It's been a great week for Chase Rice. The country newcomer was just tapped by Kenny Chesney to be a part of Chesney's 2015 Big Revival Tour. Rice's new single, "Gonna Wanna Tonight," is hitting the charts. And the single is being aided by a really cool animated lyric video. Those kind of things make for a great week.
"Gonna Wanna Tonight" follows Rice's recent Top 5 "Ready Set Roll," the lead single from his debut major label album "Ignite the Night." The new single delivers a down-home and, yes, flirtatiously suggestive list of things a gal and a guy in love can do throughout the course of a day. The good times of the song are enhanced by the very creative animated video which is, itself, a whole lot of fun.
Watch the new lyric video for "Gonna Wanna Tonight" here.
"Gonna Wanna Tonight," written by Shane McAnally, Jon Nite and Jimmy Robbins is one of only four songs not written by Rice on his chart-topping album. "Ignite the Night" debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums and No. 3 on the all-genres chart.
"Rice takes a wholly modern approach on his debut major-label album. [...] the huge crowds rallying behind the singer's contemporaries will find plenty to like about 'Ignite The Night' and the clever ways he's found to enliven this new country trend," the Associated Press raved.
Rice will round out 2014 by continuing his cross-country trek with the Ignite The Night Tour, which has already sold out 16 shows and counting. Remaining tour dates are as follows:
