KIP MOORE EMBODIES HIS MOST
AUTHENTIC SOUND
WITH UPCOMING THIRD STUDIO
ALBUM SLOWHEART - AVAILABLE SEPT. 8
Nashville, TN - June 21, 2017 –
Multi-PLATINUM
singer/songwriter Kip Moore shared
more details about his most personal body of work to date today, revealing
to Rolling Stone that his upcoming third studio album
on MCA Nashville SLOWHEART will be
released on Sept. 8.
Having
navigated the path from the staggering success of the release of his smash-hit
debut album UP ALL NIGHT, to the resounding critical acclaim that followed with
his sophomore offering, WILD ONES, has hit his stride with the upcoming
release of SLOWHEART.
Moore co-wrote 11 out of 13
tracks, and was the sole producer on seven of the tracks, as well as
co-producing five more on the collection that is “between the rough edges
of Americana, rock and the evocative storytelling of country, produced to let
every guitar lick ring true and every edge and wail of Moore's voice
reverberate raw but strong” (Rolling Stone). He
also played guitar throughout the recording, while singing the majority of
the harmonies, giving him a new found respect for the talented background
vocalists within the Nashville community and resulting in the impactful
authenticity of this record.
As Rolling
Stone aptly describes, "The Georgia native is nothing if not
steadfast: he does what he wants, how he wants it, and doesn't try to shuffle
his emotions under the table. He talks openly about depression and self-doubt,
and, on Slowheart, about the life of a grown, modern man, one who wants a
family sometimes but seeks a few no-strings thrills at others. He sings about
fighting for a relationship at all costs, but also knowing when to pour the
last round; and about how music is his real lover, while everything else is
just an affair.”
With
a wayfarer impulse, Moore followed years on the road touring building one of
the genre's most fervent followings with an extended break exploring the rest
of the world, including stops in Iceland, Hawaii, Australia, Costa
Rica, Park City and more. This time of reflection culminated in a striking
sense of clarity, showcased in Moore’s upcoming collection. With a tip of the
hat to 90’s rock and roll, the anthemic "Bittersweet Company" is
destined for a spot on the setlist of Moore’s revered live show, as well
as “Last Shot” with it’s encore-ready, emphatic chorus. Moore also serves an
unflinching wake-up call in the form of the groove-driven track “Blonde,”
while he lays bare a more vulnerable layer in the committed ballad, “Try
Again.”

"This is the record I've been
waiting to make,” said Moore. “The
one that leaves you with a peace in your heart, knowing you did it exactly the
way you wanted to. The one that makes it okay if you fail, because it truly
came from your soul and no other place. You can't go wrong if you can lay
your head on your pillow with no regrets."

Kip Moore debuts stunning "More Girls Like
You" lyric video
Co-written
by Moore, his current Top 20 single and the lead track from his upcoming
release “More Girls Like You,” is the fastest rising single of his
career so far and is receiving praise from critics such as Entertainment
Weekly declaring he “has made a name for himself weaving
vignettes of Southern, blue-collar life and love into rollicking country
anthems.”
As he
"consistently serves up clever roots-rock riffs and rhythms that separate
Moore from the rock-meets-rap focus of his Nashville peers" (Associated
Press), the release of "More Girls Like You" follows the
acclaim that surrounded his sophomore album WILD ONES heralded as "an
impressively singular release from Music Row" by The
Guardian.
Moore first
turned heads with his debut album UP ALL NIGHT which was certified GOLD by the
RIAA and spawned three No. One hit singles including GOLD certified "Beer
Money," PLATINUM certified "Hey Pretty Girl," and the
DOUBLE PLATINUM breakout hit "Somethin' 'Bout A Truck. Following an
extended break,
Moore is
back out on the road playing some of country music’s biggest festivals this
year, as well as headlining dates in U.K
this fall stopping in Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, culminating in a
special show as part of Country Music
Week in London, at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire.
Moore will
also return to Ireland later this summer for Harvest 2017, stopping in
Westport, IE (8/26) and Enniskillen, IE (8/27.)
