Praised by The New York Times for her “refreshing and ambitious” approach to the country genre, PLATINUM-selling artist Priscilla Block puts her trademark sass on a bold reimagination of Simon & Garfunkel’s timeless “Cecilia” with her new song “You’re Breaking My Heart (Cecilia),” out today (7.11) via Mercury Nashville.
Listen to “You’re Breaking My Heart (Cecilia)” | HERE
From Simon & Garfunkel’s 1970 GRAMMY Album of the Year-winning record ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water,’ “Cecilia” tells a story of love gone wrong; however, Block’s “You’re Breaking My Heart (Cecilia)” flips the script. Block’s version tells off the “other woman” with the hands-off-my-man attitude of Dolly Parton’s iconic, GRAMMY-nominated hit “Jolene,” in an emotional tug-of-war that’s equally playful as it is piercing.
“Some of my all-time favorite songs are modern takes on old classics, and when I heard this one, it just felt right,” says Block. “My mom grew up listening to ‘Cecilia,’ and to me, it has that same timeless pull — like a modern-day ‘Jolene.’ I hope y’all love it 🤎.”
“You’re Breaking My Heart (Cecilia)” was written by the Nashville songwriting community’s finest, including GRAMMY Songwriter of the Year Jessie Jo Dillon, Muscle Shoals-raised eight-time No.1 songwriter Chris Tompkins, 2x GRAMMY-nominated Jesse Frasure and PLATINUM-selling artist Hailey Whitters.
The track was produced by multi-PLATINUM selling, four-time GRAMMY Award-winning Record Producer and Songwriter David Garcia.
Since the release of her breakout single “Just About Over You,” Block has built a loyal following of more than 5.1 million online fans with her bubbly charisma, animated storytelling and high-energy stage presence. She has earned nominations for the ACM Awards, CMT Awards and People’s Choice Country Awards, has landed on several Artist To Watch lists, and has made appearances on The Kelly Clarkson Show, The Tamron Hall Show and The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Block is expected to announce new music in the coming weeks and will join Cole Swindell’s Happy Hour Sad Tour this fall. For a full list of tour dates, visit priscillablock.com/tour.
