After slowing things down with “You and Tequila,” Kenny Chesney will power it up again with the release of his next single – “Reality”.
The single, written by Chesney and Brett James, should hit country radio next week. Meanwhile, “You and Tequila” sits at #3 on the Billboard Top Country Songs chart.
What do you think of this choice for the next single?
A new single from Kenny Chesney is available for download now from iTunes and AmazonMP3. “Rise Up” is the theme song to a new ESPN series that premiers Tuesday night.
It’s a first of its kind… a digital version of a concert film made available on your smartphone. You can now download the Kenny Chesney: Summer in 3D app to your iPhone or Android phone to watch the film anytime, anywhere.
Qello’s debut product, the Chesney App, is a first-of-its-kind HD concert App with easy to navigate chapters. Qello is releasing the Chesney concert film through a special digital marketing campaign with the support of the Apple and Droid App Marketplace. Following this first release on mobile devices, the concert film App will extend into the Gaming Console market and ITPV, spanning across all of Qello’s digital distribution, and making Chesney the first ever concert film on every device, anytime.
President of Qello Bob Frank says, “Kenny Chesney is one of the most popular performers in the world and a perfect partner for the launch of the exciting Qello platform. Just as Netflix did for movies, Qello is a first-mover, changing the way music fans will consume live concerts.”
With the Qello premiere of Chesney’s most recent tour, fans can relive the fun, the songs, and the moments that make Kenny Chesney the must-see concert experience.
Chesney says, “It was an amazing — and at times scary — experience to have cameras that close, in the air, in a blimp… cause they’re everywhere. But when you see what this film captures… well, even for me, who’s in the eye of the storm, I was taken aback! It has all the energy, all the thrills, and even better focus on some of the most rocking nights I can imagine. If you see this, you’ve seen me in a way I’ve never been seen…”

In a recent interview Kenny Chesney offers some commentary on coming up in the CD age but now living in the digital age:
“Obviously, the business has changed,” he says. “But I still believe that there are a percentage of people out there that want to… hear the investment the artist makes. And I still believe there’s people out there that want to hear the record, what they’re doin’ and what they’re sayin’. And, I know I do. I mean, do I buy songs off iTunes? Yeah. But I still want to hear some people’s records that are comin’ out this year.”
Kenny made his very first album in 1993, before the Internet was really a factor in social culture. He came along at the height of the CD era and has, of course, seen the entire explosion online, where he has his own website and even his own Internet music station, No Shoes Radio.
“I’ve watched it progress, and there’s some things I do like about it, and there’s some things that I don’t,” Kenny says. “I still believe that makin’ a record — a whole record — for the fans is important. I hope that never goes away, somebody wanting to hear a piece of music. It helps invest the audience into your music and into you as a person. And I sincerely hope that that doesn’t change.”
You can also get it at Amazon’s MP3 Store (also $1.29). Preview and purchase below:

We reported on it last month, and now the wait is nearly over. On Monday, Kenny Chesney will release his own official iPhone/iTouch app for free through the Apple iTunes App Store.
“The sun and the sand in the palm of your hand” is the phrase posted on a teaser image here. It was sent out Sunday afternoon on Kenny’s Twitter and Facebook.
This promises to be a very rich app. Looking at the pictures, it will include the ability to play No Shoes Radio, information on the tour and ticket sales, an online store, media, and news.
The image also shows a “connect” option with the Twitter symbol, and since tweets have been sent from the app, there will apparently be built-in support for tweeting straight from the app.
