Lady Antebellum will release their eighth studio album, Ocean, on Nov. 15.
The 13-track offering, which was produced by first-time collaboration Dann Huff, features a number of top songwriters, including Ross Copperman, Chris DeStefano, Hillary Lindsey, busbee, Ryan Hurd, Laura Veltz, Corey Crowder and more. Lady Aâs Hillary Scott, Dave Haywood and Charles Kelley had a hand in writing seven of the tracks. The albumâs âThe Thing That Wrecks Youâ features a collaboration with Little Big Town.
âThereâs this theme of returning to the core of who we areâas writers, vocalists and peopleâthat came out in each of these songs,â says Dave. âOur time in the studio with Dann had an excitement that felt like we were making our first album all over again.â
âItâs such a cinematic and theatrical melody that really tied together our standpoint of this record as a whole,â says Hillary. âOcean 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.â
The albumâs lead single, âWhat If I Never Get Over You,â is currently No. 15 on Billboardâs Country Airplay chart after 18 weeks. Lady A also released a new video for the albumâs title track on Sept 20, which you can watch below.
