The good-time rallying cry launches the summer season
Back like never before, gale force vocalist and lauded Sony Music Nashville singer/songwriter Kameron Marlowe returns, kickstarting summer with his anthemic new single “Seventeen,” out now.
A driving, country-rock number written by Marlowe, Tucker Beathard, Austin Goodloe, and Joybeth Taylor – with an additional credit to Bruce Springsteen, whose “Born In The U.S.A.” is briefly called out in the smash – “Seventeen” dishes up a dose of carefree nostalgia. Marlowe’s commanding baritone anchors the Dann Huff-produced sprint, sweeping listeners up in a snapshot: the dog days of a teenage summer and a rebellious good time on the edge of the rest of their lives.
“One of my favorite things about music is how it can transport you to a specific time and place,” Marlowe says of the single. “We wrote ‘Seventeen,’ about that feeling you have when you’re young and on top of the world. I spent my summers listening to music on the lake with my friends, getting into trouble and making some of the best memories of my life. I hope this song takes you back there with us.”
Bringing the single to life, the Matt Paskert-directed official music video for “Seventeen” is also out to celebrate the release. Shot at a lake house in Joelton, Tennessee, the clip features a group of old friends, flashing back and forth between the playful antics of their teenage years to present day reminiscence around a back porch card table.
Taking “Seventeen” and more from his critically acclaimed catalog directly to fans, Marlowe has a packed-out touring schedule all summer and fall. Next week, he takes the platform stage at Nashville’s 69k+ capacity Nissan Stadium and performs on the Chevy Riverfront Stage at CMA Fest, before playing fairs and festivals throughout the summer and hitting the road with Parker McCollum late summer into fall.
