Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard – short Florida Georgia Line, have been the superstars of modern country music since 2012: “Cruise” was awarded 10 platinum awards. “Meant To Be” with Bebe Rexha was also a big hit. They have released 17 singles, an unbelievable 13.1 billion streams, more than 33.9 million tracks sold and 4.7 million albums sold worldwide. Concerts are sold out within hours – who knows what the two of them can still do, true to the motto: Life Rolls On!
“Personally, I think this is just a big, solemn chapter,” Hubbard explains. “We have come a long way since 2012 when we released our first album. It’s crazy to think about the journey we’ve been through – the things we have to do, the places where music has taken us. We celebrate life and the good times, the ups and downs and the journey that has brought us to where we are now. “
The number of tracks on the current album is particularly striking: they have pressed 16 tracks on CD. In times when artists are releasing EP’s with 5 to 7 tracks for almost the same money, that’s a great thing – lots of music for little money! But is quantity the same as quality? In this case the answer is clear: yes, album number 5 has some great song pearls and is never boring for a second!
Let’s see what “Life Rolls On” has to offer musically: The songs tell about country life (I Love My Country). “Beer: 30”, clearly a “Drinking Song” as it stands in the book. “New Truck” – hm, is also clear, right? “Good To Me” and “Life Looks Good” – is everything you imagine life to be like! “Long Live” is a small homage to the legends of country music. With “US Stronger” you can see the unrestricted patriotism – the great country “America” and the ballads “Always Gonna Love You”, “Long Time Comin ‘” and “Eyes Closed”, which are hopefully romantic!
Conclusion: If there is a band or duo that brings “Country Music 3.0” on the way, it is Florida Georgia Line with “Life Rolls On”! Rap, HipHop – meets Country & Pop. That might be a bit too modern for the die-hard country music fan, but musically it is very, very worth listening to. A great CD!
