NASHVILLE, TENN. (July 28, 2023) – 32 Bridge Entertainment / EMI Records Nashville recording artist Jon Langston is announcing his debut full-length album, Heart On Ice, out everywhere September 8 and available to pre-order now. Ahead of the release, Langston is sharing the project’s title track. Listen to “Heart On Ice” here. Surprising fans with the announcement last night, Langston revealed the album’s track list and title with a self-penned poem and cryptic trailer after weeks of anticipation.
Personal and introspective, 11 of the album’s 14 tracks were penned by Langston, with production by Jody Stevens, Brad Wagner and Jacob Rice. Previously released tracks “Whiskey Does” and “Ain’t No Cowboy” are featured on Heart On Ice, along with a guest appearance from Langston’s fellow Georgia native Travis Denning on “I ain’t Country.”
Langston shares, “Finally. It’s time. My debut album. This album tells the story of my life the past 10 years. What I’ve been going through, and how I’ve grown in my life.
