Andy Frasco & The U.N. have released Growing Pains (Deluxe) an expanded edition of Frasco’s most recent album, arriving on January 23, 2026. New single “Heavy Heart” is out now that “deepens the emotional arc of the original album.”

Frasco says:

‘Heavy Heart’ is about the people who are always putting others before themselves. They suppress their sadness because they don’t want to be a burden, and often let their past weigh them down. You gotta let the past go to finally move on.

The deluxe record also includes November’s single “Tumbleweed”, featuring vocals from Southern Rock & Blues artist JJ Grey.

Growing Pains (Deluxe) features six bonus tracks: the two new songs (“Heavy Heart” and “Tumbleweed”) plus four acoustic renditions recorded live at Second Nature Vintage in Nashville, TN.

Frasco explains:

We had a few songs I was working on that didn’t make the deadline for Growing Pains earlier this year, but lived in the same vein. Heavy Heart and Tumbleweed are very important to the growth of my songwriting, and I wanted to make sure their home was with the Growing Pains collection. Plus, we added a few acoustic versions to spice things up and give another dimension to some of the original album tunes.
