The Midnight release the romantic and moving ballad “Heart Worth Breaking” today. The new single tells a smalltown love story of a young couple with their lives ahead of them and is the first ballad to be released from the band’s forthcoming new LP Heroes – due out September 9th via Counter Records. “Heart Worth Breaking” follows a series of rousing singles including the infectious “Brooklyn. Friday. Love.,” the transcendent “Avalanche,” the electrifying “Heartbeat,” and the propulsive “Change Your Heart or Die” – exemplifying that the album’s massive highs are matched with emotive ballads that offer evocative real-life vignettes. Spanning 13 tracks, Heroes is a striking patchwork of portraits—and it will all come together when it comes alive.
The Midnight was started by Southern-born, Atlanta based singer/songwriter Tyler Lyle and Denmark-born, LA based drummer and producer Tim McEwan. Throughout the new album the duo excels at creating memorable songs with massive synths and singalong choruses that immediately resonate. Their expansion to a five-piece band with the addition of Lelia Broussard on bass, Royce Whittaker on guitar, and Justin Klunk on saxophone and synth has given the group the ability to realize their potential both on live and on record. Heroes was produced by The Midnight’s own McEwan and was mixed by Ingmar Carlson (Tate McCrae, Disclosure, Carly Rae Jepsen).
The band recently toured across the UK and Ireland this summer, selling out shows in Dublin, Glasgow and London’s Brixton Academy. It marked their third ever London show, previously selling out the Roundhouse, with The Express insisting that they are "without question, one of the next iconic rock acts of the generation” in their glowing review.
