Trio
Country US formé en 2006 à Augusta (Georgie). Lady Antebellum est composé de
Charles Kelley, Dave Haywood et
Hillary Scott. Ils ont changé leur
nom en "Lady A" en Juin 2020.
Lady Antebellum walk
the line dividing modern country and adult contemporary, specializing in softer
songs laden in melody and harmony. "I Run to You," their first Country number
one, introduced this blend, but its 2009 sequel, "Need You Now," turned Hillary
Scott, Charles Kelley, and Dave Haywood into crossover stars as it peaked at
number two on Billboard's Hot 100. The trio continued to reach the pop Top 40,
all the while racking up a series of number one singles on Billboard's Country
Airplay that offered variations on their soothing country-pop into the 2020s: "American
Honey," "Just a Kiss," "We Owned the Night," "Downtown," "Bartender," and
"Champagne Night" all topped the Country Airplay charts.
The group formed when Scott met Kelley and Haywood in Nashville, and after a few
months of performing around the area, they signed with Capitol Nashville in
2007. Lady Antebellum's first single, "Love Don't Live Here," peaked at number
three on the country charts. A self-titled debut album followed in April 2008,
featuring production from Victoria Shaw and Paul Worley and stocked with more
country hits (including the chart-topping single "I Run to You," which also
enjoyed crossover success as a Top 40 pop hit).
Within a year-and-a-half, Lady Antebellum's debut had gone platinum and earned a
Grammy nomination, and the band enjoyed their newfound success while putting the
finishing touches on a second album. Need You Now appeared in early 2010, and
its leadoff single, "Need You Now," became the group's highest-charting song to
date, topping the country charts and peaking at number two on the Billboard Hot
100. It eventually sold over three million copies. The album experienced similar
success, going gold during its second week of release and reaching platinum
status soon after. By early 2011, Need You Now had sold more than three million
copies in America alone, and the band took a break from recording a third studio
album in order to attend the Grammys, where Lady Antebellum took home five
awards.
The band's third studio album, 2011's Own the Night, for which they wrote ten of
the 12 tracks and co-produced with Worley, generated a hot single on the country
chart right out of the box, "Just a Kiss," which became the trio's
fastest-rising single yet and crossed over, topping Billboard's adult
contemporary chart. Their next single, "Dancin' Away with My Heart," reached
number two on Billboard's country chart. Lady Antebellum released the holiday
album On This Winter's Night in the fall of 2012; the record entered the
Billboard Top Ten upon its release and was certified gold in the U.S.
In May 2013, Lady Antebellum issued Golden, their fourth full-length studio
album. Preceded by the hit single "Downtown," Golden entered the Billboard
charts at number one, but its second single, "Goodbye Town," underperformed. The
record was revived by a deluxe edition released in November 2013, thanks to the
inclusion of the single "Compass." Written by the pop-making machine Stargate, "Compass"
became a Top Ten country single in early 2014. The trio quickly followed Golden with 747 in
the fall of that year; helmed by Nathan Chapman, it was their first record not
produced by Worley. "Bartender," the record's first single, became a Top Ten
country single prior to the album's release. 747 produced two other modest hits
-- "Freestyle" and "Long Stretch of Love," which appeared in 2015 -- before
ending its album cycle.
Lady Antebellum took a hiatus in 2016, with Charles Kelley and Hillary Scott both
pursuing solo projects, and then returned in the summer of 2017 with the soft
and mellow busbee-produced Heart Break, which was nominated for a Grammy Award.
In early 2019, Lady Antebellum did a residency at Palms Casino Resort in Las
Vegas and returned with a new single, "What If I Never Get Over You," a few
months later. The song was the first single pulled from Ocean, the trio's first
album for the Big Machine subsidiary BMLG. Produced by Dann Huff, Ocean appeared
in November 2019 and debuted at number two on the U.S. Top Country Albums and at
number 11 on the Billboard 200.
In January 2021, Lady A became members of the Grand Ole Opry. That March, they
released "Like a Lady," an '80s-leaning retro-pop jam that was inspired by Dolly
Parton and Shania Twain. "Like a
Lady" heralded the arrival of What a Song Can Do, Lady
A's eighth album. Appearing in October 2021, What A Song Can Do was once
again produced by Huff and featured cameos by Darius
Rucker and Carly Pearce.
