The song is the latest from Beautifully Broken
Jelly Roll impacts country radio with the powerful “Heart of Stone.” The third single from his critically acclaimed sophomore country album, Beautifully Broken, the vulnerable new song finds a man pleading for redemption and rescue from his past mistakes. Following the album’s previous chart-toppers, like the beautifully crafted “I Am Not Okay” and the fiery “Liar” that dominated the country radio chart for six-straight weeks, the spurring “Heart of Stone” was written by Jelly with Zach Crowell, Blake Pendergrass and Shy Carter.
The impassioned lyrics behind the unmistakable Jelly Roll track are equal parts emotively stirring and hauntingly relatable, singing: “I’m wide awake and I’m dreaming / Wonderin’ where and when I fell apart / Oh, I fell apart / I had enough of my demons / Angels only meet you where you are / And I’m in the dark / Least for now, Lord, I ain’t losin’ hope / That somehow you can make a heart of gold / From this heart of stone.”
Most recently, the multi-genre superstar notched his seventh country radio No. 1 and ninth overall and was one of the iconic entertainers who performed for Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary concert, SNL50, live from Radio City. Additionally, he’s set to be the upcoming Artist in Residence mentor on ABC’s American Idol and will make his acting debut in the CBS drama, Fire Country, on April 11th. The ACM Entertainer of the Year nominee will next headline 2025’s Stagecoach Festival in April. Ahead of the 60th ACM Awards in May, Jelly will host the Opry NextStage Live from Texas show.
