Brad Paisley‘s new album Love And War is out today (4/21) and he says that the project is like “a movie.”

The project is Brad’s 11th studio album since his debut album Who Needs Pictures was released in 1999. Love And War has already produced the #1 song “Today.”

Brad encourages fans to listen to the album from beginning to end. “The record, when ingested as a whole like this, when you go beginning to end, I like to think that you will take dips and the valleys and the peaks and laugh at something like “Selfie” and feel for somebody like “Gold All Over the Ground” to “Dying To See Her,” through “The Devil is Alive and Well” to the very end,” he explains.

“You’ll feel all of these things. It should feel like the ups and downs of a movie or a concert or anything like that.”

The second single from Love And War will be a song called “Last Time For Everything.” Brad said, “One of the things I said when they asked me what to say about the song and I said this is everything I love about music. It’s nostalgia, there’s guitar playing it’s sort of a bunch of different influences come out.”

He explains that fans will hear a lot of 80s influences in the new single, both musical and more, “You can hear elements of Van Halen and The Police that I just sort of buried and subtly put in there that kind of represent different eras. There’s humor in it with the mullet aspect of this and this song is everything I love about country music.”
