Sugarland Show Off Glamorous Side "Tonight"

American country music duo Sugarland debuted the video for their latest burning-yearning single "Tonight," and oddly enough, it feels like it's being brought to us by a wind machine. Lacking much of a storyline, "Tonight" is more of what you might call a "glamour" music video that features vocalist Jennifer Nettles in three different set-ups that all include gale-force winds blowing her lusciously coiffed locks around.
This is where the machine needs a little more oil. On the third single from their latest No.1 album "The Incredible Machine," Sugarland trades bare emotional honesty for bad inspirational goop that hardly satisfies those who look to the duo for their humorous and heartfelt recordings. The tune has been a tremendous fan favorite on the duo's tour of the same name. Singling out this track as one of her favorites on the album, Nettles told us: "Even as a singer to perform that song, because it's in a different part of my range, it allows people to hear a different part of my voice, and it definitely for me was fun to pull on some of my influences, like Chrissie Hynde or even Robert Smith from the Cure, with that sort of '80s sound."
Nettles explores her sex appeal in this music video, acting all flirty while yearning to be with someone she loves. Filmed at the historic Woolworth mansion on New York City's Upper East Side, the video depicts the superstar country duo in a whole new light, mixing romance, drama, and shows Nettles at her most glamorous side as the powerhouse vocalist rocks longer hair and sprawls out on the couch along with three distinct wardrobe changes: a ravishing red dress, flirty dance ensemble and slinky white sweater dress.
Talking about the concept of the music video, Nettles gushed, "We wanted to play with the romance and longing of this song. Hopefully that translates." "I am so excited for our fans to see the glamorous side of Sugarland and hear a new song from our 'Incredible Machine,'" adds guitarist Kristian Bush. "We were inspired in writing this song by the emotional longing we heard in the soundtracks of iconic '80s movies like 'The Breakfast Club,' 'Pretty in Pink' and 'Say Anything.' The feeling of being so in love that you would trade everything for just one day with that someone."

Sugarland Shows Funny Side In "Stuck Like Glue"

Despite touring throughout 2010, Country and western duo sensation Sugarland has been largely absent from country radio as of late, Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush now reemerge to reclaim their eminence as country music's dominant duo, released their new video for "Stuck Like Glue," the peppy first single from the duo's upcoming fourth studio album "The Incredible Machine" has been scheduled for an October 19 release on Mercury Nashville.
"Stuck Like Glue," is a catchy, up-tempo tune that will have you tapping your toes and singing along in no time at all. It's a joyous, infectious acoustic pop song that shows off Nettles' stellar vocal skills, it once again confirms her place as one of popular music's most talented stylists. "'Stuck Like Glue' is just plain, unashamed, Sugar-fun," Nettles described the single. "It sticks in your brain, no pun intended. To me it feels young, hip and of course sassy! I can't wait for it to get out there so we can play it live in our show. We've been sitting on our hands to not play it live 'til it was released!" With her irrepressible charm and girl next door appeal as an anchor, she shines on even the most standard pop-country fluff.
Sugarland show off their comical side in a newly-premiered music video, the duo become partners in crime as they stalk Nettles's love interest. The video opens with Nettles and Bush driving get-away car, a family truckster on a road trip seemingly to go visit her beau, nicely played by "Chuck's Captain Awesome" Ryan McPartlin, and determined to win his heart. Turns out it's an unreciprocated love, to put it mildly. After they get arrested for coming a little too close to the object of Nettles' affection, they get thrown into the pokey, but she later on throws a punch on his face after he gets a call from another girl.
Once an artist achieves superstar status they have an amazing amount of stress put on them to not only deliver more and more 'great music' that keeps the newer fans but music that will appeal to fans of their earliest music. Sugarland is a group that has never really tried to sound the same over and over again. While they've had a base that is country in a modern context, the duo has never been content to record the same sounding song over and over again. Each of their albums are meant to challenge and evolve. Taking this into account, it's easy to understand where Sugarland is coming from on their new single "Stuck Like Glue." It's about rhythm and movement, and easy to dance to because people connect to that rhythm immediately. With Brooks & Dunn about to end their long and successful partnership, Sugarland is a contender for the top spot among country music's duos.

Sugarland: "Live on the Inside" = All In This Week For TV/DVD/CD/Movie

Sugarland, the award-winning duo of Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush gained more national exposure and takes the country by storm once again in this busy week with release of their live concert "Live on the Inside":(1) Aired Monday night as a network TV special on ABC; (2) An expanded version of the performance was released on Tuesday as a budget-priced CD/DVD package for sale exclusively at Wal-Mart; (3) It's finally set to debut in movie theaters for a limited theatrical run ONLY today! The band has taped an exclusive greeting to fans that can only be seen in movie theaters, such as Monaco Pictures. Please check here for detailed.
For Sugarland, success clearly doesn't just happen! The country duo works for every minute of their success. Nettles and Bush exploded onto the music scene in 2004 with “Twice The Speed Of Life” and haven’t looked back since. After years of creating thoughtful music and struggling to make ends meet in a business that seems to reward mediocrity, Sugarland was from relative unknown trio from the Atlanta area to the most popular and successful duo in country music (or any other genre for that matter). They’ve sold close to 7 million records, received trophies from the Grammy, American Music Awards, Academy of Country Music, CMT Music Awards and the Country Music Association. "Love on the Inside" is their 3rd album released last July.

This DVD features the extended version of the concert that was filmed at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Ky, and packed with the band's 16 hits, over an hour of live performance footage, and a few surprises. The CD includes 3 original songs and 7 covers. This is a release that fans will want to check out. In a world of overproduced-studio magic talent, it is nice to see a duo who can actually deliver the goods live and seem to be in music for the enjoyment of making music.
