  • REBA MCENTIRE PREMIERES “SOMEHOW YOU DO” MUSIC FILM DIRECTED BY JON AVNET.

    Country icon Reba McEntire is giving fans their first taste of new music in two years today with the release of the original song “Somehow You Do,” listen HERE. “Somehow You Do” was written by Diane Warren for the feature film Four Good Days and marks the third time Reba has collaborated with the award-winning songwriter following the success of “What If” in 1997 and “I’ll Be” in 2000. The song also reunites Reba with longtime producer Tony Brown.

    This stunning video, which highlights Reba among a picturesque Southern Californian backdrop, was directed by acclaimed filmmaker Jon Avnet (Fried Green Tomatoes, Risky Business, Black Swan). Fans can watch HERE.

    “Somehow You Do” is the featured track in the new motion picture Four Good Days, which opens in select theaters on April 30th. Directed by Rodrigo Garcia, Four Good Days includes knockout performances by Glenn Close and Mila Kunis.  The film had its worldwide premiere at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival. In celebration, Reba has released the official music video today.

    “It’s an honor to get to sing a Diane Warren song anytime, but then to be associated with talented actors in a movie like Glenn and Mila is just icing on the cake,” says Reba. “Add in Jon Avnet directing the video and it just doesn’t get much better!”

    “Reba’s interpretation of Diane Warren’s song was so nuanced and moving,” adds Jon. “When I was asked if I would direct the filming of it, I jumped at the opportunity.  I hoped to use the film to interpret both the song and the movie ‘Four Good Days.’  It was worth every minute in the desert working with Reba. She’s a pro’s pro and fun to boot!  And of course, this is my second go around with Diane Warren.  The first was ‘Because You Loved Me,’ that Celine Dion sung for my film ‘Up Close and Personal.’ That one worked out well and I think ‘Somehow You Do’ should as well.”

    “‘Somehow You Do’ is a song about hope, about how even through the times that are so hard and moments in your life that are so devastating, that somehow you will get through them and get to the other side,” shares Diane Warren. “It is a song about strength of the human spirit and no voice can convey that as much as Reba McEntire. She makes you feel with every note that you might think you can’t get through it, but somehow you will, and somehow you do.”

    Audio below and here.

    Today, Resorts World Las Vegas, the Strip’s highly anticipated new 3,500-room luxury destination opening June 24, unveiled an utterly extravagant introduction to the US $4.3 billion property with “Stay Fabulous,” an immersive, first-of-its-kind short film featuring Celine Dion, Carrie Underwood, Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, Tiësto and Zedd.

  • KIP MOORE ENJOYS THE “GOOD LIFE” IN FIRST NEW SINGLE OFF FORTHCOMING FIFTH STUDIO ALBUM.

    Multi-PLATINUM singer/songwriter Kip Moore dropped a brand new single, “Good Life,” available to listen here and arriving at Country Radio today. Stepping into the studio for the first time with renowned producer Jay Joyce (Eric Church, Miranda Lambert, Keith Urban), the new track sees Moore shift gears sonically for the windows-down, volume-up anthem. Co-written by Moore with Dan Couch and Joyce, “Good Life” embodies a snappy self awareness and an appreciation for living in the moment, with a soul-driven groove. The track is the first single taken from Moore’s fifth studio album, and offers a look into a new upcoming chapter from the critically-acclaimed singer/songwriter.

    “I haven’t been this fired up about new music in a good while,” shared Moore. “I’m always trying to push myself out of any comfort zones that I may have settled into during the previous project, and I think working with Jay definitely helped me with that. I wrote this song and many more while surfing this past winter and I can’t wait for the fans to hear what’s coming.”

    He adds, “The way ‘Good Life’ came about was I was actually sitting on my back deck in Maui. I’d just got done surfing and I just got done hearing one of my songs on the radio, and I had my guitar in my hand and kind of my morning ritual with coffee and I write a little bit. And I just got to thinking about the crazy ebbs and flows of the journey of where I’ve gotten and doing life by my own terms. At times I’ve been judged for that, but because I did it my way, I feel so blessed, because I’m truly finding the joy in my life and I’m loving every second of it.”

    Moore’s new single “Good Life” follows the resounding acclaim garnered for his fourth studio album, WILD WORLD. The set, co-written and co-produced by Moore, was spotlighted by critics as “especially vital; occasionally, even rare,” (Esquire) and spawned his most recent Top 15 single, “She’s Mine.” “When programmed beats and pop-influenced country is the sound of the moment, Moore’s heartland country-rock songs with his growling voice feel muscular, nostalgic and honest” declared Associated Press

    Known as “one of country’s more thoughtful artists” (Billboard) Moore has toured the world earning acclaim and a rabid fanbase as an all-in performer in each setting, consistently selling out headlining shows internationally with huge followings in The U.S, The U.K, Europe, Australia and Canada. Praised by Noisey as “an uncompromising, genre-defying artist firing on all cylinders” Moore has blazed his own trail, with “a bit more Southern rock than traditional country… to be a Kip Moore fan suddenly became a marker of your having a certain refinement in your country-music taste” (Chicago Tribune). The CMA “International Artist Achievement Award” nominee first splashed into the mainstream with the double-PLATINUM “Somethin’ ‘Bout a Truck” in 2012, then followed up with three more best selling No. Ones (“Hey Pretty Girl,” “Beer Money” and “More Girls Like You”), a trio of ambitious, critically-praised albums and two gritty EPs that landed Moore on multiple “Best Of” lists.

  • TAYLOR SWIFT APPEARS ON THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT.

    Taylor Swift appeared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to talk about her release of Fearless (Taylor’s Version) on Friday (April 9th). The two got into a discussion about the song “Hey Stephen,” which the television host felt was written about him. Don’t let the “mood board” fool you; Taylor insists the song was NOT about him.

     

     

    There also seemed to be a lot of chatter from fans about “Easter Eggs” embedded within the interview, and speculation has it that maybe her new version of 1989 may be next…or maybe it might be the LP containing “You Need to Calm Down” from Lover?
