Florida Georgia Line Get Sentimental in "Dirt"

Florida Georgia Line release new single and video for "Dirt" and it's a bit of a change for the Country music's party-friendly duo as boys start thinking about settling down in the lead-off single from their upcoming sophomore album. A plot of land tugs hard on Tyler Hubbard's and Brian Kelley's souls in this pensive ballad, offering up its history and its future, its memories and its potential. The clip sees a love through the years and showcases a sweet love story that truly comes full circle. From being young, in love (and dirty) to one of the partners in the couple passing away, the video cherishes it all.
Florida Georgia Line have said their new single would be different and they weren't lying. "Dirt" show the guys' sentimental side. The heartfelt mid-tempo ballad veers the duo far from the rising popularity of bro-country they embraced with such songs as "Cruise" and "This Is How We Roll," while featuring Hubbard and Kelley celebrating a couple who create a life on a dirt field, raise their family, surround it with a white picket fence, and enjoy the good life right there on their own little plot of the American Dream.
Kelley says "Dirt" really touched him and fellow bandmate Hubbard. "We had goose bumps the first time we heard it. With most of our other singles, you don't have to think at all, it's a self-explanatory feel-good song," he tells People Country. "But this one makes you dig a little deeper, makes you think about your life and where you're at and where you want to be." The video  paints a similar image, couple epitomize the song and brings the song to life as it gives the song a nice narrative with noted songwriter-turned-actor JD Souther playing a husband eulogizing his wife, who has returned to the dirt.
The clip begins with Souther discussing the love of his life and why 1968 was such a meaningful year to him. "It was the first year that Rosie started bringing my lunch out to the field every day," he says. A young Rosie brings her farmhand boyfriend lunch before the two roll around in the mud. Then, it's their wedding day and he's chasing his young wife with the down-home mud on his hands. The couple proceed to have five children, one of which dies at birth. They teach their children the same value of a small town's dirt. Meanwhile, Florida Georgia Line sing their sentimental Southern song from a barn.

Florida Georgia Line debuts "This Is How We Roll"

Florida Georgia Line is showing off how they roll with a little help from their friends in the new music video for their latest country-rock smash "This Is How We Roll," a duet with fellow country singer Luke Bryan. The track is the fifth single featured on the deluxe edition from the American country duo's re-release edition of their platinum-selling freshman album "Here's to the Good Times," released in stores last November.
Florida Georgia Line stick to familiar themes, but deliver their most original lyric yet on "This Is How We Roll," a collaboration with Bryan. The rhymes that flow from Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley's lips are like sugar from a shaker. An especially clever second verse will be what everyone is talking about. It is a song which is definitely well within the musical pocket each of the song's writers have in their music and an obvious choice for single at some point. It's another sing-a-long, small town love type of song, but does that matter at this point, it's a song that's all about feeling good with people you love to be with.
Florida Georgia Line's new single, "This Is How We Roll," is one of those super-sized anthems that seems designed to blow the roof off an arena in your neighborhood. So, of course, the song's new video is appropriately huge. It has everything: Hubbard and Kelley singing atop a moving semi, insane motorcycle stunts from Travis Pastrana and his Nitro Circus, beautiful women dancing, giant explosions and guest vocalist Bryan. It's a pretty wild party, the kind that most folks don't experience in real life, but the boys all look like they're having a blast.
The Marc Klasfeld-directed video was filmed in the desert just outside of Los Angeles. The action-packed visual begins with Florida Georgia Line along with Bryan stopping their semi on the side of the road to help out their stranded X Games pals. The party then moves to the tractor trailers of an 18-wheeler and take the fun outside with plenty of girls, drinking, as the country duo and Bryan perform the song, the X Games champions show off their impressive jaw-dropping tricks on their dirt bikes to cap off the night.

