Morgan Evans is giving fans another taste of what’s to come on his highly anticipated sophomore album with the release of the hauntingly beautiful “Two Broken Hearts,” featuring the talented Laci Kaye Booth.

The newly released duet was written by Evans alongside Fraser Churchill and dives into the all-too-relatable story of two people who have been heartbroken and find their way to each other. They’re still on their healing journeys, but they find comfort in one another. They admit, “There’s nothing left of you / Left for me, left of me / That could be yours,” yet they hold onto the hope that they can navigate the pain together. Still, they acknowledge they’re not in a place to fully commit to each other…at least not yet.

“Two Broken Hearts find their way to each other/ Feeling their way through the dark/ Two Broken Hearts healing under the covers/ To keep them from falling apart/ Sometimes where it ends is where love starts again/ But we both know that ain’t where we are/ Just two broken hearts/ Two broken hearts,” they sing on the chorus. 

“Two Broken Hearts” features minimal production, with harmonica, gentle guitar plucks, and subtle percussion supporting their voices.

Though the song wasn’t originally written as a duet, Evans said it became one after he realized Laci Kaye Booth was the perfect voice for it.

“This song still hits me like the day I wrote it,” Evans shared. “It wasn’t written as a duet, but Lace’s voice took it somewhere I couldn’t have imagined on my own.” 

Evans and Booth aren’t just duet partners: they’re a real-life couple. They often share sweet moments and travel photos together on social media, and they even made their red carpet debut at the CMA Awards in November. Maybe that’s why the emotion in “Two Broken Hearts” hits so deeply: their chemistry is undeniable.

“Two Broken Hearts” joins “Beer Back Home” as the latest preview of Morgan Evans’ upcoming sophomore album, Steel Town, arriving March 20. Written during a reflective stretch in his hometown of Newcastle, Australia, the album captures Morgan tapping into a deep well of creativity. That time back home helped reset him and brought him back to Nashville with a renewed passion for making songs that connect with listeners around the world.
