Country newcomer Renee Blair<\/a> has one of those voices that makes her sound like she\u2019s not a newcomer at all. It sounds more like she\u2019s been at this for a while. It just comes naturally to Blair, and you can hear that in every lyric she writes and every song she sings.<\/p>\n

And with infuences from the Dixie Chicks and Gretchen Wilson to Nelly and Justin Timberlake, the result is a fresh take on her genre-blending kind of country.<\/p>\n

Her brand new video for \u201cGirlfriend\u201d is the perfect example. Here\u2019s what Blair told CMT.com about the story that comes to life in the tune.<\/p>\n

CMT.com: What do you remember most about the day you shot this video?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blair: We were shooting the cover shot, and wanted to get some behind-the-scenes video footage. And it turned into the music video. I had so much fun dancing and singing along to the song and the lighting was so cool. We knew we were onto something. I love how this organically came together and shows my personality more than a formal video.<\/p>\n

How does the video bring your song to life?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to think that I was flirting with the camera, as if it was the imaginary \u201cguy with a girlfriend.\u201d As if I was trying to show him how much fun it would be if we were together.<\/p>\n

What message do you hope your fans take away from the video?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I believe that music is meant to take you to another place, and help all of your worries disappear if only for a fleeting moment. So I hope the video just makes people want to crank their speakers up and dance around just like I\u2019m doing.<\/p>\n

How did it feel to see the finished product for the first time?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like I need to dance and be silly way more often. Shooting this video was definitely one of the more fun things I\u2019ve done with one of my songs thus far. And I remember laughing to myself and the crew who shot the video saying, \u201cIf Shania (Twain) came out in 2019, I hope this is what she\u2019d want her video to look like.\u201d In reality, maybe she\u2019d never pick a black and white video for a vibrant song like this, but I\u2019d watch her videos on CMT as a little girl dying to look as cool as her. So when I first saw this video and I thought it looked \u201ccool,\u201d I couldn\u2019t stop smiling all day, from ear to ear.<\/p>\n
