Just in time for Halloween! Grammy-nominated country quartet Little Big Town has just released the eerie, yet sexy visuals for "Tornado," the title track form their latest fifth studio album, which spent five weeks at No.1 on Billboard's Country Albums chart. With gorgeous shots of gray skies, strong winds and chirping blackbirds, this is one music video that's perfectly in tune for Halloween with plenty spooky!
Two years after "The Reason Why," Little Big Town returned in 2012 with "Tornado," and justifiably, perhaps their poppiest yet. This four-piece country band open up their sound, once again emphasizing harmonies and melodies, encasing them in a sleek, gleaming production that pushes them ever closer to the mainstream. They've freshened up the breezy melodics and silken settings, giving the music a true modern stomp at times, but always keeping those gorgeous harmonies at the forefront. Their performance is playful and tinged with greasy Southern soul and unrivaled vocal harmonies, and "Tornado" gives them ample opportunity to showcase them.
"Tornado," a great woman scorned powerful song is about a woman seeking revenge, and that grim, dangerous opening sets the tone for the song (and video) as it propels forward. Karen Fairchild handles the lead with grit and strength. "I'm a tornado looking for a man to break," she sings, dictating every movement with a sultry voice looking for revenge. "Tornado" is all about taking a stand; rising up to the man's surprise. The fearsome beat is complimented by her confident fire, igniting on every note. It's clear that this guy has pulled the whole "love them and leave them" trick on her in the past and she's over it.
The dark, moody video that perfectly matches the tension set by the song itself, was directed by Shane Drake and filmed in Watertown, Tenn. It starts out with that haunting kind of calm and quiet with a sinister shot of a man sitting on a creaky rocking chair on the front porch of a dilapidated home. As Little Big Town enter the scene, residents in what appears to be a tiny southern town hurry back inside homes and shutter their windows. It's clear right off the bat that this group standing tall in some seriously fierce outfits is going to make this guy pay. But the quartet isn't there to harm the town, they are there to rain down justice on a man who deserves it and leave him snagged on the barbed wire and walk away.
