Hip-hop, pop, soul artist OUTASIGHT has exclusively premiered a new music video for his latest single “I’ll Drink To That” today (2/14) on Billboard.com. The video–an ode to his beloved New York City–poignantly shines a light on the hardworking men and women of NYC, the people who strive each day to make ends meet and thrive despite difficult times. It’s a song of perseverance and faith and resonates with everyone on some level. Watch the video now here: http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/1539201/outasight-ill-drink-to-that-exclusive-video-premiere. “I’ll Drink To That” is the latest single off OUTASIGHT’s debut full-length album Nights Like These (Warner Bros. Records).

“The shots and wardrobe are gritty, representing the working man and woman who make this city great,” OUTASIGHT (real name Richard Andrew) tells Billboard.com. “New York is an amazingly diverse and resilient place, so we wanted to represent that as I make my return after traveling far and wide working towards my dream. They say home is where is the heart is, so no matter how far I’ve gone, there’s only one place I go back to. That’s all I’m trying to do, find home and find peace.”

The new video release also coincides with the kick-off of OUTASIGHT’s national co-headlining tour with label mate The Ready Set. The coast-to-coast trek begins tonight (2/14) at the Gramercy Theatre in New York and will include stops in Boston, Chicago, Denver and Seattle before landing in Los Angeles on Friday, March 8 at The Roxy Theatre. The tour will also hit Scottsdale, Houston and Nashville before wrapping up March 22 in Fort Wayne, IN. OUTASIGHT will also perform a pair of college shows April 12 and 24 before embarking on the Vans Warped Tour all summer (6/15-8/4).

To celebrate their tour, OUTASIGHT and The Ready Set will chat with fans live from backstage at the Gramercy Theatre this afternoon at 1pm PST/4pm EST as part of a Buzznet sponsored Google + Hangout.

“I’ll Drink To That” marks the third single off the Yonkers, NY-native’s debut album Nights Like These, released November 2012. The album features his platinum hit single “Tonight Is The Night,” which OUTASIGHT has performed on “The X Factor,” “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon,” “90210” and during half-time of the NHL All-Star Game alongside Drake. The don’t-worry-let’s-party anthem became the #1 most-added song on Top 40 radio in its first week and has been featured in national ad campaigns for Pepsi, Honda and Pizza Hut. The official music video for “Tonight Is The Night” has been viewed over 9 million times on YouTube; watch it here: http://youtu.be/FxnFJG6CW20.

Nights Like These also includes the single “Now or Never” (http://youtu.be/IIKaI_-fRfA) where OUTASIGHT declares, “It’s now or never, I’m about to get mine”–and he couldn’t be more right. The 10-track LP has received critical praise with Rolling Stone raving, “Outasight knows a good time, and on his fun-loving debut record Nights Like These, the Yonkers, New York, native has a blast mixing pop, rock and rap into a potent cocktail.” (11/20/12)

OUTASIGHT has toured with the likes of Cobra Starship, 3OH!3, The Dirty Heads, T-Pain and Gym Class Heroes and his performance at 2012’s Lollapalooza led Billboard to note, “The BMI stage has been known for finding hitmakers early; like pre-‘Just Dance’ Lady Gaga in 2007 and Ke$ha in 2009. With electro-pop tracks like ‘Tonight Is the Night’ and ‘Now or Never,’ (the latter being his best live track of the set), it may not be long before BMI can brag about Outasight playing their stage first.” (8/6/12)
