Breakout Country Voice Brittney Spencer Returns With New Single “Sober Thoughts”
(June 5, 2026) Acclaimed country artist Brittney Spencer releases a brand-new track, “Sober Thoughts,” and an accompanying visual, out now via MNRK Nashville. The track marks her first new release since her celebrated 2024 debut album My Stupid Life.
Produced by Jarrad K, “Sober Thoughts” captures the tension between vulnerability and courage, exploring how a little liquid confidence can bring buried feelings to the surface.
Showcasing Brittney Spencer’s vivid, honest storytelling and genre-spanning influences while remaining unmistakably country at its core, My Stupid Life received wide acclaim for its unflinching look at the small, everyday truths people face just to get through life.
Rolling Stone wrote that it’s “one of the more convincing country statements in some time,” while Holler Country said it is “a thoughtful and curated collection of songs.”
Since the release of My Stupid Life, Brittney had a standout feature on Beyoncé’s reimagining of “Blackbird” from her Grammy-winning album Cowboy Carter and has shared stages with some of Country and Americana’s most iconic names, including The Chicks, The Highwomen, Willie Nelson, Chris Stapleton, Carrie Underwood, Brandi Carlile, Marcus King, and Bob Weir, and has appeared at major festivals including CMA Fest, Stagecoach, ACL, and Essence Festival, along with a Hyde Park set opening for Bruce Springsteen.
