ACCLAIMED ARTIST/SONGWRITER’S BOLD NEW SOPHOMORE ALBUM ‘I HOPE THIS HELPS’ OUT NOW
Fearless storyteller Alana Springsteen wrapped her acclaimed debut ALANA SPRINGSTEEN: LIVE IN EUROPE tour this past weekend. The run kicked off on July 3 at Huercasa Country Festival in Riaza, Spain, before journeying through the UK for headline shows in Glasgow, Manchester, London and Belfast – watch her recap reel from London here. The tour wrapped with a two-night stand at Norsk Countrytreff (a Country music festival in Breim, Norway) on July 10 and 11.
The tour saw Alana playing songs from her sophomore autobiographical album I HOPE THIS HELPS which was released last month. Born from a painful but powerful moment of personal transformation, I HOPE THIS HELPS took shape as Springsteen interrogated the fear-based faith she inherited growing up and deconstructed the self-abandoning habits that long ruled her life (e.g., the reflex to keep the peace at her own expense, the tendency to make herself small for the sake of pleasing others). The result: an intimate but deeply resonant portrait of survival, healing, and the radical act of fully owning your truth.
Alana, who was born and raised in Pungo, Virginia, Springsteen’s connection to music began in church, where she first found her voice as a child. By age seven, she was teaching herself to play guitar and writing her own songs; at ten, she began traveling to Nashville for co-writing sessions with industry heavyweights. She has built her career on telling the truth, no matter how messy or hard-fought.
Across high-concept projects like her three-part debut album TWENTY SOMETHING and I HOPE THIS HELPS, the 25-year-old artist-songwriter has carved out a vital space for raw catharsis and unfiltered reflection. A multi-instrumentalist with uncompromising vision, Springsteen plays guitar and piano throughout her albums and co-produces all her material, shaping each song with a hands-on precision that underscores her identity as both author and architect.
Since the arrival of TWENTY SOMETHING, Springsteen has embarked on her first U.S. headline run, performed at leading festivals like Stagecoach, and taken the stage at arenas across the country as support for Keith Urban‘s HIGH AND ALIVE WORLD TOUR. Along with releasing Alana Springsteen: Live from the Ryman and Alana Springsteen: Live from NPR’s Tiny Desk, she also scored her first No. 1 hit with “Hot Honey“ — a Country-Dance collaboration with multi-platinum superstar DJ/producer Tiësto.
“It’s the final tracks “black sheep” and “how to swim” that are the standouts, where she is self-assured in the lyrics and knows exactly where she wants to go.”

“I HOPE THIS HELPS proves exactly why Alana continues to establish herself as one of country music’s most exciting young artists.”

ABOUT ALANA SPRINGSTEEN:
A fearless storyteller with an unshakable sense of self, Alana Springsteen has built her career on telling the truth, no matter how messy or hard-fought. Across high-concept projects like her three-part debut album TWENTY SOMETHING and highly awaited sophomore LP I HOPE THIS HELPS (a boldly autobiographical body of work out now), the 25-year-old artist-songwriter has carved out a vital space for raw catharsis and unfiltered reflection.
A multi-instrumentalist with uncompromising vision, Springsteen plays guitar and piano throughout her albums and co-produces all her material, shaping each song with a hands-on precision that underscores her identity as both author and architect.
Rooted in Country but unbound by its edges, she pulls freely from Alt-Pop and beyond, building a sonic world as expansive as it is emotionally exacting. Born and raised in Pungo, Virginia (a one-of-a-kind region where farmland meets beach), Springsteen’s connection to music began in church, where she first found her voice as a child. By age seven, she was teaching herself to play guitar and writing her own songs; at ten, she began traveling to Nashville for co-writing sessions with industry heavyweights.
After making her landmark debut with TWENTY SOMETHING — a 2023 release featuring her GOLD-certified smash “goodbye looks good on you (feat. Mitchell Tenpenny)” — Springsteen earned massive praise from the likes of NPR (“Few artists dissect and make sense of life in your 20s quite like Alana Springsteen”) and PEOPLE (“Everything about her says she was made for this wild, breathless — and, yes, high-risk — life of an artist”). A powerhouse live performer who commands rooms of any size, she’s now headlined her own TWENTY SOMETHING TOUR; performed at major festivals like Stagecoach; toured internationally across Europe, the U.K., and Australia; and supported superstars like Luke Bryan, LANY, Keith Urban, and NEEDTOBREATHE.
With countless milestones to her name — including making her Tiny Desk debut in 2024 and scoring a No. 1 hit with “Hot Honey” (a collaboration with MULTI-PLATINUM DJ/producer Tiësto) — Springsteen’s momentum is undeniable.
