Kenny Chesney Releases 'Wild Child' Video
. (Radio.com) Kenny Chesney is paying tribute to all the free spirited women in his new music video for "Wild Child." The nearly four-minute clip follows Chesney's friend, songwriter Gretchen Rhodes, in Hawaii as she explores the land. Set in Hawaii, we see Rhodes skateboarding down a hill, surfing at the beach and wandering throughout a field in Hawaii with wild horses. The video was premiered via USA Today. '[Director] Shaun [Silva] really captured everything that makes Robin-and every woman just like her-and I know people get their music in so many different places," Chesney said in a press release. 'I wanted to give the clip several opportunities to be seen beyond the traditional country outlets, because I think no matter what kind of music you love, this woman is someone everyone should celebrate. "It is a song about any woman so hungry to engage life, she spends her days trying to taste it all�. You don't have to be a gypsy to be a free spirit, but just someone so in love with life, you will never get enough. To see a woman like that is a pretty amazing thing." In an interview last year with Radio.com, Chesney expanded on how "Wild Child" is different than the other songs on country radio about women. 'In the last several years, a lot of the songs about women have been written in kind of an objectifying way," he told Radio.com. 'If you didn't wear cut-off jeans or a bikini top, or sit on a tailgate and drink, then you really weren't worthy, you didn't really add up. But 'Wild Child' isn't about that. 'Wild Child' is telling some girl out there that's got dreams, that's a free spirit, who's smart and interesting, that she has a chance, that she is worthy." Read more and watch the video here.
