Pre-order for multi award-winning music group, Hunter Brothers’ new album, Been A Minute starts today, with a free release of the track, “Ask Her To Dance”, giving listeners a taste of what they can look forward to when their much-anticipated third studio album hits all digital platforms on June 30, and in physical retail on July 2.
“It’s ‘Been A Minute’ since we’ve played a live show. We miss performing and seeing the fans we love. We chose this as the title track of the album because it captures the season we are in right now, and tells the story of the last year,” said Ty Hunter. “We truly hope this collection of songs brings hope, joy, and light to those listening, and that it allows people to look forward to the day when we can all safely gather again and enjoy the beauty of human connection.”
Been A Minute is a compilation of Hunter Brothers’ signature harmonies and up-tempo hits which delve into the heart of the times the world is presently walking through. Five-time GRAMMY© Award nominee Hunter Hayes produced and co-wrote three tracks off the album, and was a key collaborator in the creative process of recording vocals for the record during a pandemic.
Tracks like “Hard Dirt” and “Just Wanted You to Know” speak to empathy, the challenges of life, and coming through circumstances more resilient than before, both as individuals and communities. “Captain” speaks to uncertainty while simultaneously acknowledging belief that there may be a greater picture we can’t fully see. The grat track, “Ask Her to Dance” reminds us to prioritize what’s most important in life, and not let the little moments pass us by. Songs like “Now or Never” and “Diamonds” are classic Hunter Brother tracks that thread the rest of the album together in a fun way, while “Take” spotlights the harmonies and the pursuit of relationship.
Released to radio and digital platforms on March 19, Hunter Brothers’ current single “Been A Minute” was the #1 most added single on all formats on Canadian radio the week of April 3, and is charting in the Top 30 on country radio in Canada. The concept behind the new music video for “Been A Minute” centralizes around their desire to play live shows, and getting out into the open air to play – whether it was for people or not.
