SOPHOMORE ALBUM HEAVY ON THE SOUL DUE OUT 3/27
—
BREAKOUT PHENOMENON NOW GEARING UP FOR C2C DEBUT,
INTERNATIONAL TOUR AS SUPPORT FOR LUKE COMBS
| NASHVILLE, TENN. (February 27, 2026) — Today, 18-year-old breakout star Ty Myers shares a bittersweet anthem for restless hearts everywhere with his new song “Morning Comes,” out now via RECORDS Nashville/Columbia. Accompanied by an official visualizer, the R&B-tinged track is set to appear on the singer/songwriter/guitarist’s upcoming sophomore album Heavy On The Soul (due out March 27). Go here to listen to “Morning Comes,” check out the official visualizer here, and pre-order/pre-save Heavy On The Soul here. Produced by Brandon Hood and recorded at the historic FAME Recording Studios in Muscle Shoals, AL, “Morning Comes” tells the story of an after-hours romance between two people whose emotional intentions don’t align. With his signature mix of stark self-awareness and gritty sensitivity, Myers perfectly captures the push-and-pull between longing for connection and unequivocally craving the no-strings freedom of total independence. “‘Morning Comes’ is my favorite song I’ve written and recorded so far,” the Texas-bred musician reveals. “Some of my favorite lines I’ve ever written live in this one, and the story it tells hits close to home.” Written by Myers and Scooter Carusoe, “Morning Comes” immediately draws the listener into the passion-dazed haze of a late-night entanglement (from the first verse: “With closing time closing in / We’re curbside, taxi cab, diving in / Making out to a dashboard song / Tipping that driver to take the long way home”). With its understated arrangement of drifting guitar tones, smoldering horns, and gently pulsing rhythms, the song shifts into a devastating directness at the chorus (“’Cause when the morning comes / I’ll be gone / And you can tell your friends / That I did you wrong / And they’ll all hate me / But I can’t say I disagree / This kinda life is meant for being free / And love ain’t all it’s cracked up to be”). Thanks to the soulful restraint of Myers and his fellow musicians — including A-listers like guitarist Tom Bukovac (Glen Campbell, Vince Gill), steel guitarist Bruce Bouton (George Strait, Emmylou Harris), keyboardist Gordon Mote (Brad Paisley, Hank Williams, Jr.) — “Morning Comes” ultimately builds a potent tension that makes Myers’ unflinching honesty all the more powerful. Directed by John Park, the visualizer for “Morning Comes” adds another layer to the song’s melancholy mood. After following Myers as he rides alone in a taxi on a rainy New York night, the cinematic but deeply intimate visual finds him on the banks of the East River on a gray and gloomy morning, singing to the camera with an aching intensity. |
| Along with “Morning Comes” and “Message to You,” Heavy On The Soul will feature the previously released “Two Trains (feat. Marcus King),” “Leaving Carolina,” “Through a Screen,” and “Come On Over, Baby.” As he gears up for the album’s arrival, Myers will make his international debut by performing at C2C: Country to Country 2026 in Rotterdam (March 7), Berlin (March 8), London (March 13), Belfast (March 14), and Glasgow (March 15). Soon after his C2C run (including a performance at London’s iconic O2 arena), he’ll take the stage at stadiums across North America and Europe as support for Luke Combs’ MY KINDA SATURDAY NIGHT TOUR (kicking off on March 21 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas) and make his highly awaited debut at Stagecoach (on April 26 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, CA).

Tonight at Township Auditorium in Columbia, SC, Myers will wrap up his wildly successful The Select Tour — a SOLD-OUT headline run whose itinerary was expanded multiple times in response to major fan demand. The 73-date trek launched just before the release of The Select, a widely acclaimed LP that delivered the PLATINUM-certified Billboard Hot 100 hits “Ends of the Earth” and “Thought It Was Love” and inspired Rolling Stone to hail Myers as “the next face of country music.” |
