Nashville, TN (Top40 Charts) Love and Theft's latest single, "Runnin' Out of Air," is picking up steam with a sexy, tension-fraught new video, which premiered last week.
Directed by Mason Dixon (Jake Owen, Eli Young Band), the video features a stylish Eric and Stephen in a nightclub performance setting, surrounded by a maze of lovely ladies. Two particular stunners come in and out of focus as they weave their way through the crowd, echoing the song's message of up-and-down desire. The song describes the breathtaking intoxication of being near the one you desire...and knowing that it's as bad as it is good. It has been described by some industry insiders as a country hit flavored by The Eagles and Maroon 5.
Now in rotation on CMT, it can also be seen online or here:
"Runnin' Out of Air" is the second single from Love and Theft's self-titled RCA Nashville debut. Billboard Magazine says the song "takes a cue from the Maroon 5 playbook" while popular blog, TasteofCountry predicts "both the tune and the video have what it takes to push Love and Theft into a whole new level of stardom."
