I wrote this song as an exclamation of getting to explore more of myself and what turns me on. The video was an opportunity to tell more of that story, tying in the idea of \u2018joining the dance.\u2019 Because when you finally get up and do the dance, literally and metaphorically speaking, it feels so damn good.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Corey Kent, \u201cHold Up\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\">Embedded from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JqXW7txVxTA?feature=oembed\">www.youtube.com<\/a>. <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;iframe&quot;}\"><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JqXW7txVxTA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/noscript><\/div>\n<p><em>Writers: Corey Kent + Brad Clawson; Director: Preston Leatherman<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Influences:<\/strong> Kings of Leon, Eric Church, The Rolling Stones, Dierks Bentley, Eagles, John Mayer, Turnpike Troubadours<\/p>\n<p><strong>From the Artist:<\/strong> \u201c\u2018Hold Up\u2019 was such a natural song to write. I bet we didn\u2019t spend more than an hour writing this one. I had just seen a Turnpike Troubadours show in Tulsa and was pretty inspired. Life was moving pretty fast and that concert slowed life down for a couple hours. Just a couple beers and singing along to some great music.

To bring the song to life, I worked with Montreal puppet artist Christopher Godziuk \u2014 this is our second in a three-part collaboration. His team spent months designing and constructing characters and sets (and filling their whole studio with sand!) to film this project, which follows a trickster-like devil figure through a watery underworld.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Chuck Mead, \u201cBig Bear in the Sky\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\">Embedded from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9tvbLtNVCKY?feature=oembed\">www.youtube.com<\/a>. <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;iframe&quot;}\"><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9tvbLtNVCKY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/noscript><\/div>\n<p><em>Writer: Chuck Mead; Director: Billy Woodward<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Influences:<\/strong> Hank Williams, The Beatles<\/p>\n<p><strong>From the Artist:<\/strong> \u201c\u2018Big Bear in the Sky\u2019 is a song based on a Mi\u2019kmaq (a First Nations people from up in Canada) legend about the constellation Ursula Major represented as a giant she-bear being chased across the sky by hunters as the seasons pass. I pretty much tried to tell the whole story like in one of those Johnny Horton historic songs but all revved up like Dick Dale.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Carolyn Miller, \u201cSummer Time\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\">Embedded from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0ScAHQo0mzk?feature=oembed\">www.youtube.com<\/a>. <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;iframe&quot;}\"><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0ScAHQo0mzk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/noscript><\/div>\n<p><em>Writers: Blake Bollinger, Lance Carpenter, Leah Turner; Director: Preston Leatherman<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Influences:<\/strong> Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Faith Hill, Adele<\/p>\n<p><strong>From the Artist:<\/strong> \u201cThis song reflects back on that one summer romance you\u2019ll never forget. We all have one \u2013 it doesn\u2019t matter if it happened when you were 14, 22, 35, etc\u2026 No matter how much time goes by you\u2019ll always remember those days like it was yesterday! This is my first ever music video and it was such a blast to film.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI split my time between New York and Nashville, so it was important to capture both of those places in the video and stay true to who I am. The performance scenes in the house and field were shot in Nashville and all the other locations you see in the video are spots I grew up going to on Long Island during the summer months. Fun fact \u2013 my costar is my husband! We had so much fun filming this video together.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Olivia Ooms, \u201cCalifornia Country\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\">Embedded from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MPiRcjXllrA?feature=oembed\">www.youtube.com<\/a>. <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;iframe&quot;}\"><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MPiRcjXllrA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/noscript><\/div>\n<p><em>Writers: Olivia Ooms, Jamie O\u2019Neal; Director: David Javier<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Influences:<\/strong> Kacey Musgraves, Maren Morris<\/p>\n<p><strong>From the Artist:<\/strong> \u201cThe lyrics in \u2018California Country\u2019 were born out of my California roots with my love for country music and all things Southern. I write about what I know and what I dream about. I thought of the road trip concept in the video because I did a spontaneous summer camping trip down the coast of California this summer and ended up sleeping on the sand at Pismo Beach high above the clouds at a very remote area that didn\u2019t have bathrooms, but had a five-star view from our tent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was exhilarating to head out with no plan. And breathtakingly beautiful! When discussing possible storylines for this music video with my Director David Javier, the idea of road-tripping with my band took on a life of its own. I knew how visually appealing we could make it. And the fun it would portray! It quickly became a metaphor for \u2018traveling along the road of life and the many people we meet who influence us along our journey.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmt.com\/news\/1812555\/cmt-next-up-now-volume-6\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: CMT News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by CMT.com Staff 28m ago Next Up Now brings together a variety of country music videos each week.
