Lady Antebellum will release their brand-new album on Friday (June 9th). The band took a lot of time off last year to pursue solo projects, but also to concentrate on writing and exploring musical endeavors with no distractions. They rented a house in Florida, living and working under the same roof, and when the creative process proved successful, the trio set up a second retreat in southern California.
“We were just thinking about how to get back to that spot, you know how we wrote and started for the first two records. It’s ‘cause we didn’t have any responsibilities. You could write a hundred songs a year, and we haven’t been able to do that since then,” says Lady A’s Charles Kelley. “So, Dave had the idea, he goes, ‘Let’s just get out of Nashville, man.’ We went down to Florida early in the fall and took a bunch of writers with us, and then we had this idea to move out to L.A., and we rented a house out there for like a month and found like another house with a home studio and called up our buddy busbee and the songs just kinda poured out like really fast.”
The band, who is making its way up the country charts with their single, “You Look Good,” will perform at Nissan Stadium
Lady A will perform on NBC’s Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday (June 13th).

I bet we wrote the majority of this record in like what, a span of a month really. I mean just all these songs kinda just came out and ‘Heart Break,’ specifically, the title track, was when we felt like, okay, now we have kinda the hero song, so to speak, of the record and we can base everything around it
