Moore considers "Live Here to Work"
Available everywhere through Virgin Music Group, "Live Here to Work" finds Moore reuniting with co-producer Jaren Johnston of The Cadillac Three for a guitar-infused song striking a rebellious chord between work/life balance: "My time is short and it ain't yours / Don't get me wrong, I don't mind getting my hands in a little dirt / But I don't live here to work."
Moore also released a video of the song.
"I think it's easy as humans to get caught up in the mundaneness of day to day tasks and responsibilities," said Moore. "Everyone's had that feeling where they've hit that limit, and you're just like 'fuck that, I have to get off this hamster wheel, or my spirit's gonna die.' We played it live for the first time at a show a few weeks ago, and people lost it. It's going to be fun to see how others embrace it or don't."
This is Moore's first release after leaving his long-time label, MCA Nashville. Moore teased the upcoming release of "Live Here to Work" last week along with the announcement that he has partnered with Virgin Music Group for the next phase of his career. He spoke with Billboard and stated, "their tenacity, passion and their focus on a global plan made this feel like the next best step. We've been seeing a real growth internationally from touring there the past few years, and so it felt natural to go with a team that has tentacles in a lot of different territories, particularly the countries I have toured extensively." Moore is in the midst of his marathon Nomad World Tour which resumes in arenas and stadiums this month with a 14-show run in Australia, followed by a return to South Africa where he performed to crowds of over 40,000 fans last year, and culminates with a string of dates in the U.S. this fall.
