Garth Brooks Leaving RCA... Going Solo

Garth Brooks is going out on his own. The singer has left his label RCA Nashville, and will release his upcoming solo record on his own Pearl Records. Garth adds that he’s negotiating a deal with a new streaming service, telling the paper it’s “neither of the two partners you think it’s going to be, but it’s one of the biggest partners in the world,” adding that his own service GhostTunes will likely be absorbed by a larger company. In addition, Garth says he’ll soon announce a significant retail deal with regards to his new album and is even working on a deal with television sports.

Florida Georgia Line: We've Evolved

Just as Florida Georgia Line’s music has evolved over the last couple of years, so has their personal style.  Tyler Hubbard jokes, “It’s ‘cause we got married. We don’t look like homeless scoundrels that wear thrift clothes anymore, right?”

Brian Kelley has a more pragmatic explanation for their evolving style.  He says, “It’s boys becoming men and crazy enough for us that it’s in front of a lot of people.”  And just as their styles are authentic to who they are now, Brian says their music is the same way.  “Every step of the way whether it’s ‘Cruisin’’ or ‘This Is How We Roll’, ‘Dirt’, ‘Sundays’, ‘Holy’. What we got comin’ down the pipeline, we’re gonna be honest and transparent with where we’re at. There’s no way around it for us. We gotta put out real music and music that we feel that we’ve lived.”

Florida Georgia Line’s new album, Dig Your Roots, featuring “H.O.L.Y.” is available for pre-order now and will be released on August 26th.

The Band Perry Releases New Music, Kimberly Perry Changes Her Style

Kimberly Perry is certainly turning heads this week.  She’s no longer a blonde!  She’s a brunette now.  And it seems she dyed her hair to look more like her brothers Reid and Neil because of their new music. In the end it was either the two boys go blonde or Kimberly go dark, so she took the hit, but she adds, “I’m loving it.” The group's new song is called "Comeback Kid."
