ZACH BRYAN ANNOUNCES NEW EP ‘YOUNG MANHOOD AND OTHER DONATABLE ORGANS’ – OUT OCTOBER 16TH
Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer Zach Bryan returns with the new EP Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs, this Friday, October 16, via Warner Records. Bryan has teased new songs throughout the summer and now the much anticipated eight-song set marks Bryan’s first new music since his chart-topping January 2026 album With Heaven On Top and its stripped-down counterpart, With Heaven On Top (Acoustic), which arrived three days later.
Led by the Lana Del Rey duet “Lies,” Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs highlights Bryan’s ever-evolving maturation — and unpredictability — as an artist in real time. The EP also includes favorites from his live show like “Robot Killed The Working Man” and “Backwards,” as well as the rumored collaboration with fellow Oklahomans Turnpike Troubadours on “Plainsman.”
The upcoming project is another entry in a banner year for Bryan. With Heaven On Top, his sixth studio album, entered the Billboard 200 at #1 in the U.S. and Canada, and topped Billboard’s Top Streaming Albums chart. The 25-song album included, among other fan-favorites, “Say Why,” “Bad News,” and the reflective “Plastic Cigarette,” which peaked at #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 as well as #2 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. All 25 songs from the album have charted.
Since then, Bryan has been on the road touring stadiums across North America and Europe. On October 3, he broke yet another attendance record — this time for the most-attended event of any kind at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts, performing for 73,538 fans. It was the culmination of a nearly year-long tour that led The Boston Globe to observe, “Bryan brings the grit of a working man to the stage, letting the music feel raw, unpolished and intensely authentic.” The Guardian noted; “Bryan challenges country’s macho messaging in emotional songs of breakups, addiction and pain, lapped up by a charmed stadium-filled fanbase.”
With Heaven On Top, which was recorded by Bryan and his friends last winter in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was Bryan’s second #1 release to hit the Billboard 200. His previous album, 2024’s The Great American Bar Scene, reached #2 on its second week, while 2022’s American Heartbreak started at #5 before notching the most streams of any country album in a single day that year on Spotify and Apple Music.
With his 2023 self-titled album, Bryan joined the likes of Taylor Swift, Drake, BTS and Future, becoming the fifth artist in history to simultaneously land a #1 debut on the Billboard 200 album chart and a #1 debut on the Hot 100 songs chart — with “I Remember Everything” featuring Kacey Musgraves. Released only a month later, Bryan’s five-song Boys Of Faith EP nabbed #8 on the Billboard 200.
In just seven years, Bryan, one of the most prolific and fastest rising artists of all time, has logged an incredible collection of RIAA certifications for his authentic songs, with 66 Gold records, 34 Platinum or Multi-Platinum records, and the Diamond-certified (10M sales units) singles “I Remember Everything,” and “Something In The Orange,” which has sold more than 15 million song equivalent units to date.
Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs is the next step in this journey, a gift from a songwriter who has fully come into his own, one record at a time, creating music that transcends any one genre, category or style. Click HERE to pre-order the EP.
