January 15th will be the release date for the digital single "The Good Life." Technically this will be the very first 'true' single Five Times August has released. This means there will actually be some real promotion behind it. It is the song we're going to push in hopes of getting some real radio play and I'll even be making a music video (something I've never done before). It's exciting and I hope you climb on board in helping promote the new record. You should check out the new FTA i-squad - it's important for you to join!
Kelly and I will be heading out to LA on the 16th to shoot the video on the 17th. We'll be working with a great new director Evan Lane who just did Stephen Kellogg & the Sixers new video for "Sweetest Goodbye." We have a pretty cool concept going for the video but I'm not going to spoil it, you'll just have to wait and see!
And now a "Brighter Side" timeline check in...
6 months since I started recording the album
4 months since the record was mixed
3 months since the record was mastered
1 month since the first single was released - "Overrated"
1 month until the REAL first single is released - "The Good Life"
3 months until the album is released
Are you ready for this record to come out yet? 'Cause I am!
Happy Holidays to you,
Brad
