NASHVILLE, Tenn. (April 24, 2026) – QHMG / Quartz Hill Records’ soulful country-pop duo, 2 Lane Summer, today released their debut full-length album, Flawless, available now across all digital retail and streaming partners. A feel-good collection of 12 uplifting songs, Flawless celebrates the healing power of romantic, brotherly and Godly love.

Produced by Ash Bowers (Matt Stell’s multi-Platinum No. 1 “Prayed for You”), the project marries raw, honest emotion with clean, bright, country-pop sheen and the smooth, trademark vocal harmonies of 2 Lane Summer’s Joe Hanson and Chris Ray that Billboard describes as “bold and beautiful.”

STREAM / LISTEN TO the Flawless album HERE.

“On our new record, Flawless, there’s a common thread of positivity and encouragement running through the songs, whether it’s a love song, a life song, or a faith song,” says Hanson. “When people listen to this album, we want it to leave them in a more positive state of mind.”

“We named the album Flawless because we all have insecurities and, being human, we all struggle with that,” says Ray. “But we want to uplift people with this album and want people to know we’re right there with you. So keep your head up and keep your chin up, because there’s light at the end of the tunnel.”

The album’s title and focus track, “Flawless,” is an uplifting, sanguine love song, centered around a man’s heartfelt promise to always speak the truth that his woman is beautiful, even when she feels like the mirror—and the world—are telling her differently:

Even when you don’t feel enough

Even when you don’t see beautiful

There’s not a day I don’t think you’re perfectly made

Even when the world makes you doubt

And it gets ya feelin down

Honey you should know

You’ve always been and you always will be

Flawless to me

Hanson and Ray penned “Flawless” with Houston Phillips (Jason Aldean’s “Ride All Night”) and Kyle Schlienger (Brett Young’s Diamond-certified No. 1 “In Case You Didn’t Know”).

Hanson and Ray—whose friendship first began in a Nashville writers’ room—co-wrote nine of the 12 tracks on their debut album, working alongside some of Music City’s finest established and emerging songwriters.

Album highlights include “Known for Loving You,” an upbeat, roll-the-windows-down groove worthy of any summertime road-trip playlist. The song is a modern pop-country serenade detailing the main character’s desire to let their loved one know they’re the best part of their every day.

“Life is Good” is a bright, banjo-driven singalong song about counting blessings, keeping the faith and seeing the sunshine behind life’s clouds. “Made by Him” is a different kind of love song, giving thanks for the unwavering love that God shows every one of us, even when we lose our way.

The album’s other previously unreleased tracks include “Chances,” an intimate, piano-led ballad that showcases the subtle precision of 2 Lane Summer’s signature harmonies. The song acknowledges that, while there may be uncertainties along the way, starting a new life with someone you love is worth the journey.

Album closer “Keeps Me Falling” is a vivacious, up-tempo celebration of all the things that keep someone falling in love with their significant other, time and time again. The danceable, feel-good anthem contains stunning lyrics that paint a picture of an everlasting love story born—and existing—underneath the stars.

Praised by SiriusXM Canada’s Eric Alper for “proving that great music, true stories ... still make for the best kind of love song,” 2 Lane Summer released their debut EP, The Love Songs, shortly after signing with Quartz Hill Records last year. Since then, the viral duo has received a steady stream of requests to perform at fans’ weddings—and even engagement proposals—across the U.S.

In an era of troubling news headlines and polarized politics, 2 Lane Summer’s dependable message of positivity, faith, friendship and love is resonating strongly with the public. The duo continues to amass a fast-growing fan base, which now includes more than 800,000 social media followers and a music catalog surpassing 20 million streams.

ABOUT 2 LANE SUMMER

Joe Hanson and Chris Ray may have taken different roads to Nashville—Joe migrating south from Illinois and Chris heading north from Mississippi—but when they started crossing paths in Music Row writing rooms, the fast friends soon realized how much they had in common. Both were multi-instrumentalists who’d grown up singing in church and with a musical DNA that also incorporated country and soulful pop. When Joe and Chris began to harmonize vocally, the power, precision and emotional impact of that blend quickly revealed that these two men were born to sing together. Converging as 2 Lane Summer, the duo had already built a strong fan base on social media before signing with Quartz Hill Records. 2 Lane Summer’s debut album, Flawless—a feel-good collection of uplifting songs celebrating the healing power of romantic, brotherly and Godly love—is available now.
