Riley Smith Premieres New Music Video for “Hard To Kiss”
American actor and singer-songwriter Riley Smith dropped a new music video for “Hard To Kiss” on Valentine’s Day.
The video features fan-submitted photos of couples. He received over 700 photos from all over the world.
The song follows up “Radio” which was released back in January, and written by Riley Smith, Tripp Weir and Stone Aielli.
He explained, "A lot of them came with the story behind their love. It was so emotional to see first hand. And I think in this time in our society really still proves that love is still all-around us. All walks of life, ages, races and sexes."
Riley Smith is known for roles on "24", "Nashville", "Life Sentence" and "True Blood".- He wrote about the video on YouTube channel, “After the song was written we came up with the idea of getting the public involved. I sent a mass message out on social media for people to send me pictures of them in love. Whatever that meant to them. I received over 700 photos from all over the world. All ages and walks of life. It was not only an amazing response but a very emotional one. A lot of the picture submissions came with a story.
For the video, I put them into a collage and projected them behind the band while we played. It's a very sentimental video that reiterates that love still conquers all.” - source : ROCK 'N' LOAD
