Two long years of missing them,
yearning for them, and wanting them back…wishing you could at least hear their
voice….
I’m not describing a
relationship with a partner, I mean Lady Antebellum. We parted on such good terms back in 2017
with the album and the You Look Good
tour. Ahh, sweet music, sweet memories –
I even held Charles’ hand in a tender moment at Birmingham (he needed help
standing on a chair, but we DEFINITELY connected at a spiritual level).
From that first moment of “Need You Know” I was reeled in, you had
me at “Hello” (well, you had me at a certain line in that song) and from then
on I was committed, I thought we would last.
So much happened then, we Owned
the Night, I thought we were Golden. But then, Heartbreak, you moved on.
New Label, new venue, new everything, but no new music.
Until now. I was worried, What If I Never Got Over You? You’ve come back, and I thought everything
would be excitement again, something new…but really…its the same Lady
Antebellum.
Ok, lets get serious. The new single has finally dropped and from
the very first listen it is very definitely Lady Antebellum, same sound we
love, some combination of voices, same style of swapping verses.
Francesca has a less emotional
take, she says
“It
is a very heartfelt, catchy, guitar driven ballad everyone should be able to
listen to and apply their own story”
and she is absolutely right.
The more I listen, the more
I like it, maybe I was hoping for something more breath taking after two years –
But the movin' on is
the hardest part
They are back, they are still fantastic, they
are still Lady Antebellum and we will all still love them, their music, their
emotive lyrics that sound like our own life stories written across the page.
What
if this lasts forever and ever and ever?
I
think it will.
Lady
Antebellum’s new single, their debut with Big Machine Records
“What If I Never Get Over You” is
released today and available on all the regular platforms
