Eli Young Band just released their new single, “Break It In,” and for now, it’s not attached to a future album. The band has released four studio albums and a greatest hits package in their almost 20-year career, and Mike Eli says, “We really just feel like there are times where you spend so much energy on an entire record and then you spend the next year prepping for it. And then you get it out, and then it takes another year to get the first single up and then by the time that all that’s going down, you know, the records old. And what’s frustrating about that is that you put so much time and energy into these songs and there’s so many songs that are left behind and forgotten. So we’ve made a decision to kind of take it song by song for a little while.”
So far, eli Young Band’s plan seems to be working out. They just celebrated a #1 song with “Love Ain’t,” which was a new song on their Greatest Hits package, but was never on a prior album, and now “Break It In” is starting its climb up the charts.
