Bryan kills it
Tuesday, May 19, 2015 – Luke Bryan announced today he is releasing a new album, "Kill the Lights," on Aug. 7.
Bryan also released a new single today, "Kick the Dust Up," which is the name of his summer tour.
Bryan is starting off his shows with the new single. He said in an interview with USA Today, "That's how confident we are in the song being pretty awesome. We figured the socials would start lighting up and people would start learning the words. Once it hits radio, people will catch on real quick.'
Dallas Davidson, Chris DeStefano and Ashley Gorley, who wrote the Bryan hit "That's My Kind of Night," also penned the new single.
"We recorded a lot of songs, and that one stood the test of time. We decided it was worth kicking the album off to. It's a big, anthemic sing-along, so it should be pretty fun."

The original 10 tracks are mostly in the vein of the pop laced chart toppers "One Margarita" and "Knockin' Boots."

After taking in Luke Bryan's "Born Here Live Here Die Here," the listener will never guess this full length was released during a pandemic. Maybe that's a good thing. After all, we might need a diversion from the international health crisis now and then. The release opens with "Knockin' Boots," which is how modern cowboys describe sexual intercourse. A few songs later, Bryan gives us the drinking song (and single) "One Margarita." In between, "What ...
Luke Bryan aims to please often, and that rarely goes unpunished. The Georgia native has a strong voice, some songwriting skill and even legitimate farming cred.
