(Nashville, Tenn. – Nov. 8, 2012) BGC Records/GMV Nashville artist Bobby Cyrus is releasing his debut single, “Milkman’s Eyes,” to Country radio on Monday, Nov. 12.
The up-tempo track is a cleverly written, tongue-in-cheek duet recorded with Cyrus’ cousin Billy Ray, who co-wrote the song and also appears in the music video. The two cousins had performed the song a handful of times together over the years before Bobby chose to release it as the debut single from his upcoming album, Homeplace.
“Bobby is a great vocalist,” says Billy Ray. “He’s got a great voice. I felt honored that he chose to cut ‘Milkman’s Eyes.’ I’m so proud of Bobby and the sound he’s got going. It’s got a family blend to it.”
The “Milkman’s Eyes” music video was directed by award-winning filmmaker John Lloyd Miller. The clip world premiered Oct. 25 on Great American Country’s “Daily Countdown” program and airs again this Friday, Nov. 9, at 4:30 ET on GAC’s “Out of the Box” segment. The light-hearted video includes appearances from both Cyrus cousins and demonstrates the fun-loving chemistry the two singers share between them.
“Billy Ray worked really hard and took time out of his extremely busy life to be a part of this single and video,” says Bobby Cyrus, who wrote seven of the 12 tracks on Homeplace. “Words could never express how much his efforts mean to me.”
“Milkman’s Eyes” is currently available on iTunes, as well as GMVNashville.com and most other major digital music retailers. Cyrus’ debut album, Homeplace, is set for release before the end of the year. For more information, visit www.BobbyCyrusOfficial.com.