Florida Georgia Line show their angst in "Stay"

Florida Georgia Line released the music Video for the passion-fueled "Stay," the fourth single from the ACM award-winning duo's debut studio album, "Here's to the Good Times." Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard delves into more serious and somber topics in "Stay," which revolves around a breakup, where the woman has walked out and the guy is left pleading with her to come back. Appropriately, the clip takes things a few steps further by adding a new level of drama–and darkness–to the situation and showcases those feelings, and the duo shows their angst in this newest offering.
Shot outside of Nashville, the video features vivid imagery of a couple whose fiery emotions reach a boiling point, causing each to struggle with their next move in the relationship. Director Peter Zavadil reinforces the raw scenes with flashes of country rock duo performing the powerful song. It kicks off in a trailer park, with a woman looking sadly sitting desolate and dazed amidst charred remains of what was once burned-out trailer. Her dog paws through the rubble, eventually sniffs out a burnt cellphone and brings it to her mouth. Her shoulders drop, and she flashes back to right before the fire.
Apparently, her boyfriend lived in that trailer. And right before the fire, she decided to leave him, packing up in her car with her dog in the front seat, as her former love stood helplessly at the door. The band is interspersed throughout the footage, singing this dark, sad song as the story unfolds, but they aren't the main focus. The storyline is the star in this video. Throughout the "Stay" video, the girl's phone flashes with text messages from her boyfriend pleading, "I guess I know what it feels like to be alone... I need you just to carry on." But when those text messages aren't acknowledged with a response, the video takes a dark turn and it looks like the boyfriend is going nuts without her.
He has a crazed, desperate look in his eyes, and it's clear he's planning something - something bad. After throwing chairs, lamps, his television and other household items out onto the lawn, he texts her again: "I can't go another day without you." The girl, on the other hand, buys a ticket to go anywhere but there, and soon lands at a hotel, exhausted and emotional. She stares at her phone and in the meantime, he lights a match. But it's not for a simple front yard campfire. He intends to burn all of his items and succeeds, adding his phone and a photo of the happy couple to the flames. Although she returns to his home right as the fire trucks arrive, it's a little too late.

Florida Georgia Line hit the road for "Cruise"

Florida Georgia Line hit the road to do the cruise with St. Louis rapper Nelly in the video for the urban-flecked remix of the country duo's smash hit "Cruise," the lead single from the up-and-coming country duo's extended play "It'z Just What We Do," as well as included on their debut studio album, "Here's to the Good Times." The mid-tempo track had become the best-selling song by a country duo in digital history and has already become a fan favorite live, as it sets the bar for a fun, summertime anthem for years to come.
The song tells a familiar story about an attractive woman with whom the male narrator wants to "cruise" in his car, and they end up in a summer romance. The girl described in "Cruise" is the typical country-song wet dream. This isn't an original story, but it's one that never gets old. Florida Georgia Line's Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard play it with inspiration and their formal training shows in the tight execution of this lyric-heavy summer song. If anyone should know a thing or two about southern love in the country, it's a band called Florida Georgia Line. They don’t disappoint with "Cruise," although the bridge could be cut without consequence.
In this very contemporary tune, the R&B influences are obvious in both the rhythm and the melody. It gives the song that uber-laidback quality that often characterizes popular summer singles. "Cruise," became a Top 10 pop hit after it was remixed with some hip-hop flavor by Nelly, is what you might classify as finesse. Because Nelly has previous experience dueting with Tim McGraw on 2004's "Over and Over," he can rap over a back-porch strum without freaking out and shrugging off several centuries of slavery. This isn't faint praise - it takes a certain dignity to commiserate with the pretty-boy dorkuses of Florida Georgia Line without them mudflaps kicking some up on you.
These boys all bring their fast, fun and the furious ways to share the love for fast cars and hot women that invites plenty of dancing along and a little acceleration when it comes to the gas pedal. This remix and its video embody that spirit. The Marc Klasfeld-directed remix video takes us from daylight dirt racing to dancing at night with the ladies and sees St. Louis MC drives a white Ferrari, while Florida Georgia Line duo races monster trucks through the desert. Nelly gets pulled over by a cop, who strips off her clothes before jumping in the car. It celebrates the pursuit of a good time and how getting their fast is mission critical, so you can further enjoy the festivities. Buckle up for the ride.

Directed by Brian Lazzaro and filmed on a farm just outside of Nashville, the video's opening scene will have you wishing you were in your own ride, cruisin' down a back road with the windows down and music cranked way up loud, just as the duo does in a Silverado truck, that is until they spot a long-haired beauty in a bikini. Kelley pulls the truck over and snatches up his girl, and Hubbard does the same just a little further down the road at a small town gas station pump, before rolling in for the big party performance where their real-life friends and family all join in on the fun.
