A lot of people have a lot of opinions about today’s country music, some good and some bad, but Brian Kelley of Florida Georgia Line says, “Country Music to me is in the coolest spot it’s ever been because you see a lotta collaborations. The sounds that are comin’ out are incredible.”
FGL has definitely been credited with bringing a unique sound and putting their own spin on today’s country music with songs like “Cruise” and “This Is How We Roll” and even their latest single, “Dirt.” Some people have been critical of how far they’re pushing the boundaries, but Brian says, “I just think, if you don’t like it, whether it’s ‘FGL’ or whoever, just turn it off and change the channel. You don’t have to say anything negative about it. Positive energy is good.”
