Watch our interview with country superstar Casey Barnes!
Australian country megastar Casey Barnes has treated us with his new single, Get To Know Ya. The track serves as the latest taste of the singers forthcoming album, Light it Up, set to arrive next month!
The sun-drenched track weaves together Barnes' signature country sonics with notes of rock and pop hooks, and is all about those days spent with loved ones. Laced with vivid lyricism, the song arrives alongside an official visual which stitches together clips of a couple hitting the road and exploring what the world has to offer.
Set to arrive next month, Light it Up follows up the musicians hit 2020 record Town of A Million Dreams, and will feature Come Turn Me On, God Took His Time On You and the musicians latest offering, Get To Know Ya. Produced by Melbourne based production team MSquared (Michael Delozrenzis and Michael Paynter), Barnes wrote the ten tracks that will feature on the record over zoom sessions with Nashville based singer-songwriters Kaci Brown and Sam Gray.
Speaking of the tour and record, the musician shares: “I feel like every day is bringing a new ‘pinch-me’ moment - from writing and recording these new songs, to getting added to radio and streaming playlists that I never expected I would be on, and now announcing what I hope will be my biggest album and tour yet. It’s been a huge effort putting this all together and wouldn't be possible without the support from my family and my amazing team at Chugg Music. Thanks to everyone for their support and I can’t wait to get the ‘Light It Up’ album out there and hit the road.”
Despite the global pandemic setback, 2020 was an epic year for Casey Barnes, seeing him nominated for ARIA’s Country Album Of The Year with his ARIA #1 Australian Country Album, Town Of A Million Dreams. And 2021 is set to be even bigger with Casey already lapping up four Golden Guitar nominations (2021 Toyota Album of the Year, Contemporary Country Album of the Year, Male Artist of the Year and Vocal Collaboration of the Year).
Light it Up is out February 25! Watch our interview with Casey Barnes above.
