Lady A expands upon "What a Song Can Do"

Working again with producer Dann Huff, the 14 tracks retain the rootsy pop and harmonies from Dave Haywood, Charles Kelley and Hillary Scott. This is in effect an expanded version of "What a Song Can Do (Chapter One)," which came out with seven songs on June 25.

"We've rediscovered our purpose, and it's to entertain and spread a positive message. I really truly believe that," Kelley said. "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." This is the band's first release under the Lady A moniker instead of Lady Antebellum. The trio changed its name last year in the wake of the murder of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement. "Antebellum" was considered an ode to the South.

The lead single, "Like a Lady," stresses self-acceptance and female empowerment.

Thomas Rhett, Darius Rucker and tour mate Carly Pearce offer support in the trio's twang-rocking first true collaboration, "Friends Don't Let Friends." Haywood steps to the mic for his first-ever lead vocal on the devoted "Working On This Love," an acoustic poem written solo for his wife, Kelli. The 14-track project ends on with the romantic "Swore I Was Leaving," which was the first song the trio wrote for the project.
