Dierks Bentley seemingly teased a new collaboration on the way on Tuesday (March 11).
Bentley shared a sneak peek of an unreleased anthem on Instagram, singing it as he sits at a bar with a mug of beer in his hands. He wrote in the caption that the song is titled “Cold Beer Can,” and hinted that another artist is featured on the track. He confirmed on Wednesday morning (March 12) that the collaboration is with Stephen Wilson Jr., and it will release on Friday (March 14).
Most recently, Bentley released “She Hates Me,” a revenge-fueled breakup anthem he wrote with longtime collaborators Ashley Gorley, Ross Copperman and Chase McGill. The music video sees Bentley trying to outrun his revenge-seeking ex-girlfriend. He said in a statement of the story behind the song: “We were goofing around with this idea before diving into our next ‘serious’ song, really just trying to make each other laugh. It just fell out, and I didn’t think much more about it after that. But then it really came to life in the studio, and then my kids were requesting it and then I was getting texts from friends who had heard it, so I started taking it more seriously! I love any opportunity to laugh at myself – especially my younger self, and ‘She Hates Me’ definitely provides that. I can’t wait for my fans to see the music video!”
In late May, Bentley will hit the road on his headlining “Broken Branches Tour” with singer-songwriter Zach Top and Georgia duo The Band Loula. Bentley will take the stage at more than 30 arenas and amphitheaters across the country. See the list of upcoming tour stops below.
“I’m 20(ish) years into doing this, and I’ve seriously never been more excited about a tour,” Bentley said in a statement when he announced the tour last month. “We had Zach out for a few shows last summer, and I knew right away that we had to do more together. He loves the same kind of country music I do, and he’s got the bluegrass chops to hang with the best of ‘em in a jam. I’ve got a million ideas for the set list rolling around in my head. It’ll be fun to figure out how to make it all come to life with a new album and new production.”
