Justin Moore’s latest single, “You Look Like I Need A Drink,” is the first release off his upcoming Kinda Don’t Care album. When it came to choosing the first song that he wanted fans to hear from his new album, Justin says his new album has a lot of diverse sounds on it, “but seein’ as how we were off of radio for six, eight months, we didn’t want to freak everybody out after being gone for a little bit. So we thought, man, let’s give ‘em something that they know is me and they go, ‘Okay, it’s Justin.’ Plus, at the time we put that out, we had guys goin’, ‘Man, I need some country, country music, and that’s a pretty country song, so we felt pretty good about it.”
Justin was glad to have the time off between his last album and this one. He says, “(It) was good for me personally and professionally. It was good to just take a deep breath and try to see where we wanted to go next with our music, and this music on this album is a really good combination between things like ‘You Look Like I Need A Drink,’ which is pretty much right down my alley, you know, right in my wheelhouse, and stuff that’s a little bit different for us, which is something we have to continue to push ourselves to do.”
Justin Moore’s new album, Kinda Don’t Care, will be released on August 12th.

Justin Moore – Need a Drink best first single 1:05
“Well, you know, we were off of radio with new music for six, eight months or whatever it was, which was good for me personally and professionally. It was good to just take a deep breath and try to see where we wanted to go next with our music, and this music on this album is a really good combination between things like ‘You Look Like I Need A Drink,’ which is pretty much right down my alley, you know, right in my wheelhouse, and stuff that’s a little bit different for us, which is something we have to continue to push ourselves to do. But had we came right back out with something right after the previous single, we probably would have put something different out, but seein’ as how we were off of radio for six, eight months, we didn’t want to freak everybody out after being gone for a little bit. So we thought, man, let’s give ‘em something that they know is me and they go, ‘Okay, it’s Justin.’ Plus, at the time we put that out, we had guys goin’, ‘Man, I need some country, country music, and that’s a pretty country song, so we felt pretty good about it.”
