VIDEO ALERT: “HURRY” FOR SHY CARTER

Warner Music Nashville multi-talent Shy Carter is turning up the heat with his sweet-and-sexy music video for “Hurry” – from his EP ‘The Rest Of Us’ – premiering exclusively with PEOPLE this morning (4/15). Read Carter's feature here.

“I love this ‘Hurry’ video! It's smooth and sexy, and puts the perfect visual to a song that I already love so much,” Carter shares with PEOPLE.

Dripping with his signature Country-Soul swagger, the romantic clip directed by Clément Oberto captures the passion of the Carter, Bryan Simpson, and Tommy Cecil-penned scorcher. “I’m a patient man usually / But it’s something that you just do to me,” he admits in the need-you-now ballad. Starring in the adjoining music video alongside artist Anjulie, the sultry onscreen pair set fire to the intimate lyrics while portraying a couple yearning to reunite. Carter further tells PEOPLE, “‘Hurry’ is all about getting back to your lover's embrace. You've gotten a taste and you can't wait until you see them again! Hurry! Come on back and put your head on my heartbeat, baby. I don't want to live without you!”

As one of the most formidable rising talents, Carter continues to break boundaries in the genre. Just spotlighted in the brand-new Amazon Music Original feature-length documentary, For Love & Country, the 2021 Amazon Music Artist to Watch also released “Hard” as an Amazon Original track that’s available on the “For Love & Country” official playlist on Amazon Music. Directed by Joshua Kissi and out now in the Amazon Music app and on Prime Video, For Love & Country examines Country music through the personal stories of a new generation of Black artists claiming space in Nashville — and helping to transform the genre in the process.

A dynamic entertainer, Carter recently took the stage at Tortuga Music Festival 2022 (4/9) in Fort Lauderdale, FL, and was just announced as a CMA Fest (6/9-12) performer on the Dr Pepper Amp Stage at Ascend Park in Nashville, TN, with more appearances coming up including Stagecoach Music Festival 2022 (4/30) in Indio, CA, and Headwaters Country Jam 2022 (8/20) in Three Forks, MT.
