LEAD TRACK FROM FORTHCOMING EP AVAILABLE NOW – LISTEN HERE

Nashville, Tenn. — January 23, 2026 — Willie Nelson, Ty Myers, Wade Bowen, Gavin DeGraw, Redferrin, Needtobreathe, and Lukas Nelson are just a fraction of the acts who have recognized Brooke Lee’s outstanding artistry. From inviting her to open shows to collaborating in song, Brooke’s standout songwriting skills and electrifying live shows are earning attention and elevating her to a whole new echelon. 
 
Her newest single, “Burn To Black,” the lead track from her forthcoming sophomore EP, is available today, January 23, on Spirit Nashville Recordings/2Mix Music. Brooke will perform the song on tour with Needtobreathe next month.
 
“Will I ever be able to effortlessly love again?” is the vulnerable question that led Brooke, Jon Nite and Danielle Blakey to bare their hearts in writing “Burn To Black.” The song insistently explores the ache of your first love, the unforgettable memories, and the heartbreak that lingers long after. It’s a reflection on that intense time and the way those moments stay with you.

“Your first love is intense, and so is the heartbreak. It leaves a mark that lingers long after, creeping back whenever you try to open your heart again,” shares Lee. “‘Burn To Black’ isn’t a break up song, or a miss you song. It’s not an I’m moving on or I found somebody new song. It’s one I wrote from a place of confusion when I got back in the dating world. Memories, boundaries, wants, and needs. Finding it all again.”
 

We drank your daddy’s whiskey
I swam in my mama’s dress
So good that it almost killed me
And now I can’t
Love like that
We fell too fast
When you burn like that
You burn to burn to
Burn to black
