Dierks Bentley continues the narrative of his new album BLACK with the release of the second single “Different For Girls” featuring Elle King. “There is a real honesty in these lyrics, and I haven’t heard a song written this way before. The differences in how guys and girls deal with a broken heart is really interesting material to me,” shared Bentley. “Having two daughters certainly has changed the way I see the world and what they have ahead. What I love about Elle being on this record, besides her uniquely powerful but vulnerable voice, is that she’s a total badass. Having her perspective really helps tell the complete story.” Bentley will also open a pop-up store on the corner of 4th and Broadway featuring his new album and exclusive merchandise.
