| “Setting trends and living in jukeboxes for a decade as he does a delicate dance between modernity and traditionality” (Country Central), “California king” Jon Pardi is gearing up to release his fifth studio album. Sharing more new music from HONKYTONK HOLLYWOOD set for release on April 11th, Pardi today unveils “Love The Lights Out,” a flirtatious track that perfectly captures the swirling ecstasy of desire. Co-written by Pardi, Jimi Bell, and Matt Dragstrem, the track melts into a steamy soul rocker with slide guitar hooks and a throbbing pulse – a soundtrack for love that takes its time. Fans can listen to “Love The Lights Out” HERE and watch a performance video HERE. “Sometimes, you can’t get your boots off fast enough,” notes Pardi. “But, this isn’t about one of those nights. This one is for appreciating when you’ve got something good and can take your time.” Pardi enlisted renowned producer Jay Joyce (Eric Church, Brothers Osborne, Lainey Wilson) where he spent three dedicated weeks immersed in the studio, crafting each track from the ground up with his touring band handling the majority of the recording. “Love The Lights Out” follows the release from high acclaim of the lead single “Friday Night Heartbreaker,” which American Songwriter hailed for “kicking down the door” to Pardi’s next musical chapter. The track pulses with high-octane energy, fusing hard rock influences with Pardi’s signature twang, creating a bold and electrifying introduction to the 17-track album. Meanwhile, the title track “Honkytonk Hollywood” sits at the heart of the record, lush and gritty, perfectly capturing the essence of Pardi’s dual world. The song blends Southern rock swagger with a touch of neon-lit nostalgia, embodying the complexities of his life and mindset—a flawless fusion of down-home grit and Hollywood shine.
