In between foxtrots, rumbas, sambas and waltzes, the country singer and former American Idol contestant Kellie Pickler has found time to record and release new music. While enjoying her recent "Dancing With the Stars" victory, Pickler has released a new video for her pining ballad, "Someone Somewhere Tonight," the lead-off single from her upcoming fourth studio album, "The Woman I Am," which she promises will be "Kellie Country," due out November 12th. Hopefully, she'll still pull her dancing shoes on from time to time, since she's obviously gifted at both singing and dancing.
The track, finds Pickler singing about the power of love and redemption, was previously recorded by Kenny Rogers on his 2006 album "Water & Bridges" and Pam Tillis on her 2007 album, "RhineStoned," though neither version was a single. The song's lyrics contemplate what different things people in the world are experiencing at the same time, contrasting between good and bad scenarios (such as someone tasting their first kiss versus someone suffering with alcoholism). It is performed from the perspective of a narrator singing to their significant other, and requesting in the chorus that they just lie down together and be still.
The poetic lyrics are lovingly performed over a burning, emotive melody with Pickler showcasing why she's such an engaging vocalist, the kind of vocalist who was born to sing songs like "Someone Somewhere Tonight," a widescreen power ballad with the kind of lyrics. The 27-year-olf country music artist's performance is just short of the magical tear-jerking performance one feels coming from the first note, but still amongst the best and most genuine of her career. It's refreshing to hear her sing from a place of love as opposed to a place of pain as she did early in her career with ballads like "I Wonder."
The Roman White-directed video reunited Pickler with her Dancing With the Stars partner Derek Hough as we see the pair dancing a choreographed routine to the song around an empty house. It was incredibly intimate and overtly sensual, with lots of gorgeous natural light and suggestive dancing, but according to Pickler recalled to Rolling Stone, that the real reason the ballad's video seemed so personal actually had to do with another video playing in the background - her wedding video.
