Kristian Bush Releases Second Single From ‘Southern Gravity’

Platinum-selling country star and Streamsound Recording artist Kristian Bush is letting sparks fly with the release of his new single “Light Me Up.” The track is already one of the most added at country radio.

The anthemic love song, co-written by Bush and Jesse Rice (“Cruise”), marks the eagerly awaited follow-up to Bush’s Top 20 hit “Trailer Hitch,” and shows a different side of this multi-faceted artist. “When you are loved by someone, it changes you forever,” says Bush of “Light Me Up.” “I decided to write a song to celebrate that.”

In an exclusive preview with Billboard, Bush shares why “Light Me Up” marks a unique turning point in his decade-long hit-making run at country radio as one-half of Sugarland: “For the first time in my country music career,” he says, “I am getting to sing a love song directly to you.”

“Light Me Up” is featured on Bush’s critically-acclaimed debut solo album Southern Gravity.
