Porter finds "Nobody's Born With A Broken Heart,"

Friday, January 26, 2024 – Canadian singer MacKenzie Porter, who had a six-week chartopper, "Thinking 'Bout You," with Dustin Lynch, will make her Big Loud Records with 19-track debut album six years in the making, "Nobody's Born With A Broken Heart," on April 26.

Porter grew up on a cattle and bison ranch outside of Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada, influenced by '90s country played by her fathe.

"Nobody's born with a broken heart," said Porter. "We all start with the naivety and innocence of youth, but then life happens. There are so many circumstances and events in a lifetime that can slowly chip away at your heart, and in the end you're this beautiful, imperfect, cracked, mess. But isn't that what living really is? If you didn't have the grit, would you really know the grace? This is what this record is about. These songs are those moments in my life."

Porter previews the album with four new songs out today: "Easy To Miss," "Pay Me Back In Change," "Young At Heart," and the the title track.

"Easy to Miss" is an uptempo song where Porter grapples with the uphill battle of getting over a breakup. Written by Hillary Lindsey, Emily Warren and Will Weatherly, Porter also made a video, directed by Justin Cloug.
