Today is the day! Dierks Bentley has released his eighth studio album, “Black” via iTunes and various retailers.
Bentley has previously explained that the new album, “Black”, is partially named for his wife…and was produced by Ross Copperman and executive producer Arturo Buenahora Jr.
It’s a relationship album that covers the ups and downs of the journey and ends with some self-realization and evolvement,” Bentley notes in a press release. “The song “Black” helps set all of that in motion at the top of the album by guiding you into the darkness and the shadows of the night. The same guy who sings “Somewhere on a Beach” winds up growing and having enough perspective to sing something introspective like “Different for Girls.” By the last song, he’s taking a look back on love and life.”
Black features 13 tracks, including its first single, “Somewhere on a Beach” which is already gaining air play on country radio. Special guest vocalists include Maren Morris, Elle King and Trombone Shorty.
Having a female perspective on this record really made the album more than just music,” Bentley notes. “It makes it a conversation between a guy and a girl. Sometimes it’s harmonious, and sometimes it’s two people clashing, but it’s always there.”
