Dan + Shay announce third release
"Tequila," written by Smyers, Nicolle Galyon and Jordan Reynolds, is the lead single from the release.
"Our first two albums helped us build an incredible and super loyal fan base, so we knew it was our responsibility to them to put out the best music we could on this record," said the duo in a press release. "Most importantly, we wanted to deliver a project that would satisfy the people who got us where we are in the first place. Where we are musically and in our personal lives is different than where we were when this all started, which makes this album unique while still being true to who we are."
The debut, "Where It All Began," featured the Platinum-certified "19 You + Me" as well as the Gold-certified number one 1 hit "Nothin' Like You." The sophomore release, "Obsessed," produced the chart-topping, Platinum-certified "From the Ground Up" and Gold-certified "How Not To."
Smyers co-produced the album with longtime collaborator and WMN executive Scott Hendricks (Alan Jackson, Faith Hill, Blake Shelton). Earlier today the duo released the brand new music video for their pre-release song "Speechless," featuring footage from their real-life weddings.
"Speechless was inspired by the moment we first saw our beautiful brides walking down the aisle on our wedding days," said Mooney. "Our genuine reaction was perfectly captured on film, and we wanted to share it with our fans by accompanying this special song with a special video."
On June 7, they will perform at Nashville's Nissan Stadium for this year's CMA Fest before heading to New York on June 25 for the TODAY Show Summer Concert Series. They will join Rascal Flatts for the rest of the summer on their "Back To Us" Tour.
