Florida Georgia Line are set to release their new album DIG YOUR ROOTS on August 26.
“Our album cover says it all,” shares Brian Kelley. “Tyler and I are continuing to grow musically and personally. We really wanted this album to reflect who we are and our lives in this moment, but also where we came from.”
Tyler Hubbard adds, “we both started out playing guitar, singing in church and writing songs so we wanted to let fans see our foundation – a deeper side to us. We couldn’t have picked a more fitting title or image for DIG YOUR ROOTS.
The duo penned over half of the new music, further depicting an evolution in both of their life journeys. FGL’s soaring single H.O.L.Y. sets the tone for the new project and is “the right balance of change and continuity, and the mix of love and spirituality” (Billboard). Written by hit makers busbee, Nate Cyphert and William Larsen, the song has commanded the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart for the last six weeks and marks their 11th consecutive Top 10 hit as artists at Country radio.
Selling an impressive 1.5 million tickets and landing in the upper reaches of Billboard’s Hot Tours ranking (all genre) in 2015 alone, FGL are taking it to the next level with their headline DIG YOUR ROOTS Tour in the US through to the end of 2016.
Music critics and fans alike have embraced FGL’s sound with solid reviews; sold-out headline tours; sales nearing 26 million tracks and over 3.5 million albums worldwide; prestigious honours from AMA, ACM Awards, CMA Awards, Billboard Music Awards and CMT.
The dynamic duo has achieved 10 #1 hits collectively as artists and songwriters with their sophomore album ANYTHING GOES fuelling five consecutive chart-toppers –platinum Anything Goes, Sippin’ On Fire and Sun Daze; 2x platinum Dirt and gold Confession. FGL has skyrocketed to stardom becoming the only artist in history to join Brooks & Dunn in achieving four back-to-back, multi-week #1 singles.
