It was released on February 24, 2017, through Capitol Nashville. BackgroundDuring a press conference at the Ryman Auditorium in November 2016, Little Big Town announced the album's title.[1] Taylor Swift single-handedly wrote the album's lead single, "Better Man", about the ending of a past relationship with a significant other. Swift claimed that she thought of Little Big Town and their trademark harmony vocals and subsequently sent the song to the group.[2]PromotionTo help promote The Breaker, Little Big Town had a residency at the Ryman Auditorium, titled Little Big Town at the Mother Church, and began it the day of the album's release. The band originally announced six performances at the auditorium between February and September before announcing three additional shows with plans to announce more throughout the year. They also announced a six date UK tour.[3] "Happy People" was released as the first promotional single on February 3, 2017. "We Went to the Beach" was released as the second promotional single on February 10, 2017. "When Someone Stops Loving You" was released as the third and final promotional single on February 17, 2017. To promote the album, Little Big Town embarked on The Breakers Tour which began on September 28, 2017 in the UK and concluded on May 5, 2018 in Atlanta. Opening acts included Seth Ennis, Kacey Musgraves and Midland. The band will also headline the Country to Country festival as part of the tour, where they will be joined by Midland, Margo Price and Emmylou Harris. Singles"Better Man", the lead single from The Breaker, was released on October 20, 2016, and has sold 437,000 copies in the US as of February 2017.[4] It peaked at number 1 on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts.[5] The song was written by Taylor Swift. "Happy People" was released to country radio on April 3, 2017 as the second official single.[6] It reached a peak of number 46 on the Country Airplay chart, becoming their lowest-peaking single to date. "When Someone Stops Loving You" was released to radio on June 26, 2017 as the third official single.[7] Critical reception{{Album ratings| MC = 78/100[8] | rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = {{Rating|4|5}}[8] | rev2 = Entertainment Weekly | rev2Score = A–[9] | rev3 = Paste | rev3Score = 7.7/10[10] | rev4 = Rolling Stone | rev4Score = {{Rating|3|5}}[11] }}The Breaker received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has an average score of 78 based on 4 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews."[12]Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic rated the album four out of five stars and states, "Little Big Town cherish the gentler moments, and this ease with sensitivity turns The Breaker into something of a quiet triumph: it's intended as a balm, and it succeeds."[8] Accolades
