Drew Angus tackles heartbreak in upbeat single ‘Broken Heart Last’: Listen

Drew Angus’s latest Americana Pop-Rock single, “Broken Heart Last,” takes you on a journey through the intricate landscape of heartbreak.

A collaborative effort, Angus and New York-based co-writer Matt Giella bring the catchy track to life, infusing “Broken Heart Last” with personal struggle that instantly resonates.

Vivid lyrics paint the picture of being left with just the ghost of precious memories when the exhilarating rush of love fades away.
