Round Here Records’ PLATINUM-hitmaker Canaan Smith escapes to a backwoods hideaway in his brand-new video for “Cabin In The Woods” – out now.

First premiering on CMT, CMT Music and CMT.com Friday (1/8), the clip was shot in McEwen, Tennessee and marks Smith’s co-directing debut alongside Kurt Ozan. Bringing the rootsy, midtempo tune to life, it highlights memories being made at a special spot in the middle of nowhere – from partying around a fire with friends to falling in love.

When it comes to fans’ reactions to the video, Smith has one thing in mind – “I hope they can relate to it, first of all,” he tells CMT. “And that it makes them think of the memories that they’ve made along the way on trips like that. Everyone has their own version of that cabin.”

Co-produced by Smith alongside Florida Georgia Line’s Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley, and written by Smith, Kelley, Josh Miller and David Garcia, “Cabin In The Woods” is the latest introduction to Smith’s new musical chapter and has continued to garner praise since its release, with Sounds Like Nashville hailing, “the rustic track transports listeners far away from the modern rat race.” Continuing to channel his Virginia roots, the track follows “Colder Than You” – a “solidly country” (MusicRow), “deliberately stripped down” (Rolling Stone) tune that highlights Smith’s “raw tone” (Billboard) and serves as a “slow grooving, tear-in-your-beer waltz for the modern era” (Sounds Like Nashville).

ABOUT CANAAN SMITH
Canaan Smith is back with fresh tracks “Colder Than You”- a backcountry-infused, twangy twist on heartbreak – or lack thereof, and latest release, “Cabin In The Woods.” Continuing to build on his signature sound, which he describes as “Canaan Country,” these songs preview a new chapter in Smith’s musical career, with more new music expected to release in the coming months. A burgeoning Tree Vibez Music songwriter, the Virginia native’s credit is on hits by Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line, Cole Swindell, Mason Ramsey and more, which paved the way for his signing to Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard of Florida Georgia Line’s record label, Round Here Records. Debuting with a fresh set of songs shortly after announcing his partnership with RHR – “Beer Drinkin’ Weather,” “Country Boy Things”, “Life Ain’t Fair,” and “Pour Decisions” – the releases follow Smith’s 2014 PLATINUM-certified #1 “Love You Like That” and fan-favorite “Hole In A Bottle.” A featured performer on FGL’s 2019 CAN’T SAY I AIN’T COUNTRY TOUR, Smith embarked on his headlining POUR DECISIONS TOUR last year.
