September 11, 2017/by Lorie Hollabaugh

“’boom!’ It’s my favorite word,” explains Hayes about the new album’s title. “It’s what I text my team every time another station adds ‘You Broke Up With Me’… It’s the first thing I say after I play a song from the album for anyone. So, it’s what we had to call the album. I’m just so excited to share another part of the story. BOOM!”
