Lady Antebellum Dives Deep Into Next Studio Album Ocean- Available Nov. 15

Artist: Lady Antebellum

Album: Ocean

Label: BMLG

Release date: 11/15/19

Lady Antebellum's Dave Haywood, Charles Kelley and Hillary Scott say they are "embracing the power of vulnerability" with the release of Lady A's forthcoming album Ocean, set for release Nov. 15 on BMLG Records. According to the band, the new album "chronicles personal relationships and everyday responsibilities with a balance of growth and maturity that could only come from 13 years of creating together."

“There’s this theme of returning to the core of who we are—as writers, vocalists and people—that came out in each of these songs," Dave Haywood explains. “Our time in the studio with Dann had an excitement that felt like we were making our first album all over again."

Produced by first-time collaborator Dann Huff, Ocean is full of depth and despair.  "It's such a cinematic and theatrical melody with a message that became the cornerstone of this record for us," adds Scott. “Ocean is all of the things that we think and feel when we hear the word. This album is immersed in life stories about barely keeping your head above water all the way to those times that make you feel like everything is smooth sailing.”

The album allows Lady A to let loose too. "You Can Do You" is a swaying live-and-let-live anthem inspired by the hustle of Nashville's crowded streets, while "Boots" combines heartland-rock crunch with Celtic fiddles. On the swirling "The Thing That Wrecks You," the trio gets an assist from fellow Country music superstars Little Big Town, who supply background vocals; its dreamy coda features the two groups' vocals intermingling, weaving in and out of one another and occasionally hovering over the gauzy guitars.
