Florida Georgia Line’s producer, Joey Moi, is also the producer on all of the rock group Nickelback’s albums, and Brian Kelley says, “I know a lot a people like to hate or love to hate Nickelback, but they put out some amazing songs, sold a ton a records.”
While there may be some subtle similarities between FGL and Nickelback’s music because they do share the same producer Tyler Hubbard says, “Obviously, there’s gonna be a few similarities because that’s the same person makin’ both albums, so it’s just natural. But, I think Joey does a great, great job of kinda keepin’ it separate also, and kinda knowin’ how to add a good taste of somethin’ different in Country Music, but not too much. Just enough to tickle the ear buds, just a little bit.
Overall Florida Georgia line says they love the unique sound that Joey Moi helps them bring to country music. Tyler says, “I think it’s a good departure from Nickelback, and I think Joey’s crushin’ it in the Country world and he’s proved himself in the Rock world, years and years and years and now he’s doin’ the same in Country. So, a lot a respect and love for that guy for sure.”
FGL just celebrated their sixth number one song with “Sun Daze” reaching the top of the charts last week.
