NASHVILLE, Tenn. (January 11, 2021) – Just days in advance of his debut EP pre-order, emerging Country crooner Jake Hoot has announced the lead-off single from his forthcoming EP will feature international superstar Kelly Clarkson. The powerful duet entitled “I Would’ve Loved You” features Hoot and Clarkson’s distinct vocals throughout the emotional ballad. The entire Love Out Of Time EP is available for pre-order on January 14th with the official release slated for January 27th.
Written by Hoot, Dean Sams (Lonestar) and Jamie Floyd, Hoot knew Clarkson would be the perfect duo partner as soon as he wrote “I Would’ve Loved You.” Hoot explains, “I Would’ve Loved You is a song about how the choices we make and the consequences that follow. It is a story about someone who has so much love to give, but due to the other person’s decisions, that love turns into a hate that lasts forever. I am so honored to have written this song with Jamie Floyd and Dean Sams, who are both incredible writers. I am beyond thankful to Kelly Clarkson for believing in me and recording this song with me! Can’t wait for y’all to hear it!“ Clarkson and Hoot also filmed a music video for the track that will be released in early February.
Produced by hit songwriter/producer Danny Myrick (Jason Aldean, Tim McGraw, Maddie & Tae), Hoot’s debut project features four original songs as well as Hoot’s recently released cover of “La Bamba.” Hoot collaborated with an all-star lineup of musicians and songwriters for Love Out Of Time including Dean Sams (Lonestar), Myrick, Jenne Fleenor (CMA Award-winning musician), Dave Pahanish (Keith Urban, Tim McGraw, Toby Keith), Jamie Floyd (Ingrid Andress, Lucie Silvas, Ashley Monroe) and more.
