Lady Antebellum
Jul 27, 2014

This week, Capitol Nashville trio Lady Antebellum unveiled the cover art and release date for their fifth studio album. Landing in stores on Tuesday, September 30th, "747" will feature eleven brand new tracks, including their current single "Bartender." The trio is excited to unveil their new material, having co-written a large number of the tracks. "We had the opportunity to write with some new songwriters and really dig for outside songs that were songs we wish we'd written," stated Lady A's Dave Haywood. "As we took them into the studio, we changed our approach and challenged ourselves to try some new things that were outside of what we'd done before." Lady A's Charles Kelley doesn't seem worried about fan reception of the new style. "To get the reaction we've gotten from 'Bartender' has only made us more fired up about the rest of these songs!" said Kelley. To understand the new sound, fans need look no further than the title track. "We unanimously knew that our album title had to be '747'," said Lady A's Hillary Scott. "The track itself has this pushing, driving spirit about it that sums up our attitude right now. We are pushing ourselves as a band and as songwriters...taking ourselves out of our comfort zone and not taking ourselves too seriously."
