Lady Antebellum decamped to residences in Florida and southern California to create their upcoming sixth studio album, Heart Break, allowing themselves time completely focus on writing for the new album.
“When we started working on this record, the goal was to give ourselves some space from the day to day,” said Lady Antebellum’s Hillary Scott. “Surrounding ourselves in a new environment with sunny beaches and warm weather really helped free our minds to focus solely on our art. We took some of our favorite writers and other writers we hadn’t worked with before to a new inspiring backdrop, where we were able to just write and soak up the journey. And it was on our first trip in Florida when we wrote ‘Heart Break’ that we felt it all click.”
They enlisted producer busbee, as well as a lengthy list of sterling Nashville co-writers, including Jesse Frasure, Nicolle Galyon, Sara Haze, Hillary Lindsey, Shane McAnally, Eric Paslay, and more.
The collaborations resulted in songs such as the horn-driven current single, “You Look Good,” as well as the ’70s-inspired “Think About You,” and ballad “Hurt.”
Heart Break releases June 9 on Capitol Records Nashville.
