Kip Moore has partnered with Virgin Music Group for the next phase of his career. He will release his track entitled “Live Here to Work” under the new deal on Sept. 20. The song, which reunites him with co-producer Jaren Johnston, will serve as his first new release in almost two years.

“I’m a firm believer that this life is what you make it and is enhanced by the people you surround yourself with,” shares Moore. “I see this next chapter of my career as an opportunity to keep building this thing brick by brick. I was making this record independently when I began having the initial conversations with Virgin and other record labels. It was ultimately the tangible passion from Virgin Music Group that made me want to team up and see where we could take this next chapter.

“There is a trust and a freedom in what I do and I can feel that from this team,” he adds.

“I have been a fan of Kip’s for years now,” shares Jacqueline Saturn, President, Virgin Music Group North America, and EVP of Global Artist Relations. “His music’s universal themes transcend genre and appeal to a huge variety of music fans. Along with his music, his commitment to relentless touring has helped him build a powerful global fanbase. We know this next phase of his career is going to be amazing.”

Moore has blazed his own trail since his debut in 2012, building a repertoire of five critically-acclaimed albums and penning over a dozen chart-topping singles along the way. He has garnered over a billion streams and 2.5 million monthly listeners with multi-Platinum tracks like “Something’ ‘Bout a Truck,” “Hey Pretty Girl,” “Beer Money” and “More Girls Like You.”

Moore is in the midst of his “Nomad World Tour,” which resumes in arenas and stadiums later this month with a 14-show run in Australia, includes a return to South Africa where he performed to crowds of over 40,000 fans last year and culminates with a string of dates in the U.S. this fall.
