Florida Georgia Line’s new album, Anything Goes, will be available this Tuesday, and Tyler Hubbard says, “I think we’ve stepped up our game. I think we’ve really made an attempt to work hard the last two years and get better at singing, get better at writin’ songs, get better at singin’ in the studio and performing. In all the different aspects that we do we’ve tried to step it up.”
Both Tyler and Brian Kelley agree that this new album is a continuation of their debut album, Here’s to the Good Times, and if Brian could give fans who are about to listen to the album a message, he says, “I just say to not have any expectations and just put the disc in or put a playlist on your iPod and just listen down and crank it up and enjoy it. I think Tyler and I are very transparent and this album is a product of the past couple years of our life. It’s exactly where we’re at and it’s 100% who we are. We are living and have lived these songs.”
Anything Goes features FGL’s latest single, “Dirt,” and the guys believe there is something for everybody on this album.

Florida Georgia Line – theme of new album :45
Tyler Hubbard – “Thematically, I think this album is just a continuation, or an evolution of our first album. I think we’ve stepped up our game. I think we’ve really made an attempt to work hard the last two years and get better at singing, get better at writin’ songs, get better at singin’ in the studio and performing. In all the different aspects that we do we’ve tried to step it up and I think for us this is just an album that kinda tells, again, where we’re at and who we are. It means a lot to us, as many walk of life as we have, and as many people that we know, it’s important to us to kinda record a record that has somethin’ for everybody. We think that’s what this does. I think there’s somethin’ for everybody on this album and hopefully everybody loves it man. We’re excited.”
