Columbia Records’ all-vocal group Home Free sets a chilling tone with the music video release for their harmony-driven cover of Zac Brown Band’s “Colder Weather” yesterday (11/15) on their YouTube channel. First performed when the vocal sensation was competing on NBC’s The Sing-Off, the stone-cold track is now featured on their newly expanded Christmas album, FULL OF (EVEN MORE) CHEER.
“We have always been a fan of Zac Brown Band and this song,” shares Rob Lundquist. “I loved the lyrics the minute I heard the original version and it allowed us to get really creative with the harmonies and craft a new blend with our voices. Ever since we performed it on The Sing-Off, we wanted to add it to an album and couldn’t think of a more fitting time!”
Directed by Fifgen Films’ Reilly Zamber, McKenzie Zamber and Jimmy Bates, the video was filmed while Home Free was in Minnesota for tour rehearsals. The locations: a living room fireplace, vast field and coffee shop, echo the emotional and despondent lyrics. Watch the video here.
“Colder Weather” is undoubtedly poised to follow in the success of their breathtaking “How Great Thou Art” video that is quickly going viral with nearly 5 million views. Becoming well known for their online fan engagement and impressive numbers, Home Free recently crossed the 100 million-milestone mark for YouTube views. Adding to the excitement, the all-vocal band kicked off their wildly successful A COUNTRY CHRISTMAS Tour this past week with a sold-out show in Green Bay, WI.
