“BLACK”
FIXATES TIME READERS WITH SEDUCTIVE CLIP
FEATURING
BENTLEY’S WIFE CASSIDY BLACK
TIME Names Bentley’s
“Biggest Undertaking Yet” As “Stunning”
NASHVILLE, TN - Jan. 13, 2017 - As GRAMMY
nominee Dierks Bentley continues “following his muse to wherever it might take him—with
the sky as the literal limit" (Esquire),
he finds himself halfway across the world in remote areas of Iceland in the
debut of his epic music video for “Black” on TIME.
Over a four day shoot featuring breathtaking landscapes, stunning supernatural
effects and incredibly intimate moments with his wife Cassidy, Bentley visually
sets the tone for "the sexiest songs of his career" (Associated Press,
Rolling
Stone).
“We’ve been talking about Iceland
as a location since before I even released the album last year, but I never
thought we’d actually go. The next thing I know, there’s a shoot booked and we
are standing on the side of a glacier half-dressed,” laughed Bentley. “The crew
wasn’t kidding around….it was four long, cold days in some really treacherous
conditions. We were on a lot of the same locations that ‘Game Of Thrones’ and
the Star Wars films have shot, and it’s just crazy what those people go through
every day. I had the idea of putting my wife in the video, which is totally
taking her out of her comfort zone, but I just couldn’t imagine doing a video
for this song without her in it and she reluctantly agreed…but then totally
NAILED it. It wouldn’t have been genuine without her. I think the end result is
something really special, and it was a trip of a lifetime for everyone
involved."

“As a performer and ambassador for the genre, Bentley has been a steadfast star, and one that continues to take risks that pay off” (USA TODAY) which continues to be evident and cemented with “Black’s” critical acclaim.
“A sultry bedroom ballad that allowed him to
frame the entire album around the story lines of love, loss and heartache.” – AP
"The sexy title-track describes an
all-consuming love as if it weren’t so different from a black hole." – People
“Rich with detailed lyrics only made even more
vivid by Bentley's rasp.” - Esquire
"It's mood music, sometimes playing as
smooth as a seduction but better suited for moments of introspection when
you're surrounded by a crowd and need to isolate." - AllMusic
Bentley is known for getting "stronger and
stronger with every release and is one of the few artists that can go from
bluegrass to country” (Billboard)
as he recently released his eight studio album BLACK,
which ranks as the best selling debut of Bentley's career. After debuting at
the No. One position on Billboard’s Top Albums Chart and Top Country Albums
chart, the critically-acclaimed album has already spawned two No. One hits, the
PLATINUM certified chart-topping hit “Somewhere On A Beach” and GOLD and GRAMMY
nominated “Different For Girls” featuring Elle King. Bentley has now amassed 15
No. one songs, 13 GRAMMY nominations and is a recent CMA Award winner for Vocal
Event of the Year. "The bluegrass picker, the love
song singer and the stadium rocker all packaged
together” (Associated
Press) has been a Grand Ole Opry member for over a
decade and will launch his 2017 WHAT THE HELL WORLD TOUR next week on Jan. 19
in Dayton, OH.
