Gunnar and Matthew Nelson have released “Easy Money,” the opening track from Amazing, their first Nelson studio album since 2015’s Peace Out. The 12-song record arrives March 19, 2027, through Frontiers Music. A music video accompanies the single.

Gunnar Nelson produced the album. He describes “Easy Money” as a song about what someone gives up when money or fame becomes more important than their principles. The brothers also wrote two songs with Jim Peterik: the title track and “Avalanche.”

Guitarist Joel Hoekstra is among the guest players. Gunnar shared mixing duties across the record with Chris Lord-Alge, Jay Ruston and Stephen DeAcutis. Find “Easy Money” and the full Amazing track list on Qobuz.
