Lady Antebellum is whetting the appetite for new music with the announcement of Ocean, the band’s newest album arriving on November 15. The title track docked today on digital service providers.
So far, Lady A has introduced tracks like “What If I Never Get Over You” and “Pictures” from the project, which marks their first time working with Dann Huff as well as their first album for Big Machine Label Group. Little Big Town makes an appearance on “The Thing That Wrecks You.”
“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 says. “Our time in the studio with Dann had an excitement that felt like we were making our first album all over again.”
“It’s such a cinematic and theatrical melody that really tied together our standpoint of this record as a whole,” adds Scott. “Ocean stands for all of the things that we think and feel when we hear the word. Its parallel with those feelings much like the songs about barely keeping your head above water and others that make you feel like everything is smooth sailing.”
