Award-winning multi-genre phenomenon Jelly Roll has today released his highly-anticipated album Beautifully Broken (Oct 11th) via BBR/BMG/Republic Records/Universal Music Group. The album features fan-favourite track ‘Liar‘, current US Top 5 ‘I Am Not Okay‘ and the recently released ‘Get By‘.
Taking to Instagram live on the evening of release, Jelly Roll shared, “there was a moment in the writing process of this album I quit trying to write my story and I tried to write other people’s story and it changed the entire trajectory of the album, and I hope y’all feel that when y’all take the time to listen to it.”
Jelly Roll recently performed on the season 50 premiere of Saturday Night Live on September 28th where he performed ‘Liar’ and ‘Winning Streak’ – the opening track on Beautifully Broken – available to view here. The appearance came the day after he headlined his sold-out Beautifully Broken US tour show at the iconic Madison Square Garden, which saw Post Malone, Jessie Murph and Busta Rhymes join him on stage, and the same day he headlined the Global Citizen Festival in Central Park.
Jelly Roll, who was Billboard’s Emerging Artist for a record-breaking 28 weeks also appeared on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon last week, where he performed ‘Lonely Road’ alongside mgk and Travis Barker – available to view here.

ABOUT JELLY ROLL:
Award-winning, Grammy nominated Nashville native singer/songwriter Jelly Roll (Jason DeFord) debuted Top 3 on the Billboard 200 All Genre Chart and #2 on the Top Country Album charts with his debut Country Album, Whitsitt Chapel (released June 2nd, 2023) – earning the biggest Country debut album in Billboard Consumption Chart history. Following his sweep at the 2023 CMT Music Awards where he earned three awards to become the most awarded artist of the night, the Billboard Country Power List Cover star and “country’s ‘most authentic’ new artist” (The New Yorker) received Billboard’s 2023 Breakthrough Award and the People’s Choice Award for Male Country Artist of the Year. Nominated for Best New Artist and Best Duo/Group Performance for “Save Me (with Lainey Wilson)” at the 2024 GRAMMY Awards, along with eight genre-spanning nominations at the 2024 iHeartRadio Awards and a win for best New Country and Pop artist wins, Jelly Roll is one of three artists alongside Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs to have scored three Country Airplay #1s in 2023 and the first to do it with his first three singles. He has earned four consecutive #1s to date at Country radio and is “one of Nashville’s fastest rising stars” (The New York Times). A 4X winner at the 2023 People’s Choice Country Awards and the most nominated male at the 2023 CMA Awards, with five total nominations capturing his first CMA Award for New Artist of the Year, Jelly continues to break boundaries. His #1 hit single “Save Me” — a confessional, vulnerable expression of self-doubt— set the stage for his new season of life and took him to new heights including a Platinum certification from the RIAA on the heels of his 28-week reign at No. 1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart. Most recently, “Save Me” earned Jelly his first ACM win for Music Event of the year, and he is set to release his new album Beautifully Broken on October 11 and launch his Beautifully Broken Tour on August 27th following his four consecutive #1 singles: “Halfway To Hell,” “Save Me,” “Need A Favor” and “Son of A Sinner.”
Not just an artist but a humanitarian, Jelly Roll continues to resonate with fans on a global scale while racking up numerous milestones – from playing his sold-out hometown show for 18,000 fans at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena to donating a recording studio at the juvenile detention center he served in as a teen, to the release of his record-breaking documentary by ABC News, “Save Me” – the most watched music documentary on the platform – to his visits with rehab centers and those incarcerated across the U.S. Featured by Nightline, GMA, GMA3, The New York Times, LA Times, The Tennessean, Billboard, Variety, American Songwriter, CMT and more, his self-built, unconventional industry rise and unique fan connection has garnered praise from numerous outlets, with Variety noting, “for everyone who’s facing the same struggles, Jelly Roll is their Springsteen,” and American Songwriter echoing, “with a string of accolades and an extremely dedicated following, Jelly Roll has emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.”
