Kenny Chesney: Country Music Should Be More Than Babes In Bikinis

Kenny Chesney is not a fan of all these so-legs-and-bikini-tops songs on country radio, either.

"In recent years, many of the songs on women have been written in a kind of form of objectification," he says in a new interview with radio.com. "If you do not wear jeans or a bikini cut, or sit in a back door and drink, then you really were not worthy, that does not really add up."


In response, the country superstar is including a letter of sincere and respectful to women love in a song called "Wild Child" on his latest album, The Big Revival, which falls on September 23.


"'Wild Child' is telling some girl out there that have dreams, that's a free spirit who is intelligent and interesting, you have a chance," he says. "That she is worthy."

Chesney, 46, says he wanted to honor all women who do not fit that stereotype and cut-offs that are exactly bikini babe women find most attractive.

"All women who have been in my life - in my family or persecuted me, fell in love and out of love for my island friends, my hippie friends in New England - they all had this idea of" wild child "in them and I thought of all of them when I was writing the song. "

He continues: "I think it's an important song because it is saying that there have to be one thing that has been sung over and over again recently and I'm proud of that, we wrote a song that rises to a woman like that. way. "

Chesney says the court is part of the theme of the new album, a more spiritual immersion is a result of his own maturation as an artist and as a person.

"This album is not a game," he says. "It's about living with passion, confidence, entering a room full of people smiling and serious. Having the courage to listen to that voice in your head and follow it, perhaps for the first time in his life. This is taking your life and life to the fullest. "
