“Gettin’ Gone” featuring Snoop Dogg marks the first song from Ernest’s forthcoming album
Ernest is joined by global icon Snoop Dogg for feel-good twang (and a mile-high flow) on “Gettin’ Gone,” accompanied by the song’s official music video. The track is the first from Ernest’s forthcoming album, Cadillac Sessions, due May 9th via his newly announced DeVille Records in partnership with Big Loud Records.
Co-written by Ernest, “Gettin’ Gone” was first shared informally with Snoop, who immediately asked to be on the track. The video produced by Dustin Haney captures the pair in the country star’s beloved Cadillac DeVille driving around Nashville, outside of Castle Recording Studios and down Broadway.
Cadillac Sessions is a mixtape-style compilation featuring two new originals and one cover from DeVille Records’ talent Grammy-nominated Chandler Walters, Cody Lohden and Rhys Rutherford – plus additional superstar guests, and a few choice cuts from Ernest’s vault.
The organic sonics of honky tonk, Western swing, ’90s country, and more collide with vivid imagery and modern hooks on the project, becoming a hybrid of classic and cutting edge which positions each artist’s skill. Production was done at Nashville’s Castle Recording Studios (featured in the “Gettin’ Gone” music video) and featured throughout the project’s documentary series which captures the creative camaraderie – and the spark of first-time artists living out their dreams, essential to country’s next chapter.
