New Single and Video
‘’Talk To Time''
With over 140 million catalog streams to date, country superstar Tim Hicks continues to lead the way with his sure-footed everyman approach – expanding the songwriting and style that has helped define today’s country music. In saying this, Hicks had his label debut ten years ago with the release of his album Throw Down. He is now reflecting on this past decade with the release of “Talk To Time” to Canadian country radio and the unveiling of the official video, which premiered exclusively across IHeartRadio / Pure Country platforms on February 21. “Talk to Time” is the title track of his fifth studio album, released last September. Travis Didluck directed the beautifully nostalgic music video. The new release comes just in time to celebrate his Top 10 single "Stompin' Ground" receiving Platinum status in Canada.
"Did you ever wish you could slow down time? I think about it often. As a father of two, and a musician 10 years into his career, this song means a lot to me, and really hits home,” Hicks shares. "The video turned out awesome too! We shot it on a REALLY cold and windy day underneath the Burlington Skyway. Somehow, through the magic of filmmaking, you can’t even tell I was frozen to the bone! ”
The release of "Talk To Time" follows back-to-back Top 10 singles on radio, and the announcement of summer festival dates across the country including Boots & Hearts, Dauphin's Country Fest, Country on the Bay, and Country Rocks the Farm. Hicks headlined the half-time show at the Toronto Rock's Country Night on March 4.
Tim Hicks continues to lead the way with his sure-footed everyman approach - expanding the songwriting and style that has helped define today’s country music. Delivering track after track with unparalleled quality and consistency, Hicks’ ascent as an elite chart-topping act since making his country-label debut in 2013 is undeniable. His vast catalogue of highly praised releases including Throw Down, 5:01, 5:01+, Shake These Walls, New Tattoo, Wreck This, and Campfire Troubadour has earned the five-time JUNO Award nominee and CCMA Award winner, a double Platinum-selling single, four Platinum selling singles, nine Gold singles, one Gold album and eighteen Top 10 radio hits (including the #1 singles “No Truck Song” and “What A Song Should Do”), in addition to multiple sold-out headlining dates and back-to-back national tours.
‘’Tim Hicks's new single “Talk to Time” is a fitting one for this stage in his career,'' says Kim Cyr, Editor in Chief for NOW and THEN Magazine, radio host, and host of the International Music's Journey Show. ‘’It’s a sentimental tune about all those important things in our lives that sometimes we’re just too busy to appreciate as they’re happening.''
Hicks opens up by reflecting on his dreams starting out on this journey in music and about what success means to him today!
The past 10 years have gone by like a whirlwind for this country star with five hit albums, five Juno nominations, four platinum-selling singles, 18 top-10 radio hits — all this and a growing family.
“You blink and 10 years go by just like that,” says Hicks.''
‘’This album is a home run for Hicks,'' says Kim Cyr. ‘’It was definitely worth the wait and it shows with the fan's response and country radio. Tim Hicks is undeniably a superstar and one of the best entertainers performing on the live stage today. I can't wait to see what Hicks has in store for us next with more new music.''
