SINGLE REVIEW: "LET ME SEE YA GIRL" - COLE SWINDELL

SINGLE: "Let Me See Ya Girl"

Cole first broke out into the spotlight in 2013 when he independently released his debut single “Chillin It” which helped him land his first major record deal with Warner Bros. Nashville Records.  Cole has been quite busy since then, writing quite a few songs for some of country music’s biggest stars such as Craig Campbell, Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett and Florida Georgia Line. He has also released four more singles including 'Hope You Get Lonely Tonight,” “Ain’t Worth The Whiskey” and his newest single “Let Me See Ya Girl.”

“Let Me See Ya Girl” is a mid-tempo song off of his debut album that will without a doubt be stuck in your head for days. The first time I ever heard this song I began praying for it to become a single for the simple fact that it was just that good.  The song starts out at some sort of crowded club where a hot girl has “every guy spinning around spilling their beer” from staring at her. He then goes on to say how he wants to see her shine away from the club where he can get to know her without anyone else around. It won’t be long until this song makes its way not only to the top of the charts but onto everyone’s weekend party playlist.

PRESS RELEASE



NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Jan. 28, 2015) –– From Jan. 23-27, CID Presents, held its inaugural Luke Bryan’s Crash My Playa in Riviera Maya, Mexico, with memorable performances by country superstars Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, Cole Swindell, Dustin Lynch, Eric Paslay, Chris Stapleton, Kelleigh Bannen, and DJ Rock. The sold out, 4-night all-inclusive tropical getaway and concert experience was designed and produced by CID Presents as the ultimate fan experience for guests, swapping out the typical arena-sized performance for a more intimate, small-scale setting. Guests were treated to nightly beachfront concerts at The Barecló, accommodations at top resorts, airport transportation, 24-hour concierge, optional daily activities and off-site adventures and performances by local musicians, fire dancers and mariachi bands.

The Crash My Playa musical vacation delivered a special setting for an unforgettable experience, including unannounced pop-up artist performances, starting with Dustin Lynch’s surprise airport shuttle bus performance, various poolside sets and Eric Paslay’s drop-in on the Cabela’s Deep Sea Fishing Adventure. During the main stage beachfront performances, guests enjoyed unique collaborations when Cole Swindell joined Florida Georgia Line on Sunday night, and during Luke Bryan’s set when he was was joined by Florida Georgia Line, Cole Swindell and Chris Stapleton during the Crash My Playa finale on Monday night.

For some, the weekend was even more special – two proposals, four honeymoons, and numerous birthdays and anniversaries were celebrated with extra care from the CID Presents guest services team, including beachfront private dining, cakes, champagne and more.

The unprecedented event marked the first-ever original, self-produced festival for the production arm of CID Entertainment, the premier music travel and fan-focused experiential agency. Having developed and implemented VIP and travel packages for Luke Bryan’s tours for years CID was the perfect partner for Crash My Playa, designing a country music festival where fans could see their favorite artists on stage and enjoy the sun, beach, food and adventures with their friends.

Located in the heart of eastern North Carolina, the community of Farmville has proudly hosted the Farmville Dogwood Festival for the past 25 years. The festival is held each April on the town commons. The manicured lawn of the commons is dotted with stately oaks, azaleas, dogwoods and a burst of color from annuals and perennials. Visitors make an annual pilgrimage to Farmville to reunite with family and friends.

The Dogwood Festival has been honored as a legacy festival by the Library of Congress. The festival proudly reaches across all demographics to provide a weekend of entertainment that appeals to all patrons. Most of the festival guests live in a 50 mile radius of Farmville. Festival attendance has been estimated in some years at over 30,000.

The center of the commons features the arts and crafts pavilion. It is the focal point of the festival, displaying the artistic talents and workmanship of the artisans of eastern North Carolina. These wares are available for sale to the public. The festival committee carefully selects artisans that compliment each other and provide a diverse array of craftsmanship. Examples of past artisan wares have included woodworking, stained glass, pottery, jewelry, framed artwork, photography, soaps and many other handcrafted treasures.

Surrounding the pavilion is a number of venues that accent the town commons. Nearby is the gazebo which displays a constant stream of local musical talent. The Kids Cool Fest tent provides the youth an opportunity to create crafts and to have fun, all free of charge. Lining the street are food vendors providing a potpourri of delicacies. Behind the town hall are rides provided by Michaels Amusements that appeal to all ages. The ball field is where our headline musical acts perform at night for festival patrons.
