Kip Moore Discusses his New Album 'Damn Love'

Kip Moore is no stranger to the music business. The singer has been a seasoned pro in country music for many years but is always eager to create something new. He thrives off of his passion for the craft, as well as his love for the fans. His new album Damn Love speaks to that drive. Moore discussed this new project, touring overseas, and how he sees his own career.

Many know of Moore from past songs "Something 'Bout A Truck," "Hey Pretty Girl," and "Beer Money." He was riding high from radio singles and touring, always feeling busy. The pandemic that hit in 2020 was one of the first periods of his career where he felt the room to breathe. “I think it was the most creative I’ve ever been, because I’ve always internally craved solitude, and I was in it every day,” Moore explains. He continues, “That part was soul-filling for me.”

Moore co-produced this fifth studio album and co-wrote every song except for one. The 13 tracks represent where he is at creatively. “There’s a reason love and relationships have been written about so much – and why they continue to get written about,” Moore says. “Because at the core of us, that’s what we desire the most. I still crave that companionship down deep in my DNA, and that’s where Damn Love comes from. The minute that fire for music ever

subsides, that’s when I’ll walk away. But right now, it’s burning as hot as ever.”

When asked what his personal favorite off of the project is, it proved to be a tough decision. "You know it changes by the day. It seems to depend on what kind of mood I'm in. If I had to say, I'd say 'Another Night In Knoxville,'" he shares. He explained how that song, and much of the album, was written very differently from the previous releases. "Usually songs will come to me in fragments. I'll pull lyrics here and there and pick up a guitar and try out different riffs. I'll start humming around and fragmented lyrics will fall out. But this time, the songs I was writing came out in one complete canvas."

"Mickey's Bar" is a tune that came up quite a bit throughout the interview. Moore revealed that the song came to him when he was alone in his kitchen one night at two a.m. The lyrics feel like true storytelling, and they came from a place of Moore wanting to create different characters.

Touring is a way for musicians to play live for their fans, and Moore enjoys doing that to the fullest. "Now we're doing arenas overseas in Australia and in the U.K. South Africa was such an unusual thing that came about; in 2021 we saw the streaming numbers going crazy over there. Fast forward to the end of last year, and my manager said he thinks he can put me in arenas in Cape Town," Moore exclaims. The singer was pleasantly surprised when those arenas filled up quickly. Much like his shows, fans can soon experience more of what this singer has to offer. His album, Damn Love, arrives Friday, April 28th.
