Zach Bryan and Kings of Leon drop powerful new song Bowery
The 29-year-old country music star admitted it was the "honour of my life" to join forces with the indie band on the breathtaking track, showcasing the raw intensity and emotional range of Bryan and Caleb Followill's vocals.
Announcing the tune, Bryan wrote on Instagram: 'Honor of my life.'
Kings of Leon said in their own post: 'Did a song with our friend. Had fun doing it. Couldn't be more proud.'
Whether this is a standalone single is not clear, but Bryan teased that a new EP entitled Heaven On Top in coming on January 9, 2026.
In January, Bryan got Matthew McConaughey to announce his "final major label album" and an accompanying film titled Motorbreath.
The superstar has one last album to release under his contract with Warner Music – which has released his music via his Belting Bronco imprint since 2022 – and he recruited the Hollywood star to record a voice note in his soothing Southern accent to tease the upcoming projects.
Dallas Buyers Club star Matthew, 55, said in a clip posted to Bryan's Instagram: "This is not a film about a band.
'This is a film about a boy from Oklahoma, a boy who joined the Navy with a love of writing. That writing connected with people — a lot of people. This film is about a group of best friends taking a two-week motorcycle ride across America while recording one final major label album. Oh, and the title of the film, you ask? Motorbreath.'
Bryan also posted a preview of a track that appears to be called Birdie.
His last studio album was 2024's The Great American Bar Scene.
Meanwhile, Bryan recently upset fans of the Kansas City Chiefs.
He claimed he will "never" play Kansas City again after getting locked in a war of words with their supporters.
Bryan supports rival American football team the Philadelphia Eagles, and after irking the other side on X/Twitter, he declared he will never perform in the Missouri city.
Poking fun at the Chiefs for failing to secure three consecutive Super Bowl wins after losing to the Eagles this year , he taunted their supporters: 'Where are all the three peat people from last year :/ (sic)"
When one user called Bryan out for singling out a fan base, he responded: "Please understand I will never play in Kansas City."
He followed up with the declaration: 'I'll be about to finish my show and then get a taunting call if I play at that stadium.'
Bryan then suggested he was just having some harmless banter: "guys it's okay to talk trash to each other about football yall are weird as hell (sic)"
