Just in time for the 4th of July, Kenny Chesney has released the colorful video for his summery new song, "American Kids," the lead single from his upcoming studio album, "The Big Revival," due out September 23rd. The new video, is as fresh and innovative as the song itself, shows the Country superstar out in the Southern California desert having fun and playing music with an eclectic group of carefree youthful friends letting loose in a crazy fun psychedelic school bus 'Partridge Family' style, which sets the tone for a lighthearted and spirited music video - the perfect imagery for an upbeat song.
The feel-good song celebrates the energy and spirit of youth across America with lyrics that are certainly sympathetic to the crazy-fun energy of being young and eager to cut loose. "There is so much more to being alive than partying, tailgates and bonfires," said Chesney. "It's every single detail of being young, growing up, remembering when, laughing about how, but especially knowing you can still do all those things! American kids are so much more complicated, more fun, more real and if there's anything about this song, beyond the rhythms, the hooks and the playing, that I love, it's the fact that it captures all the little things that life really is made of."
The 46-year-old singer once again worked with longtime director Shaun Silva for the clip, which celebrates what makes America's youth unique by featuring a cast of characters from all walks of life. "If I could create a video where it wasn't so literal, but more about the state of mind and the freedom my fans embrace, then to me, that's the best way to capture the song on film," Chesney said. "Anyone, everyone who's ever been glad they're alive... they'll take one look at this and know." The sense of freedom in the video goes along with what the song is all about with a fun, colorful ride.
There's dancing, tambourines, singing and a whole lot of fun happening throughout. Chesney shows off his younger and wilder side as he strumming a guitar while a group of young folks kicks up sand dancing around a custom-painted old bus that looks like it might have traveled to Woodstock back in the day. It isn't a clip with a storyline, but rather, a playful tribute to being young in America and a spirit and it's exactly what the singer had in mind. "The spirit of this thing - the song, the bus, the idea of the kids riding around, having fun, playing music and just celebrating life - makes you want to get involved," Chesney told Entertainment News.
