is built around the universal experience of moving on from a once-promising relationship, and the poignant melancholy of adjusting to new realities.
