Black (Dierks Bentley album)

Black is the upcoming eighth studio album by American country music artist Dierks Bentley. It will be released on May 27, 2016, by Capitol Nashville. The lead single, "Somewhere on a Beach", was released to radio on January 18, 2016.

Summary

Bentley announced the album along with its first single "Somewhere on a Beach" on January 18, 2016, via his social media sites.^[1]

Bentley also released a series of music video for "I'll Be the Moon", "What the Hell Did I Say" and "Pick Up".

Bentley commented on the album, saying it was named after his wife Cassidy's maiden name but it's intended to tell a universal story of breakups, hookups, mess-ups and everything in between, shining a light on the things that happen after the sun goes down.

He also commented saying; “It’s a relationship album that covers the ups and downs of the journey and ends with some self-realization and evolvement,” Bentley states. “The song ‘Black’ helps set all of that in motion at the top of the album by guiding you into the darkness and the shadows of the night. The same guy who sings ‘Somewhere On a Beach’ winds up growing and having enough perspective to sing something introspective like ‘Different for Girls.’ By the last song, he’s taking a look back on love and life.”^[2]
