Kissel Earns 20Th Career Top Ten Radio Hit And Releases New Song ‘Heart To Forget’
KISSEL EARNS 20TH CAREER TOP TEN RADIO HIT WITH RECENT SINGLE “COWBOYS AND DREAMERS”
August 29, 2025 (Toronto, ON) — Multi-platinum, 3x JUNO Award-winning country entertainer Brett Kissel returns with a brand-new single, “Heart To Forget” – a strikingly raw and vulnerable track that captures Kissel at his most open and unguarded. Available for streaming today, the song finds the celebrated country artist stripping back his larger-than-life energy to deliver one of his most heartfelt performances to date. Listen to “Heart To Forget” HERE.
Charged with aching honesty, “Heart To Forget” paints the unshakable picture of a love that lingers long after it’s gone. Written by Casey Brown, Parker Welling, and Ilsey Juber, the track blends tender storytelling with a soaring chorus that latches onto the heartstrings. Set against a backdrop of steady rhythms and warm, atmospheric guitars, Kissel’s voice carries both grit and fragility – pulling listeners into the very centre of heartbreak.
“Powerful lyrics, powerful melody, and a powerful message – that’s what makes a heartbreak song get you,” Kissel shares. “This one was tough to sing in the studio, and even tougher to sing in the music video. But that’s country music, right? This genre sure knows how to pull on all the right strings.”
The release of “Heart To Forget” comes on the heels of another milestone summer for Kissel. In addition to recently receiving six CCMA Award nominations (Fans’ Choice, Album of the Year, Single of the Year, Male Artist of the Year, Video of the Year, and Country Music Program/Special of the Year), his latest single “Cowboys and Dreamers” has officially cracked the Top 10 at Canadian country radio, marking his 20th career Top 10 hit. Lifted from his most recent album, Let Your Horses Run, the track has solidified the project as one of the most defining of his career.
With “Heart To Forget,” Kissel continues to expand the emotional reach of his music, proving that his strength as an artist lies not only in his showmanship but also in his ability to dig deep, embrace vulnerability, and connect through unflinching truth. As he dives further into his newest chapter, Kissel reaffirms his place as one of country music’s most dynamic and versatile voices.
