…”mixes his signature blues-influenced howl with doses of gospel and country” – Rolling Stone Country
…”his voice stands above all others in the field. Quite simply, Marc Broussard is the reason they invented soul music.” PerformerMag.com
Renowned, “Bayou Soul” singer-songwriter, Marc Broussard announces his new studio album, Easy To Love, to be released on September 15th. Today, Marc Broussard has unveiled his brand new single, “Don’t Be Afraid To Call Me.” CLICK HERE to listen exclusively on Rolling Stone Country.
Broussard says, “We’ve all got friends we don’t talk to anymore, for one reason or another. Sometimes, the reason may be completely justifiable. Sometimes we just grow apart naturally. Whatever the case may be, I think most people can relate to that feeling of wishing you could hear from someone you once cherished as a close confidant, hoping they wouldn’t hesitate to call if they really needed you.”
Marc says, “With Easy To Love, I feel as if I’m back at the beginning of this journey, at least partially. We’ve got all the excitement that I can remember having around my first big record, but we know so much more now than we did back then. This record was a joy to create. The process was unlike any other I’ve ever been a part of. It was almost guerrilla-style; recording whenever we could get some time, working across thousands of miles, saving up money to get in the studio one more time. It all feels like art again! Anyways, it was a profound pleasure to breathe life into these songs. The support team I had in place to make this album, from musicians to engineers and cowriters, continue to prove themselves to be some of the most gifted in all of music. I consider myself extremely lucky to work with them all. Enjoy!”
He continues about the song “Don’t Be Afraid To Call Me,” saying, “We’ve all got friends we don’t talk to anymore, for one reason or another. Sometimes, the reason may be completely justifiable. Sometimes we just grow apart naturally. Whatever the case may be, I think most people can relate to that feeling of wishing you could hear from someone you once cherished as a close confidant, hoping they wouldn’t hesitate to call if they really needed you.”
Easy to Love is the collection of Marc’s signature powerful soul voice but now with even more roots and Americana sound that will have listeners dive deeper into Marc’s southern upbringing.

He is that rare artist who can change the world through the power of his songs. I could not be more excited to have him join the Round Hill Music family.”
