Joe & Martina | Give Me Back the 90's

The flourishing married duo Joe & Martina return to country radio with the release of their nostalgic new single, “Give Me Back the 90’s,” appropriately featuring iconic singer-songwriter John Berry (“Your Love Amazes Me,” “Standing on the Edge of Goodbye,” “Kiss Me in the Car”).

Filmed almost entirely at The Nashville Palace, the music video was directed and produced by Just Produce Hy Def (Justin Hoskins and Steven Webster), who sculpted Joe & Martina’s reenactment of classic 90’s Country music videos peppered in between performance shots and John Berry’s climatic entrance. While clad in Mo Betta shirts (famously worn by Garth Brooks), the duo captures the essence of classic scenes with their own touch beginning with Alan Jackson’s “Chattahoochee,” Jo Dee Messina’s “Bye Bye,” and a tip of the hat to George Strait’s Pure Country film trilogy.


With a platinum hit under his belt as a co-writer on Luke Combs’ “Don’t Tempt Me,” Joe joined forces with frequent collaborators singer-songwriter Dustin Huff and producer Johnny Garcia (Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood) to pen “Give Me Back the 90’s,” before adding Martina’s warm harmonies in their home recording studio. The song came together almost effortlessly as the lyrics reminisce about life before the digital age, along with the strategic name placement of 90’s country artists.


"From the very outset I could tell Joe & Martina had something special to offer Country music,” said Berry. “In writing their own songs, they are able to convey their unique style and personalities in a way that keeps the music true to who they are. I was absolutely taken back that they had included ME as a 90's artist that had influenced them to pursue their dreams. It is quite humbling and I thank Joe & Martina for the privilege of singing on what I know is a hit"

Having recently graced the cover of Horse & Agriculture Magazine for their latest release,"I’ve Been Around,” independent artists Joe & Martina have embraced their creative freedom by remaining authentic to their roots, releasing undeniably “country” material with songs such as “Wild One” and “Middle of Nowhere USA." “Give Me Back the 90’s” is the first single to be distributed to radio since the pair charted at No.51 on the Billboard Indicator chart with “You’ve Got That Somethin’” in 2017, the song that originally introduced Joe & Martina to their fans as Terra Bella.
