“I
was ready to have fun, so it’s been really cool to see the fans
immediately react to this song the way they have,” said Bentley. “As I
literally sit on a beach right now in Cancun, I can’t remember ever
being this excited about a new single.”

Critics
were also quick to jump onboard, noting the “lead single from
forthcoming album ‘Black’ is all about the relationship rebound…over an
R&B-tinged groove, Bentley sings about a guy shaking off his breakup
blues by enjoying the company of a beautiful lady and partying his ass
off in the sand” (Rolling Stone), while Entertainment Weekly adds “it’s not more than one trip through the sexy chorus before you’re on a kayak, trying to find a way to do the same.”

Since
moving from Phoenix to Nashville in the 1990s, Bentley has established
his own artistic trail in country music. Instead of rehashing proven
formulas, he’s doggedly reinvented his sound and subsequently developed
an uncommon mix of commercial success and critical respect. RISER
debuted at No. one on the Billboard country album chart, and its trio of
chart-topping singles upped his career tally to 13 No one. songs as a
songwriter and artist. He’s now amassed 13 GRAMMY nominations and dozens
of other award show nominations. Additionally, Bentley has been a Grand
Ole Opry member for over a decade and will co-host the 51st Annual ACM
Awards this April on CBS. For more information on new music, upcoming
