The video - directed by Duncan Winecoff- finds Raury exploring and nurturing newly-found relationships as he treks the states and shows love for those that bring him in during the nomadic sojourn. And now, less than 24-hours following the announcement, he’s let loose a whimsical video for the cut that should feed your wanderlust and perhaps even rekindle your faith in humanity. I like it.Yesterday, Raury announced that he’d be releasing his major label debut All We Need on October 16th with the release of the album’s dreamy lead-off single “Friends” featuring Rage Against The Machine‘s guitar giant, Tom Morello. This is a real cool experience, especially with this station it’s real cool. Raury Tullis: It’s an honor to be here, and I’m glad I got to get on. Rickey Bevington: Raury, thanks for joining me and best of luck to you. The most scary thing and the most shocking thing right now is the fact that tomorrow (SEPTEMBER 27, 2014) I literally do play for 20,000 people opening for Outkast. It’s crazy going from this transition from a kid in high school like literally seven months ago to who I am now – someone who’s performed in front of thousands of people. Raury Tullis: I’m just going to remain about the music. What is your strategy for keeping your feet on the ground? Rickey Bevington: You are at the beginning of a very promising career that could take you to the moon. I had the Internet, so I could listen to everything. I wasn’t just trapped in my local station just listening to what my radio was playing. A lot of people because they don’t know what to call it will label it alternative, and music and genres in music are becoming less relevant I feel like because we grew up listening to everything. If I were to give it a genre, I would call it world music and nothing else. Rickey Bevington: What adjectives would you use to describe your music right now? I think the fact that I taught myself in so many aspects is why so many things are unique. You’re going to take blues guitar lessons, and then we can go to class, and then we can go to rock or anything like that.’ I learned from drawing from everywhere. So, I wasn’t trained into like, ‘This is blues guitar. I didn’t know what I was doing at all, and I didn’t have any type of training. I had been playing around with it for a year straight untuned. Raury Tullis: For starters, I picked up a guitar when I was like 11. Rickey Bevington: How do you think being self-taught influences your music since you don’t come from a traditional perspective? Keep going because they will understand soon.’ No matter how many bad shows I had or no matter how many people told me they didn’t like the song, I always had that voice in the back of my head that was just telling me, ‘You’re the best. Like why the song was written is that I was in a world where I made up my mind that all I wanted to do was chase my dreams. Raury Tullis (singer/songwriter): Well, pretty much God’s Whisper is like your conscious, the voice in your mind, your spirit, your soul, whatever you want to call it.

Rickey Bevington (host, GPB’s “All Things Considered”): What is (your song) God’s Whisper? Known simply as Raury, he grew up in Stone Mountain outside of Atlanta, and taught himself music by watching videos online. Leading a next generation of southern musicians is Raury Tullis, who opens for Outkast this weekend.
