Randy Montana Lists "1,000 Faces" Of Love

I had never heard of Randy Montana until I saw this music video which premiered a few days ago. This country/rock singer has a smooth vocal that makes this song a great listen. This talented young country newcomer who broke through the Top 40 last fall with his debut earworm single "Ain't Much Left of Lovin' You" and he has now returned with his sweetly crafted sophomore effort "1,000 Faces," which we think will be a huge breakthrough for him. Last month, Mercury Nashville artist was in downtown Nashville to shoot the video for his new single. The video, directed by Robert Deaton and George Flanigen, utilized over 60 extras to convert the closed city streets into just another busy day in downtown Music City with the exception of Montana and his band playing in the street.
Produced by Jay Joyce, "1,000 Faces" is the title and second single from his new 3-song EP. Unlike the modern heartbreak of his previous single, "1,000 Faces" is more in the vein of love songs, albeit not the stereotypical lovey-dovey type, and it showcase a powerhouse of an artist in the making. Featuring a lyric that seemingly strings together descriptions of girls in list song fashion but upon further listening, "1,000 Faces" is an ethereal experience of epic proportions. It also feels like a big ole smash hit. The song is a soft love ballad, spouting off listed couplets in easy rhythms. The lists comprise the thousand faces of love, and Montana discards them all, proclaiming: "I dreamed of you, before I ever knew you." The infectious verses seem effortless, and Montana's soft-spoken vocals remind of the uncrafted skill of a Jonathan Singleton.
Montana melts the heart of his dream girl with his new video for the song "1,000 Faces." The video features Montana at an intersection playing with his band while many people and "faces" pass by. "I can't wait for everyone to see this video," says Montana. "Working with Robert and George was awesome. I had a great time talking with the extras and all the people that just walked up to see what all the noise was and why the street was blocked off. There was also a hammered drunk homeless man named Memphis that walked up in the middle of the shoot. He looked at me and said, 'If y'all let me dance, I'll make you more money.' I think he thought we were playing for tips."
Montana got a front row seat to the challenges of the business growing up, since his dad had an artist deal himself back in the late '80s. He comes from country music stock, and well accomplished country stock at that. his boundary-free music captures the yearning of restless young men who are in a hurry to take life as far as they can, men who are sometimes too caught up in the moments of passion to have thoughts of regret. His raspy voice, which sounds older than his years, tells of temptation and consequences while painting musical portraits of wheels turning, fires burning and women scribbling phone numbers on matchbooks. The raspy-voiced Montana, a standout among his 'I'm more country than you' peers, breaks the genre's mold but respects its heritage.
