Riley Green reunited with Ella Langley after the duo’s flirty duet, “you look like you love me.” This time, the two Alabama-born singer-songwriters tell the story of two exes who have drifted apart and admit they still consider the possibility of reigniting their former flame.
“Don’t Mind If I Do” serves as the title track of Green’s third full-length studio album. He confirmed the 18-track record is due on his birthday, October 18, in a surprise announcement on stage at his newly-opened bar in the Midtown neighborhood of Nashville, Tennessee. Green performed at the Riley Green’s Duck Blind bar grand opening earlier this week, and followed up with the announcement on his social media pages. The “There Was This Girl” artist teamed up with Nashville entrepreneur Steve Ford to open the new bar in the former location of Winners Bar & Grill, at 1913 Division St. Green’s bar is connected to Loser’s.
“I’ve spent many nights at Losers, and Steve, the late Erv Woolsey and team are like family to me,” Green said, according to his record label. “Riley Green’s Duck Blind will be a fun place for fans to come enjoy a game on the big screens, have a beer and listen to some good Country Music.
“We couldn’t bring everyone out here to celebrate and not share more exciting news with you,” Green said during his performance from the stage. “My brand-new album Don’t Mind If I Do will be out October 18. It feels fitting that it’s coming out on my birthday because this project feels very true to who I am, where I come from and what I’ve learned along the way. I can’t wait for y’all to hear it!”
So far, Green has released “Jesus Saves,” “Way Out Here,” “Rather Be,” “Good Morning From Mexico,” “Damn Good Day To Leave” and “Worst Way,” in addition to the new duet with Langley.
