‘Fall of Summer’, the Second Single from Critically Acclaimed Album Rise & Fall, Top 40 and Climbing the Charts
LONDON, UK. / NASHVILLE. TN. – (For Immediate Release) – Triple Tigers recording artist Scotty McCreery has released the official music video for his current radio single, ‘Fall of Summer‘. The video made its premiere via CMT on Friday (11th October), being played on the Paramount billboard in New York City’s Times Square. It debuted later on YouTube followed by a special YouTube afterparty. Watch the ‘Fall of Summer’ video HERE.
The new video, directed by McCreery’s frequent collaborator, Austin, Texas-based filmmaker Jeff Ray, finds McCreery in his beloved home state of North Carolina on the shores of North Topsail Beach while the video’s storyline featuring a couple’s summer of love that fades with the autumn breeze was shot in Galveston, Texas.
“This video really captures that nostalgic look back at a past summer love that ‘Fall of Summer’ is all about” said McCreery. “Does the couple make it or does the relationship end off-camera? I want to hear what people think.”
Written by McCreery, Frank Rogers and Brent Anderson and produced by Rogers, Derek Wells, and Aaron Eshuis, ‘Fall of Summer’, is currently Top 40 and climbing the chart at US country radio, and was most added in its first week. Filled with mature nostalgia, and built on one of the album’s most modern, cinematic sounds, the mid-tempo and reflective standout finds the country crooner’s vocal at a low simmer, as a guy looks back on a season of life that ultimately faded, but also made room for the here and now.
Rise & Fall is McCreery’s most critically acclaimed album to date, with Billboard naming it one of the 50 Best Albums of 2024 (So Far). The album’s first single, ‘Cab in a Solo’, recently became his sixth No. 1 hit. Listen to the album Rolling Stone says is “every bit as legit as Jamey Johnson’s That Lonesome Song, Garth Brooks’ In Pieces, or Randy Travis’ Storms of Life,” HERE. And check out “Fall of Summer (NC State Version)” recently released due to popular demand, HERE.
“Across the 13-track collection, McCreery exhibits his continued growth as a vocalist and songwriter,” notes Holler. People echoes the sentiment, writing that the album “brims with a newfound confidence and maturity,” while Country Now calls it “his best record yet,” and American Songwriter declares it a “career album” as Rise & Fall finds him exploring not only heartbreak but rowdy nights, nostalgia, faith, newfound joy, fatherhood and enduring love, resulting in a project full of insightful storytelling. The album was produced by McCreery’s longtime production team of Frank Rogers, Derek Wells and Aaron Eshuis.
McCreery co-wrote 12 of the 13 songs on the album, which Billboard observes, “Light-hearted fare such as ‘Stuck Behind a Tractor’ and ‘And Countin’’ mesh with heartbreak brushoffs such as ‘Lonely,’ the bluegrass-inflected album-closer ‘Porch’ and the faith-filled ‘Red Letter Blueprint’.” It is available digitally as well as on CD and vinyl. Order autographed vinyl and CDs of Rise & Fall HERE.
Having spent almost half his life in the spotlight making country music, the North Carolina native is currently in the midst of his headlining Fall of Summer Tour. Named after his current single of the same name, the tour is taking the North Carolina native across the US and Canada. McCreery will also make his long-awaited return to the UK next year, with five headline dates across England, Scotland and Northern Ireland:
May 23 – Belfast – Live at Botanic Gardens
May 25 – Glasgow – Barrowland Ballroom
May 27 – Birmingham – O2 Institute Birmingham
May 29 – Manchester – O2 Ritz
May 30 – London – O2 Forum Kentish Town
