“Live Here to Work” is available now
Kip Moore has released his new song “Live Here to Work” with a grunge-tinged rock n’ roll music video. Available everywhere through Virgin Music Group, “Live Here to Work” finds Moore reuniting with co-producer Jaren Johnston for a defiant, guitar-drenched anthem striking a rebellious chord between work/life balance as he contends, “My time is short and it ain’t yours / Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind getting my hands in a little dirt / But I don’t live here to work.”
“I think it’s easy as humans to get caught up in the mundaneness of day to day tasks and responsibilities,” states Moore. “Everyone’s had that feeling where they’ve hit that limit and you’re just like ‘fuck that, I have to get off this hamster wheel or my spirit’s gonna die.’ We played it live for the first time at a show a few weeks ago and people lost it. It’s going to be fun to see how others embrace it… or don’t.”
Moore teased the track last week along with the announcement that he has partnered with Virgin Music Group for the next phase of his career.
Moore is in the midst of his marathon Nomad World Tour which resumes in arenas and stadiums this month with a 14-show run in Australia, followed by a return to South Africa where he performed to crowds of over 40,000 fans last year, and culminates with a string of dates in the US this fall.
