Jason Aldean surprised country listeners by finally teaming up with his wife Brittany for a studio recording, marking a decade-plus milestone in their relationship.
The Duet That Almost Never Happened
“Easier Gone” captures the sting of bumping into an ex at a bar. Jason opens the song wishing the woman were “just another stranger,” while the chorus finds both spouses trading lines about how much simpler heartbreak felt when distance kept memories at bay.
The release ends years of fan requests for a joint track. Jason confirmed the demand on Instagram:
> “You guys have been asking for a duet for a while, and it’s finally here.”
Two days earlier, Brittany teased the drop in a short clip, toasting “to the new year” while hinting that “something special” was on the way.
Brittany’s Musical Roots
Before family life, Brittany competed on season 11 of American Idol and reached Hollywood Week. She stepped back from performing after marrying Jason in 2015, choosing to focus on raising their two children-Memphis, 8, and Navy, 6-and helping parent his daughters Keeley, 22, and Kendyl, 18, from a previous marriage.
The couple occasionally still sings together at home. Last September they posted a tribute cover of Luke Bryan’s “Drink a Beer” dedicated to activist Charlie Kirk after his reported assassination attempt.
What’s Next for Jason
“Easier Gone” joins two additional new tracks-“What’s a Little Heartache” and “Her Favorite Color”-all bound for the LP Songs About Us on April 26.
Key Takeaways
- First official Jason-Brittany duet after 12 years of marriage
- Three new songs released Jan. 9 ahead of the April album
- Brittany previously competed on American Idol 2012
- The couple share two children plus two stepchildren
Country radio now has a fresh Aldean love story to spin-one that finally includes both of their voices.
