Blues-rock powerhouse Joe Bonamassa has officially released his brand-new studio album Breakthrough, out today via J&R Adventures. Marking his most stylistically diverse and emotionally resonant effort to date, the 10-track LP spans genre and geography, blending global influences with deeply personal songwriting and, of course, Bonamassa’s signature guitar mastery.
To coincide with the album launch, Bonamassa has also released the record’s latest single, “Broken Record” – a haunting, slow-burning meditation on resilience, reflection, and the emotional weight of long roads travelled. With its brooding arrangement and introspective lyrics, the track reveals another side of Bonamassa’s ever-evolving artistry: “I’ve been lost in the wilderness / For too long, too long / Singing the same old song.”

“Broken Record” follows a series of well-received singles that offered a preview of the album’s dynamic range. The title track “Breakthrough” is a soulful, anthemic statement about transformation and letting go. “Shake This Ground” took a moodier, more introspective turn, while “Still Walking With Me” delivered a warm, reflective groove rooted in gratitude. Most recently, “Trigger Finger” turned up the volume with fiery guitar work and a fierce, forward-driving attitude. Across the board, Breakthrough is being recognized as a defining statement from an artist still expanding his reach nearly four decades into his career.
