Jared James Nichols<\/strong>\u2018 fourth studio album, Louder Than Fate<\/em> will arrive this June 5, 2026, via Frontiers Music SLR<\/strong>. This new album is\u00a0easily the guitarist, singer, and songwriter\u2019s most powerful and fully realized statement to date.<\/p>\n Raw, unapologetic, and deeply rooted in the lineage of blues-driven hard rock, the album captures an artist at the peak of his creative confidence, channeling grit, groove, and soul with relentless intensity.<\/p>\n Nichols<\/strong><\/strong>\u00a0had this to say about Louder Than Fate<\/em>: \u201cI\u2019m beyond excited for this record. I\u2019ve been counting down the days until its release like it\u2019s a personal holiday. If the singles are any hint for you, there are plenty of riffs ripping through the speakers like a buzz saw. But going deeper into the record, there are tons of different emotions and sounds that I have yet to explore as a singer\/songwriter. I am personally thrilled to share different shades of myself on this record, giving so much more depth and insight to the listener. Get ready for\u00a0Louder than Fate<\/em>.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201c<\/p>\n To celebrate the album\u2019s announcement,\u00a0JJN<\/strong>\u00a0is sharing the latest single, \u201cPretend,\u201d alongside a new music video, available to view below. About the track, he comments: \u201c<\/em>\u2018Pretend\u2019 hits like a live wire \u2013 gritty, pumping drums and guitar chugs that scream on the edge of chaos. Sometimes a relationship is all smoke, no fire; it\u2019s just a borrowed desire.\u201d<\/p>\n Pre-order the album here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
