Jelly Roll – Beautifully Broken arrives on black vinyl LP through Republic Records, marking a significant moment for one of the most talked-about artists working in American music today. Released in 2024, this is his tenth studio album, and it comes backed by a Grammy nomination that underlines just how far his trajectory has reached.
Who Is Jelly Roll
Jelly Roll, born Jason DeFord out of Nashville, Tennessee, has built a following by refusing to stay in one lane. His music pulls from country, rock, hip-hop, and gospel-adjacent territory, and the result is something that connects hard with audiences who feel underserved by more polished mainstream fare. He earned that Grammy nomination the honest way, through years of independent grind before major label attention caught up with what his fanbase already knew. By the time Beautifully Broken arrived, people were paying close attention.
About Jelly Roll – Beautifully Broken
This is his tenth studio album, a number worth sitting with for a moment. Ten records deep, and this one lands as his most visible work to date. The lead single “I Am Not Okay” became a genuine crossover moment, the kind of song that travels beyond the usual listening circles and finds people in places music sometimes forgets to look. The album title itself signals what Jelly Roll does best: finding something raw and honest in the middle of a mess, and turning it into something people can hold onto. The full LP format gives that material the room it deserves.
Pressing and Format Details
This copy is the standard black vinyl pressing released through Republic Records under catalog number BMG 5998832. Black vinyl done right on a major label release still delivers, and for collectors building out a complete Jelly Roll catalog or picking up their first physical copy of this record, this is the straightforward, reliable way to own it. The LP format suits the album well. These are songs that benefit from side breaks and liner time, from being played rather than streamed past. If you have been waiting to add this one to the shelf in physical form, the black vinyl pressing is the version currently available and worth having.
