“Onoleigh’s clear focus on what she wants to say and how she wants to say it is very impressive. I’ve loved getting to work with her in the studio as she discovers who she is even further and can’t wait to see where this song takes her,” shares Hood.
Onoleigh’s songwriting debut solidifies her place in Nashville’s inner circle with her classic, country storytelling and unapologetic vulnerability:
“I was one footstep in front of the other
Walking in every wrong way
Always right on time
Not in the right place
I was setting the world on fire
Running wild with nowhere to go
Burning time burning bridges
Lord knows this road’s been
Beautifully broken
Again and again
Beautifully broken
Torn up and bent
I was hopelessly hoping
With no way of knowing
Every right wrong turn,
Every scar I’ve earned,
Every piece of me that ripped in two
Was beautifully broken
Beautifully broken
For you.”
“Beautifully Broken is an extremely personal song about my journey to love,” says Onoleigh. “To me, the hardest part in the pursuit of finding your person is that you have to endure a lot of wrong ones first… resulting in many broken pieces to clean up along the way. This song is my anthem and a constant reminder that the road of heartbreak will eventually lead to the love of my life, and I’ll be ready for it!”
The track was produced by Brandon Hood (Sam Hunt, Rascall Flatts, Jimmie Allen) mixed by Andrew Bollman (dB Studios), and mastered by Nathan Dantzler (thehitlab.)
“Onoleigh is a born performer…her connection with her audience is genuine, soulful, and authentic. Then there’s that knock your socks off, big-time voice of hers that she delivers with emotional energy and range. She’s got it all,” shares John Oates of Hall & Oates.
Onoleigh broke onto the country music scene in 2021 with two back-to-back releases. Her first single, Ghost Stories, a tale of the modern-day struggle of being “ghosted,” was spotlighted by CMT.com after a successful premiere on SCENES Media. She followed that up with the heart-wrenching tune, Make It Hurt, written by Maren Morris, Rhett Akins, and Chris DeSefano which premiered on Taste Of Country.
Onoleigh is currently in the studio with producer Jonathan Wyndham recording her debut record.
