Florida Georgia Line share with fans how their fourth album is "going to be bigger and more special"
Even if you are not a country music fan, you have probably definitely heard Florida Georgia Line’s new single ‘Simple.’ It’s catchy, and it’s got this cruisy vibe. It is the kind of song you’d want to listen to on a road trip. It has been quite a year for FGL singers Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard, especially after their collaboration with Bebe Rexha ‘Meant to be’ came out. The tune was a perfect amalgamation of both pop and country, creating a melody that appealed to many. The song has had over a billion streams reports Taste of Country.
While the song helped establish Bebe’s career, it revolutionized Brian and Tyler’s. The song landed Bebe the title of the first female artist to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. She also broke Taylor Swift’s record for spending the most weeks in the No. 1 spot on the chart for a lead female artist. The song marked yet another FGL success on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, making it to the top 10.
If ‘Meant to be’ changed your opinion on country-pop collaborations, prepare for another one. "We got a song coming out with Jason Derulo in a couple months probably that we're pretty excited about. We think it's a good 'Meant to Be' follow up, real special song," they announced at the 2018 Billboard Country Power Players event in Nashville.
They even have an R&B inspired ballad on the album. With all this excitement around their new songs, FGL are picking the perfect time to release their fourth album now. They have already released 'Simple' a single from their anticipated album Speaking of their upcoming album Tyler said, "Our whole fourth album, I think it's going to be bigger and more special than any of our previous albums. We've really poured a lot of heart into it and been working and writing for about a year and a half on it. So we're very excited and can't wait for the fans to hear it."
Apart from creating extraordinary music, the duo have a portfolio filled with business ventures that include a restaurant and an event venue FGL House. They recently announced a five-night Las Vegas residency and are even considering diving into the waterfront scene with an FGL Boat House.
Keeping in mind all their musical and business success, Billboard honored them with their first-ever Trailblazer Award. Speaking about the award, Brian said, "It's extremely humbling. I think this really makes us circle back to how we got started and the foundation that we've built, all the places we've been, the people that we've met, the songs we've put out. It really puts everything into perspective and we're super thankful to present our art and our craft and our music in a fresh, unique way to our fans."
