Eighteen months after she signed a recording contract with Hollywood Records, Lucy Hale finally debuted the stunning new music video for her debut single, "You Sound Good to Me," during Tuesday night's broadcast of ABC Family's "Pretty Little Liars" premiere and quickly hit the web. Directed by Taylor Swift and John Mayer collaborator Philip Andelman, the new video highlights a carefree and spontaneous day with friends. As if we weren't already itching for summer.
The 24-year-old 'Pretty Little Liars' starlet-turned-Hollywood Records signee participated in a Twitter Q&A to promote her currently untitled country album. Hale told MTV News to expect a "Taylor Swift/Carrie Underwood-ish hybrid" when it came to her musical style and when her debut album hit stores. "I'm going to do a country/pop album, and I couldn't be more excited," she said. "I grew up in Tennessee, so that's always been my heart and soul." The sweet, doll-eyed actress hopes listeners can put their preconceived notions about actors-turned-musicians aside and give her single a fair shot.
The rootsy pop-country track "You Sound Good To Me," written by Ashley Gorley, Luke Laird and Hillary Lindsey, but the song was written for Hale. In other words, this song suited Hale's hopeful voice with country splendor. With Shania Twain and Faith Hill as influences, it makes complete sense that Hale made her big step into music to go through the doors of country. The American Junior alum added that the "cool thing about music is that you can find inspiration from anyone." Hale said on Twitter, "I want to create music as long as the world will possibly let me. I want to tour, see every place possible."
That ethos is also captured in the video for "You Sound Good To Me," which is showing off her country roots as the pint-sized songstress gettin' all kinds of country in her cowboy boots and a bunch of well-groomed friends as they take a road trip and have a bonfire in a trailer park. The visual lends itself to the song's lyrics: Hale flirts with her love interest as the two enjoy a road trip through the country side with friends. After goofing around in what looks like a truck stop, they get more serious by nightfall as they sit around a campfire and eventually locking lips!
