Asher Angel is Ready to Go Country. "You have no idea how much of me is country." The New Era begins with his new single, "Alternate Ending," out right now. Walking the line between raw emotion and radio-ready melodies shows Angel's growth as an artist as he meditates on love, loss, and the bittersweet desire to rewrite history.

Particular, with his signature storytelling, is about the longing for heartbreak and the universal wish to rewind time. His delivery is earnest, his voice laden with nostalgia, every note a confessional from the heart.
This release is pivotal for Angel's sonic development, demonstrating his capacity to deliver music that tingles the heart and is full of traces. So as "Alternate Ending" starts popping up on playlists and airwaves, one thing is sure Asher Angel is not only telling his story, he's singing ours too.
