SOPHOMORE EP CATALYST SET FOR RELEASE DECEMBER 8TH
17 NOVEMBER 2023 (TORONTO, ON) —Today, 21-year-old singer-songwriter, Braden Bales, releases his brand-new single entitled “ME MYSELF AND YOU”. The track follows his previous single “HOSTAGE”, debut EP, NOMAD, and the incredible success of the Ontario native’s viral hit, “CHRONICALLY CAUTIOUS”, which has amassed over 37 million global streams, over 34 million total views and 3.1 million likes on TikTok. In addition to the single, Braden also announces the release date for his sophomore EP, CATALYST, which is due out on December 8th. This marks a new chapter for the rising musician, as he continues to elevate his sound and artistry. Braden proceeds to draw inspiration from first-hand experiences and emotions like stress and anxiety and the push to overcome it, with the goal of connecting with his audience on a deeply personal level. “ME MYSELF AND YOU” will be included on Braden’s upcoming EP and is available now via Geffen Records/Universal Music Canada.
Braden says about the track, “I find my value in the eyes of those around me and it has consistently affected my self-esteem in a negative way. When I found out one of my friends had been sleeping with my ex it felt like an attack on my identity. I internalized the pain and anger I felt as if it was my fault, instead of seeing the situation for what it was. It took me 3 years to write this. I needed to heal before being able to properly articulate my feelings. I finally feel like I’ve come out on the other side of the heartache. I hope that this song articulates your messiest emotions and helps you work through your struggles quicker than I did.”

About Braden Bales
Braden Bales writes thoughtful songs that deftly reflect the emotional twists and turns already he’s taken in his young life. From sleeping in his car in Los Angeles to finding community in Nashville, every experience is captured in songs like “PICK ME UP,” his new single for Geffen Records, which showcases a hard-won maturity and thoughtful vulnerability beyond his years. He infuses his songs with detailed emotion and witty observations, writing for him is a kind of therapy, a way of processing and understanding what he’s experienced so far. Braden’s most recent track, “CHRONICALLY CAUTIOUS,” has accrued more than 29.8 million streams on Spotify, connecting with fans through his emotional honesty. The track has also won him fans from the likes of Dermot Kennedy, Chelsea Cutler, Russ, and more. He sings about stress and anxiety, and the push to overcome it. Growing up in Oakville, Ontario, songwriting very quickly became an outlet for Bales. Now, he’s obsessed with the craft and he’s aware the highs of his career aren’t the big viral moments like “CHRONICALLY CAUTIOUS,” but the daily act of getting better, little by little. At the end of the day, Bales has found joy and fulfillment in sharing his songs, and therefore himself, with the world. “It’s all real. None of it’s just made up,” he explains. “Everything I write about is exactly how I feel.” With his debut EP NOMAD under his belt, along with his incredible knack for songwriting, charismatic persona, drive to succeed, and his ability to relate to his listeners, Braden Bales has found his role as one of pop’s most exciting newcomers.
