Zach Bryan is releasing a song with Lana Del Rey this week.
The country superstar has joined forces with the Video Games hitmaker on the track Lies on his upcoming EP Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs, out Friday (16.10.26).
The eight-track collection also features the country collective Turnpike Troubadours on the tune Plainsman.
Zach shared to Instagram: “Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs is everywhere this Friday, October 16th…Love you guys very much and hope you enjoy it…Thanks for a great year on the road.”
On his Instagram Story, the musician explained that he was inspired to make the EP after watching the 2016 neo-noir psychological thriller Nocturnal Animals “a few years ago”.
Earlier this year, the artist recorded an acoustic version of his latest LP With Heaven On Top to silence any critics who felt it was “over produced”.
In a post on Instagram at the time, he explained: “I’m assuming this record is just like all the other ones and there’s gonna be a billion people saying it’s over produced and s**** so I sat down in a room by myself and recorded all the songs acoustically so I didn’t have to hear everyone whine about more stuff.
“There’s mistakes and I didn’t redo any of them but this’ll be out three days after With Heaven On Top drops tomorrow.”
He added in a separate post: “Acoustic version of the record drops three days after With Heaven On Top drops tomorrow. Hope you don’t hate it.”
The album featured the new track Bad News which caused a furore when a snippet was released last year.
Zach seemingly takes aim at US President Donald Trump and the divided atmosphere in the US on the track, but he previously urged the public to wait to hear the “full context” of the song before criticising it.
In a statement posted on his Instagram Story, the singer explained: “This shows you how a divisive narrative can be when shoved down our throats through social media.
“This song is about how much I love this country and everyone in it more than anything. When you hear the rest of the song, you will understand the full context that hits on both sides of the aisle.
“Everyone using this now as a weapon is only proving how devastatingly divided we all are. We need to find our way back.”
