Song:Pretty Little Girl
Album:Up All Night
Kip Moore was a songwriter in Nashville for several years before scoring a record deal and a Platinum album with his 2012 debut Up All Night. He has a new album coming but he isn't quite finished with it. He was born Apr. 1, 1980 in Tifton, GA. His father was a golfer. While in high school, Moore was torn between sports and music. And while attending Valdosta State University on a golf scholarship, Moore started playing local clubs. He moved to Nashville in 2004. While working during the day, songwriter Brett James got him a publishing deal. James wrote the Carrie Underwood hit Jesus Take The Wheel and then turned to producing. Moore had modest success as a songwriter. His agent got him a record deal at MCA. The single Somethin' 'Bout A Truck topped the country charts. The album Up All Night followed. There were two more hits on the album. Beer Money reached #7 and Pretty Little Girl reached #8. The album was certified Platinum. Moore wrote Somethin' 'Bout A Truck and Pretty Little Girl with frequent songwriting partner Dan Couch. They continue to write together. That album was very successful and it was nominated for a few awards. After a couple of singles from Moore's next album didn't do well, he decided to scrap it and start over. The 2015 album Wild Ones was not as successful as the first album. So for the 2017 album Slowheart, Moore grabbed the production reins with David Garcia and Luke Dick from his band. It did OK but still not as good as the first album. The June 2019 single She's Mine is from Moore's next album. He said on Twitter that the album was finished. Moore told The Boot in December that the album is coming but he's not quite done with it. He said it wasn't supposed to be released until 2020. He is going on tour in March so we should see the new album very soon. I think Moore will have a tough time topping the success of Up All Night. Here's the video of Pretty Little Girl by Kip Moore.
