Kip Moore has released a new track called “Southpaw" from his upcoming fourth studio album, Wild World, due out on May 29th. He co-wrote and produced the song, which he shared acoustically as the next installment of his “In The Wild Sessions" video series. This latest clip was shot in the heart of Red River Gorge in Kentucky.
Kip said, “'Southpaw' started from a feeling of being on the outside looking in on modern society. I don’t want my edges to be smoothed to fit into a box. I woke up the day we wrote it feeling like I was born in the wrong era. I grew up a boxing fan and a Southpaw was always a rare sighting, unpredictable and hard to prepare for. I wrote the song with Westin Davis in South Dakota and we’ve always understood each other like brothers and being kind of cut from the same cloth. I knew he would get my headspace that day and he always brings the magic. And on the recording side of things, I don’t think I’ve ever felt so much juice in a session.”’
The Wild World album includes 13 songs, all but one of which were co-written by Kip.
He'll join Sam Hunt on his headlining The Southside Summer Tour now set to launch in July.
