Lady A Demonstrates ‘What A Song Can Do’ On Upcoming Album

/by

Lady A has shared some details behind their upcoming new album, What A Song Can Do, out through BMLG Records on Oct. 22. As a preview, the trio has unveiled “Where Would I Be,” which is available on streaming platforms now.

The 14-track project serves as a love letter of sort to Lady A’s fans, and reinvigorates the band’s signature sound with help from producer Dan Huff. The project contains their Top-15-and-rising lead single “Like a Lady” as well as plenty of unheard tracks, such as “You Keep Thinking That” which puts Scott’s sassiness on blast, and “Friends Don’t Let Friends,” a collaboration featuring Thomas Rhett, Darius Rucker and Carly Pearce.

Additionally, Dave Haywood, one third of the group, steps to the mic for his first-ever lead vocal on the devoted “Working On This Love” as it finds him delivering a tender acoustic poem written solo for his wife, Kelli. The album ends with “Swore I Was Leaving” which was the first song the trio wrote for What A Song Can Do. Writers contributing to the project include Laura Veltz, Jesse Frasure, Thomas Rhett, Corey Crowder, Ryan Hurd, and more.

“We’ve rediscovered our purpose, and it’s to entertain and spread a positive message – I really truly believe that,” Charles Kelley says. “I want our legacy to be songs that make people feel good. But, I also think there’s more to our story that hasn’t been written yet.”

With 11 No. 1s, 18 million albums sold, 34 million tracks, and five billion digital streams, the group recently launched their 34-city “Lady A: What A Song Can Do Tour” with special guests Pearce, Niko Moon, and Tenille Arts. Lady A will also make a special stop to the brand new First Bank Amphitheater on Aug. 27 as part of the Franklin venues inaugural lineup.
