Kip Moore’s latest single “Somethin’ ‘Bout a Truck” is moving up the country charts, and is also nearing gold certification for paid downloads. Currently, the single lands at No. 12 on the MusicRow CountryBreakout Chart and has sold more than 485,000 units.
The video, which has received about 5.5 million views, has been selected by VEVO for its April “Detected” series. The programming highlights rising musicians through exclusive videos and interviews with Moore as the first country artist.
The single leads the way for the April 24 release of his debut album, Up All Night. Moore wrote or co-wrote every song on the Brett James-produced project.
Moore will join UMGN label mates David Nail and Billy Currington on the latter’s 2012 headlining tour.
“There is no way to emotionally prepare for what is happening right now,” Moore says. “The whole thing is more humbling than anything else. You always believe in yourself as an artist and believe that it is going to happen, but when it is actually happening, you get so used to it not happening that when it starts working, there is no way to put into words how that feels.”
