Hayes drops "Fancy Like" video with Kesha
Shot in Los Angeles and directed by Rehman Ali and produced by Magic Seed Productions, the video features Hayes and Kesha tailgating, skateboarding and dancing through the streets of LA. The video makes its broadcast debut with MTV and CMT on MTV Live, MTVU, MTV Biggest Pop, CMT, CMT Music and ViacomCBS Times Square billboards today.
The hit song "came out of a conversation about the misconceptions that celebrities or artists live a lavish lifestyle, and it's important for folks to know that's not necessarily true," said Hayes. "I'm truly about as fancy as Applebee's on a date night, so creating a video celebrating the simple moments in life – like watching a movie or drinking box wine – was important to us. Kesha and I each bring our own versions of 'Fancy Like' to this, and I love how it came together."
"Fancy Like," written by Hayes with Cameron Bartolini, Shane Stevens and Josh Jenkins, and produced by Hayes, with Shane McAnally and Joe Thibodeau, is off his six-song EP "Country Stuff." The EP features collaborations with Jake Owen, Carly Pearce and Lori McKenna.

Walker Hayes has a lot of Sam Hunt in his music, in that he mixes a lot of hip-hop in with his country. Traditionalists will have trouble with his unorthodox approach. Kids, though, raised on just as much Drake as Paisley, will likely eat it up. A few years back, it was Lynyrd Skynyrd and Allman Brothers (mixed with a touch of AC/DC) influencing country sounds. It only makes sense rap and R&B are now impacting country recordings. But also like Hunt, there's good to be found in Haye's ...
On his debut, Walker Hayes seems to be aiming for the tongue-in-cheek country rock territory inhabited by Brad Paisley. But without the obvious undercurrent of good humor and genuine affection that softens Paisley's work, he paints a rather grim picture of the state of male-female relations.
Hayes has apparently yet to meet a sexual metaphor he can't put to bad use. It's only four songs long, and from beginning to end, the EP maintains a firm focus on sex. ...
