New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Four-time Entertainer of the Year
Luke Bryan kicked off his album release day for BORN HERE LIVE HERE DIE HERE with a performance on the 2020 Summer Citi
Music Series on TODAY this morning and premiering a new music video for the album's title track.
The "
Born Here Live Here Die Here" video is a four-minute film with an inside look at Luke's life and how his hometown and family have shaped the man he is today. From sites of Leesburg, Georgia to some of his most memorable career moments, the mini-movie gives viewers a juxtaposition glimpse that while playing stadiums, winning awards and meeting and performing for his fans, it's bringing his family alongside him for each step of the journey that has kept him rooted in small-town integrity.
"I want my albums to reflect all forms of life," shared Luke about the new album. "No matter what's going on in the world, I want to treat my albums with bringing everybody to the party. I try to share who I am and make music my fans can relate to, but still push some envelopes. I want it to be a look into my world, take 'em somewhere. Let 'em have some fun. No matter who you are as a human being, I'm visualizing how you'll react when you hear this music."
"The song 'Born Here, Live Here, Die Here' paints such a beautiful picture of rural life and a rural mindset. Every line tells of that small-town life and not needing to go look anywhere else, they're happy, they're content, they have everything they want right there. There's something really, really special about those types of people. For many years I was that guy that was gonna be born there, live there, and never leave. But somehow I left and became a country music singer… but I still love to sing about those topics."
