Morgan Nagler debuts video for “Heartbreak City”

Morgan Nagler has shared new single, “Heartbreak City,” the track is off the artist’s debut album, I’ve Got Nothing to Lose, and I’m Losing It, out March 13th via Little Operation Records. “Heartbreak City” arrives with a video directed by Christian Stavros and Austin Nagler. Nagler will play a Los Angeles record release show on March 12th at Permanent Records Roadhouse. Later this month, she will support Mount Eerie in Los Angeles, and this spring, she will support King Tuff on his North American tour.
“Although the entire song is mostly metaphor, the meaning is painfully obvious,” Nagler explains. “In the present moment, I can’t help but assign new meaning to this song as I stand with Minneapolis and every single heartbroken city right now in America as we witness and collectively experience the grief and total outrage of the shockingly inhumane, cold blooded, fascist, racist, murderous oppression. And for every other heartbroken city experiencing war, starvation, and endless horror on this planet, my great hope is for the pendulum to swing in the exact opposite direction. And I know in my heart it is possible.”
Nagler has co-written with Phoebe Bridgers (on the Grammy-nominated “Kyoto”), Margo Price, Kim Deal, HAIM and beyond. After putting her projects, Whispertown and Supermoon, on the backburner while building new muscles as a collaborator, she realized that she still had her own stories aching to get out.
In early 2024, on the precipice of the devastating break-up of her engagement, Nagler turned to her guitar to sing her grief, and once she’d opened that channel, the ideas came rushing through like an emotional tsunami. She soon amassed dozens of songs, and as raw and vulnerable as the process was, Nagler felt more like herself than ever. She soon collaborated with co-producer Kyle Thomas (aka King Tuff) to develop the songs that best represented this new phase in her artistry. They recorded in Los Angeles in 2024 and 2025 with Nagler enlisting a stellar backing band, including Thomas on guitar, backing vocals from Allison Crutchfield, Madi Diaz and Bethany Cosentino, Gabe Noel (Kamasi Washington, Kendrick Lamar) on bass, Courtney Barnett, Meg Duffy and Harrison Whitford on guitars, and Josh Adams (Cat Power, Weyes Blood) on drums.
