Florida Georgia Line’s latest album, Life Rolls On, is available now!
The 16-track album, which Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley co-produced, features their current hit single, “Long Live,” as well as the fan favorite number-one hit, “I Love My Country.”
This is the 5th album from the duo — following 2019’s Can’t Say I Ain’t Country, and Tyler couldn’t be happier with how Life Rolls On turned out, “Every artist says this with every album, I feel like this is our strongest collection of work, our strongest project we’ve done. I feel like there’s a nostalgic feel to it that kind of takes us back to our first album in a way, but also elevated. And it kind of showcases how much we’ve grown.”
Brian shares that Life Rolls On was super important for him to focus on, and helped him get through the last year, “You know, it’s been a interesting, difficult year, I think for all of us frustrating at times, but I think our faith is definitely in the Lord and our family’s our foundation. And music has been a huge outlet for us all throughout our lives, and probably more so than ever this year, so just leanin’ on creativity, leanin’ on the music. We’ve kind of all been creating a little different than usual, obviously over Zoom and sending out parts. It’s just been interesting but we’ve all pivoted and really enjoying where it’s at. There’s a lot of love on this album, there’s some party and there’s a lot of feel-good. So, it was a blast makin’ this record for sure.”
Tyler echoes that thought, “It was a blast makin’ this record. I hope that is transparent and I hope the fans can feel that through the music. We went down to the Bahamas and spent ten days down there doing vocals on it, and we just had a blast. We got to co-produce this record with Corey Crowder. This is the first album we’ve done with Corey Crowder and it was just the most fun we’ve probably ever had making music. I mean, it brought back the joy and it was quite an awesome process.”
Tyler adds, “I just feel like there’s a lot of hope in this music, there’s a lot of joy. And I feel like although we recorded it a year ago, it feels like it’s so timely for where we’re at in the world. And we hope it brings some joy and love and good energy into the world, for sure.”
And when it comes to their current single climbing the chart, Tyler says, ‘Long Live’ was just a really, really special song that we wrote, I don’t know, now probably a couple years ago. I remember being on the road and we were on the Tree Vibez bus with Josh Miller, David Garcia and [Corey] Crowder, and we felt like the whole time, that we were channeling that 2012 Florida Georgia Line and just some of that real feel-good, nostalgic party music. I don’t know, it just had a really good energy and really positive and felt like it just took us back down memory lane every time we heard it. So, we just continued to listen to it and fall in love with it more and more over the course of the next year, and then [when it] came time to cut the album, we said, this song’s a no-brainer and it has to go on this album. It feels like such a big song and such a necessary song and a timely song, even more timely now than ever.”
