  • Rascal Flatts: Changed
    im Auftrag: medienAgentur Stefan Michel T 040-5149 1467 F 01805 - 060347 90476 [email protected] Rascal Flatts: Changed VÖ in Deutschland: 22.01.2013 Rascal Flatts ist längst in der Liga der amerikanischen Superstars angekommen und haben in ihrer zwölfjährigen Bandgeschichte unglaubliche Erfolge gefeiert. Ihre Alben und Singles erreichten fast ausnahmslos die ersten Plätze der amerikanischen Country-Charts. Bisher hat die Band mehr als 21 Mio. Alben, 25 Mio. digitale Downloads und 7 Mio. Konzerttickets verkauft und wurde mit etlichen Awards ausgezeichnet. U.a. erhielt sie von der Country Music Association sechs Jahre in Folge den CMA Award als „Vocal Group of the Year“ und wurde für die Single „Bless The Broken Road“ mit dem Grammy ausgezeichnet. Spätestens seit ihrer Gastrolle bei „CSI: Den Tätern auf der Spur“ (10. Staffel, Episode 14) sind die 3 Jungs aus Ohio auch in Deutschland ein Begriff. 2012 bekam die Band einen Stern auf dem Hollywood Walk of Fame. Auch in einer vielseitigen, erfolgreichen Karriere wie die der Band, gibt es Zeiten in denen es nicht schwer fällt, den Moment einzufangen. Manchmal reicht dafür sogar ein einziges Wort: Changed (auf Deutsch: verändert). „Wenn man bedenkt was wir in den letzten zwei Jahren durchgemacht haben, kann ich mir keinen besser passenden Album-Titel vorstellen“, so Bassist Jay DeMarcus. 2010 trennte sich die Band von ihrem langjährigen Management und wechselten zum Label Big Machine Records (das Label von u.a. Taylor Swift). Zum Glück haben sich die wichtigsten Merkmale der Band nicht verändert: Ihre steigenden Harmonien, die Fähigkeit Songs zu schreiben, die berühren, ihre tollen Performances.

  • Rascal Flatts Debut 'Back to Life,' Experiment with Singles-Only Business Model: Lyric Video Premiere
    (09.28.18) - https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/country/8477320/rascal-flatts-back- to-life-lyric-video Rascal Flatts Debut 'Back to Life,' Experiment With Singles-Only Business Model: Lyric Video Premiere For the members of Rascal Flatts, new single “Back to Life” doesn’t just contain a winning formula for a hit; the midtempo ballad is also a sweet testament to the women in their lives. Lead singer Gary LeVox says the Big Machine Records trio was initially drawn to the song -- written by Cary Barlowe, Niko Moon, Dan + Shay’s Shay Mooney and Fred Wilhelm -- because of a melody he calls “so infectious” that’s also reminiscent of some of the band’s previous hits. “We’ve had such great success with those 6/8 waltzes in the past,” he says, such as “Easy” and “Come Wake Me Up.” Additionally, “We thought that melody on the B section going into the chorus was so different, and we just really, really loved it and thought it would be a great song for the end of the summer.” The track went to country radio Friday (Sept. 28). Billboard premieres the lyric video below: The lyrics also resonated with LeVox and bandmates Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney, all happily married. With lines like “Taking my hand, pulling me up when I’m going under” and “I don’t want to think about where I would be without her,” LeVox says, “That’s how we look at our wives, as just being the anchors, and our moms. They’re the ones that keep us from going under half the time.” Adds DeMarcus, who produced the single along with his bandmates, “It’s a pretty empowering song for women to let them know how much power they really have when it comes to being a support system for their husbands, and how much life they can bring to us whenever we’re going through dark times.” After 10 albums, Rascal Flatts are trying out a new, singles-based business model, which means that while “Back to Life” is a brand-new song, it’s not necessarily the lead single from a forthcoming album.

Radio pros we talked to after Sunday night’s 45th Annual ACM Awards found plenty to like and agreed on the few missteps. “Overall big positives from the show,” says WFMS/Indianapolis PD Vicki Murphy. “Our Facebook page was hopping with real-time reaction. Rave reviews for Reba, and people seemed genuinely happy for the winners, with limited snark when their favorites didn’t win. Most expected a Taylor win for Entertainer. “For me, the show seemed to pace very well with tons of great performances [and] everyone seemed genuinely happy for one another. Reba getting weepy at the B&D intro, Hillary visibly proud of Miranda, Carrie cheering for Miranda, and the warm ovations from the crowd seemed like a mutual admiration society. It’s kinda refreshing. (Such a shame that the mics were wacky for B&D!) I also asked our Facebook fans if any performances would motivate them to get out and buy the music: Miranda, Carrie and Lady A all got mentions.” “It sucked that it went up against the country edition of Celebrity Apprentice,” says KEEY/Minneapolis’ Gregg Swedberg. “Best thing I saw on TV last night was Emily West singing and looking like a superstar.
