BELLES Gears Up For October Release Of Debut Album ‘Midwestern’

July 31, 2026/by Lorie Hollabaugh

BELLES will release her debut album Midwestern via East Music Row Records on Oct. 16. She dropped a new track from the project, “Hell I Won’t,” today (July 31).

“‘Hell I Won’t’ is about finally learning your lesson and refusing to go back to the kind of guy who only brings heartbreak. It’s a sassy, tongue-in-cheek prayer to make it out of the bar—and go home alone,” says BELLES of the new single.

Midwestern is a collection of stories about chasing dreams, falling in and out of love, and staying grounded in your roots. Songs on the new project include her viral hit “Son of Jolene,” which is currently impacting country radio, “Halfway to the Opry,” a deeply personal anthem about perseverance, pursuing a dream, and the journey to finding her place on the iconic stage, and “I Think You Like My Boyfriend (a little too much).”

The album announcement followed BELLES’ Grand Ole Opry debut, where, according to Opry records, she became the first woman from Nebraska to step into the circle. BELLES is currently on the road for her 45-city “Songs & Stories Tour.”
