A bold new turn from the Beach Cowboy, Coral Beats pairs his wildly colorful storytelling with tropical textures, euphoric beats, and sublimely breezy grooves. Mainly produced by Kelley’s frequent collaborator Katlin Owen, the album expands his sonic palette with contributions from sought-after musicians like multi-instrumentalist Alex Wright (Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood). Whether celebrating romance, chasing adventure, or finding bliss in life’s simplest moments, Coral Beatsultimately turns summer into a year-round state of mind. See below for the tracklist to Coral Beats. An instant gateway into the album’s idyllic world, Coral Beats kicks off with the lush and laid-back track “Palms And Pines (with ERNEST).” In a loving nod to his home state, Kelley transforms the quintessentially Floridian meeting of palms and pines into a symbol of slowing down and protecting your peace. An easygoing ode to escaping the noise of everyday life, the song draws much of its free-flowing energy from the potent chemistry between Kelley and his longtime friend ERNEST — a chart-topping Country artist who co-wrote “Palms And Pines” with Kelley and Alysa Vanderheym. Watch the official lyric video for “Palms And Pines (with ERNEST)” here. Kelley also shared the official music video for “Jimmy Buffett Summer” today, an immediate fan favorite that doubles as a salute to the Mayor of Margaritaville and a sun-drenched anthem for living in the present. Bringing the song’s carefree spontaneity to life, the video finds Kelley strumming an acoustic guitar beside a seaplane near the shoreline and kicking back in a beach chair as waves crash at his feet, intercut with dramatic cockpit footage of the plane taking flight against a stormy nighttime sky. |
