Danielle Bradbery kicks up some dust in her brand new "Young In America" music video, a plucky, uptempo ditty perfect for rolling down the windows and jamming out with friends. Hailing from her self-titled debut album, the new single celebrates the vision of youth, freedom and fun, and the video is a great reflection of that, depicting "The Voice" season 4 champ, wears her red, white and blue, shows off her fun side, and just in time for summer. Her carefree spirit shines through in the nearly four-minute clip, which also features the 17-year-old Texas native and her friends taking a road trip across the country in a camper van in the middle of summer and a late-night playful gathering.
After a top 15 debut hit in "The Heart of Dixie," and some pleasantly surprised critics to boot, Bradbery is back with a perhaps more age-appropriate single "Young In America." While her debut release was praised for its tackling of a mature topic, the music video clearly revealed she was either too young to truly do justice to it visually, or that Big Machine weren't ready to let her be a grown up. Possibly a mixture of both. Either way, "Young In America" is both more "generic" and perhaps a better fit for her.
The video is a delightful summer romp, opens up on Bradbery wandering through a strikingly golden field and sings of youthful love and escape through the lines, "Let's crank up the truck, kick up some dust/ Leave it all behind, just me and you, baby," she sweet coos on the first verse, a playful smile toying at the corners of her mouth. "Don't look back, stomp on the gas, tear off the rear view. Let's go crazy." With a crisp, clean sound that favors bright notes, the production and performances are meant for all. This new tune exudes emotions of freedom and displays a far more youthful exuberance.
"Young In America" also keeps the strong Dixie Chicks-esque fiddle line that was present in "The Heart of Dixie," plus mandolin and acoustic guitar to keep things sweet, and a strong but broad drum line to encourage dancing. The melody is cheery and bounces off the occasional off-beat, enough for it to be fresh every time it happens. Overall, it's a good release for Bradbery, and I'm happy that they picked it, especially for the summer. A lot of the songs on her album are more straight pop and it's good they decided to go for one that has an injection of country in it, despite its heavy pop influence.
