Lady Antebellum w/Jake Owen & Maddie & Tae.

For a band like Lady Antebellum – the multi-Platinum, seven-time Grammy winning country trio of Dave Haywood, Charles Kelley, and Hillary Scott – the metaphor of life as an ocean comes natural.

After more than a decade in the spotlight, they’ve ridden its waves and weathered its storms, learning just how easily it can swallow you up. But between “Need You Now” (a 9X-Platinum record setter), starting families and exploring their own uncharted musical territory, they’ve also discovered another, more beautiful side to the squalls and swells. Now with their seventh studio album, the group embraces everything the OCEAN of life has to offer.

Produced by first-time collaborator Dann Huff, OCEAN is Lady Antebellum’s debut on BMLG Records, a new beginning that helped address the expansive OCEAN concept. Rooted in the organic, elemental compounds which began their journey, rich harmonies are informed by everything from ‘70s rock to Southern gospel, interwoven with plush country instrumentation and applied to vulnerable, eternal themes of the heart … like the ocean itself, constant but always changing.

It’s not really a throwback album for the trio with over 18 million album units and 34 million tracks sold, four billion streams and nine Billboard No. One hits – there’s simply too much personal growth for that to be the case. But it does mark a special moment for the band, relaunched and refocused.

“It’s definitely a cleansing record,” Kelley says. “There’s this theme of returning to the core of who we are—as writers, vocalists and people—that came out in each of these songs,” Dave Haywood agrees. “Our time in the studio with Dann had an excitement that felt like we were making our first album all over again.”

That excitement almost leaps from the speakers in tracks like the fiddle-assisted “Crazy Love” and big-picture anthem, “Alright.” But the maturity that comes with 13 years together is ever present, giving added heft to songs like the longing first single “What If I Never Get Over You,” hopeful “Let It Be Love” and grooving, less-is-more romance of “Mansion.”

While OCEAN is full of deeply emotional moments, Lady A lets loose, too. “You Can Do You” is a swaying live-and-let-live anthem inspired by the camaraderie found in Nashville’s crowded honky tonks, while “Boots” combines heartland-rock crunch with Celtic fiddles. But the project closes with its title track, a piano-backed showcase for Scott’s raw, unadorned vocal that lands like a tidal wave, leaving its mark on everything that came before.
