Seven-times Grammy winners Lady Antebellum will release ‘Golden’ in May.
“This album feels to me like one of those that from start to finish could be a good road-trip record and that’s what we wanted,” said Lady A’s Charles Kelley. “It’s one of the reasons why the term ‘golden’ was cool. I think about road trips and driving down the road with those little streaks of sunshine popping through the trees, especially at sunset. ‘Golden’…it just gives you this warm, easy feeling.”
“Writing and recording this record really took us back to when we first met each other,” added Hillary Scott. “When I first met the boys, we spent a lot of time around the piano at the house they lived in at the time. We didn’t really know each other at all, but there was still some magic and then the harmonies – that’s how it all started – that blend of our voices and that blend of our songwriting craft. So, it’s exciting that even on our fourth record, we can still find that.”
Lady Antebullum have sold over 200,000 albums in Australia and over 11 million worldwide. In 2012, they played their first headline dates around Australia after previously touring the country as guests of Keith Urban.
The first single ‘Downtown’ is available now. The album ‘Golden’ will be released on May 10.
