Sugarland Get Center Stage With This Week's New Music Video

Posted: December 13th, 2008 at 8:55 am  |  By: Chet Flippo  

Artist: Sugarland
Video: "Love"
Director: Shaun Silva

"Love" from Sugarland is their newest music video and may well prove to be their most popular. It was shot live, with very dramatic lighting and spectacular light effects. And the song ain't too shabby, either. It gives duo member Kristian Bush a chance to work out his pipes, as well.

Comments: "Wow!" "Way cool." "Bad-ass!" "I can't catch my breath." "Wonder where this was shot. I don't recognize it." "Don't know either, but I like the look."

Consensus: Sugarland's "Love" is a unanimous Hot Shot. It goes into rotation on Dec. 15.

    I think this was filmed at Rupp Arena in Lexington, KY. If it was then I WAS THERE!:)

    Sugarland just keeps scoring big hits!! They have been such a breath of fresh air for Country Music! I wish them all the best. I would love to see them live some day!

    “unanimous Hot Shot” ohhh what a risky move, please don’t actually try and be influential in country music, just go with what’s “popular” at the moment. thank you.

    but good video though.

    Hi Kevin, please don’t turn this into another post about me. You seem to do that quite a bit. I commented on the Sugarland song and video. As I recall you are the one who also says “music is music”, and corporate greed in the music business is fine with you. So much for your credibility, but thanks for your concern.

    First off I need to say Redmaz, you never have anything nice to say about Sugarland or their music, so please keep quiet.

    Second- I LOVE the video! AT first, I was hoping for another fast song, but when I saw it on the CMA’s, I was fine with it. I love how J&K used the Lexington footage, because it looked like an awesome show and it shows what the DVD will be like. I smell another #1 for the duo! Way to go you two!

    I see Kevin’s post was deleted so I didn’t catch it, but you’re right Rachel, a certain someone NEVER has anything nice to say about ANY pop country act so don’t hold your breath waiting for one. I have loved Sugarland since they came out and think they only get better (and sweeter).

    It’s not a country song, in my opinion, but so what? That line was blurred years ago. Very cool video. Don’t know if the song goes #1, but the video does for sure. Lots of energy, great pacing. Good stuff.

    BREATHTAKING! It’s such a powerful video, and their best one yet, IMO. I never thought they were going to beat the video for ‘Stay’ in my eyes, but ‘Love’ proved me wrong! The video captures the essence of their live performance of this song very well. This video is just EPIC :D

    It was shot in Lexington, KY and this is an amazing song! I am hoping it will be the next stay!!

    Here’s a question for those who have seen Sugarland in concert……..Does Kristian Bush get to sing very much? Just curious…

  • Rachel says:

    Posted: December 14th, 2008 at 2:02 pm  

    Jim- Yes, Kristian does do a lot of singing in concert. I’m not sure how much, but it is a lot. He’s got parts on “Already Gone” and “Love”. And I might add that he is quite good at it.

  • Jim C. says:

    Thanks Rachel! I live in Maine so I will probably have to travel to Boston to see them, but it’s on my list of things to do in 2009!

    This song is no where close to being as good as Stay.

  • Rachel says:

    Posted: December 15th, 2008 at 7:01 am  

    Vicki, have you ever seen Sugarland live? Kris has an awesome voice and does more singing than people think.
