London, U.K. / Nashville, TN. – (11 October, 2024) – 21-time nominated, multiple Grammy Award winner and country superstar Dwight Yoakam hasunveiled the music video for his new track ‘I Don’t Know How To Say Goodbye (Bang Bang Boom Boom)‘with Post Malone, following its broadcast premiere yesterday (Oct 10) on CMT, CMT Music, CMT Equal and Paramount Times Square Billboard.
Starring Yoakam and Post Malone, the music video also features Nina Dobrev, Malin Akerman and The Babylonian Cowboys (Mitch Marine (Drums), Eugene Edwards (Electric Guitar), Jonathan Clark (Bass Guitar), Steve Peavey (Fiddle, Pedal Steel, Organ). The single was written specifically by Yoakam for a collaboration with Post Malone. The music video was directed by Gregory Alosio.
Yoakam recently confirmed his first album of new music in nine years, Brighter Days, set for release November 15 onVia Records/Thirty Tigers and available to pre-order/pre-save now. The album features ‘I Don’t Know How To Say Goodbye (Bang Bang Boom Boom)’ and another new track, ‘Wide Open Heart‘, out today – listen here.
Written and recorded over the last three years, Brighter Days features 12 brand-new songs written/co-written by Yoakam, as well as three seemingly disparate covers of ‘Keeping On The Sunny Side’ by the Carter Family, ‘Bound Away’ by Cake, and ‘Time Between’ by The Byrds artfully woven into the same body of work in the unmistakable style that could only be Dwight Yoakam.
At once timeless and timely, Yoakam self-produced Brighter Days, infusing a modern appreciation for country music’s history with the trailblazing rock and roll spirit of California. The result is an album that reflects a sense of craftsmanship and immediacy, capturing the quintessential Dwight Yoakam “cool” that has set him apart from his country contemporaries since the beginning of his legendary career. As always, Yoakam’s lyrics throughout the album are both deceptively effortless and profoundly poignant. The album was mixed by world-class engineer Chris Lord-Alge.
