Lauded Entertainer
Scores Seventh Chart-Topper This Week on Mediabase and Billboard Airplay Charts New Single "Kinda Don't Care" Impacts Radio
September 18
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Justin Moore is on a hot streak with a
lucky seventh career No. 1 hit as “Somebody Else Will” rolls into the top spot
on Mediabase and Billboard Country Airplays Charts this week. It’s hardly left
to chance though that this hard-working, talented entertainer has reached the
peak once again. Written by Kelly Archer, Adam Hambrick and Tebey Ottoh and produced
by Jeremy Stover and Scott Borchetta, the single marks a second board leader
from his fourth studio album KINDA DON’T CARE released on
The Valory Music Co., following an ascend in 2016 with “You Look Like I Need a
Drink.”
“The feeling you get when your song hits No. 1
is unbelievable,” shared the Arkansas native in his signature Southern drawl.
“Although this is my seventh time, it is still just as exciting as ever. It is
tough to get your songs played on Country radio and I am so thankful to the writers,
all of the stations, my promo team at the label and all of the fans who
continue to support me and my music.”
Moore’s next single will be “Kinda Don’t Care,”
which impacts radio on September 18. Uproxx raved
"...you’d do better to look toward the album’s rebellious title track to
get a real read on what makes Moore care — or not. That’s the guitar-drenched
backwoods apathy I’d play on the radio, given a shot at those
dials." Sounds Like Nashville concurred “...he hits the
twang factor in fine fashion on the fun title cut."
Fans can catch Moore on the road during
headline, festival and fair dates throughout the summer.

his signature Country setting for a neon-filled club with today’s music video
premiere for “Somebody Else Will.” Scenes capture the platinum-selling
entertainer’s edgy performance split with a tension-building night out
narrative, filmed at The Sutler in Nashville. Moore teamed up with director
Shane Drake to once again bring lyrics like: “Cause somebody else will / If I
don’t walk up and ask you your name / Right now, offer to buy you a drink / Sit
down and tell you your looks could kill / Somebody else will” to life.
Watch in best quality on Vevo or the YouTube video below:
“Shane and I have
worked together a lot throughout my career,” said Moore. “He always does a
great job of getting shots of me that portray the music and that’s a talent.”
Added Drake, “This song is super freaking cool and for this shoot day I really
wanted to match that with the visuals. We are in a VIP underground club that
has a futuristic/neon/Bladerunner vibe which you don’t typical associate with
Country.”
Fans can also take a peek at the behind-the-scenes action now:
Moore
debuted “Somebody Else Will” on NBC’sTODAY,chatting
with hosts Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford in November. Watch ithere. The second single serves as a follow up to

Justin Moore - Kinda
Don't Care (Instant Grat Video)
Matching his no-nonsense attitude, Multi-platinum-selling
Justin Moore released his fourth studio album August 12 on The Valory Music Co.
The aptly-titled project, KINDA DON’T CARE, gives longtime fans a full dose of
what they’ve come to love about the chart-topping singer/songwriter…a slow
Southern drawl and candid charm.
The standard and deluxe versions were available beginning
July 15 with four instant grat tracks available through August 12. Justin made
the announcement on social media. View here:
He continued to share stories behind the songs with a
series of Facebook video posts
“It’s hard to believe that we just recorded our fourth
album. The process has changed, drastically, since our first time in the studio
so many years ago” expressed Moore. “This is the best piece of music we’ve
delivered because it gets more fun each time. Naming the album KINDA DON’T CARE
is not meant to be nonchalant or careless. It’s meant to be a challenge to
folks to live life a little more freely and be true to themselves.”
KINDA DON’T CARE is the follow-up to Moore’s back-to-back
Gold-Certified albums: JUSTIN MOORE (2009); the #1 debuting OUTLAWS LIKE ME
(2011) and OFF THE BEATEN PATH (2013).
His cleverly-penned new single, “You Look Like I Need A Drink,”
went Top 5 at Country radio on Mediabase (chart dated Aug 22).
Since his humble beginnings in the small town of Poyen,
Arkansas 10 years ago, Moore has achieved five #1 songs, six Top 10 singles,
and was named the 2014 ACM New Artist Of The Year. Stand-out hits include
“Small Town U.S.A.,” “Backwoods,” “Point At You,” “’Til My Last Day,” “Bait A
Hook,” and “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away.” Moore, who has never been shy about
his background or beliefs, honestly lives out the lyrics he has written for his
albums.
Justin Moore: Country music's next
generation (USA TODAY; published Aug 18, 2016)
As many aspiring singers
have done before him, Justin Moore left his hometown and trekked to Nashville,
searching for success. Unlike all but a few of them, he found what he was
looking for. In fact, with two No. 1 albums, five No. 1 singles and 2014 New
Artist of the Year honors from the Academy of Country Music, he has come to
represent the best of a new generation in country music.
Refreshingly, his new
album, KINDA DON’T CARE, is short on references to trucks, beer and the other
memes that lovers of old-school country often decry. Its themes are more
universal, more personal: Moore, 32, wonders whether to approach a girl he sees
in a bar (Somebody Else Will), senses that she is about to blow him off (You
Look Like I Need A Drink) and in the end is happy that everything worked out
(Got It Good).
Moore’s success isn’t
dependent on today’s cliches. Even more interesting, if he had had his way as a
kid back in Poyen, Ark., that success might never have come to him at all.
“I was one of the only
kids back there that didn’t want to get the heck out of Dodge,” he says. “I
wanted to stay home and eat Mama’s cooking until I was 30. I loved living
there. My dad was the one who said, ‘What do you think about playing music for
a living?’ Growing up in a town of 300 people, I didn’t know you could do it
for a living. So their support was huge.”

They dropped him off in
Music City when he was just 18. “Green as a blade of grass,” Moore had just one
acquaintance in town, Peter Hartung, who luckily knew his way around the music
business. They knocked on doors, looked for songs to record, booked performance
opportunities. With hard work and a bit of luck, Moore began getting booked to
open for Luke Bryan, Hank Williams Jr. and other headliners. He landed a
contract with Valory Music Co.
When his efforts paid
off, the realization came suddenly. “We’d always traveled in a van. The first
time we took a tour bus, we got to our venue in Memphis. You could see maybe
4,000 from the bus. I asked Peter, ‘Who are we opening for?’ He said, ‘Nobody.
This is our show.’ When we played that night, the crowd sang along. They knew
every word. That was the moment that everything shifted and I knew we were on a
different level.”
Those crowds have doubled
and doubled again at Moore’s shows. This year he has toured with other young
country guns: Brantley Gilbert, Thomas Rhett and backwoods rapper Colt Ford.
Yet even his star continues to rise, he admits to still being a little bemused
by it all.
“When I look in the
mirror, I just see me, Kate’s husband, Ella’s and Kennedy’s and Rebecca’s dad,
and my mom and dad’s son. I’m the same guy I was 15 years ago. Honestly, it was
difficult at first for me to deal with being recognized. When I look out and
see our fans singing along or clapping or cheering, I’m so humbled. Why did I
get to do this? There are so many people so much more talented than me. That’s
why I tell every crowd we play in front of, 'Not only do you make my dreams
come true, you’re making dreams come true that my kids haven’t even had yet.' ”
