Seven-time
Grammy award winning trio Lady Antebellum served as the guest artist
during last night’s (4/13) season two premiere of NBC’s Songland,
where they chose the winning song “Champagne Night” (BMLG Records).
Penned by the show’s mentor Shane McAnally, alongside aspiring
songwriter Madeline Merlo and the trio, the laidback pick-me-up was
crafted specifically for Lady A as it underwent a series of edits and
studio sessions. Serving as a lighthearted ode to a simplified, humble
interpretation of the high-life, “Champagne Night” has immediately
jumped to the No. One spot on iTunes’ all genre chart and is available on all digital platforms here.
In addition to the new track’s release, Lady A and cast members took
the song’s meaning to heart during self isolation as they express its
easygoing message through the official music video here.
“Champagne
Night” coincides with the continued success behind Lady A’s latest
single “What I’m Leaving For” as the “utterly beautiful” (Music Row) track climbs at Country radio. The heartfelt song “feels timely” (US Weekly) and serves as the immediate follow-up to their recent GOLD certified No. One hit “What If I Never Get Over You.”
Over
the course of their decade-plus career, Lady Antebellum has become one
of the 21st century’s premier vocal groups, blending deeply felt
emotions with classic Country sounds. As a Country-radio staple, the
trio has amassed record-breaking success ushering in 10 No. One hits
with more than 18 million album units and 34 million tracks sold and
nearly 5 billion digital streams. The trio earned the biggest first week
streams of their career with their critically acclaimed No. One album
OCEAN that has been touted as “the finest album of the band’s career” (Nashville Scene). Known for their 9X Platinum hit “Need You Now” which is the highest certified song by a Country group, they have earned ACM and CMA “Vocal Group of the Year” trophies three years in a row and countless other honors including seven GRAMMY awards, Billboard Music Awards, People’s Choice Awards, Teen Choice Awards and a Tony Award
nod. Lady A’s upcoming OCEAN 2020 TOUR will mix a hit-filled set with
fan-favorites and new songs when it launches on July 2nd in Sacramento,
CA, with very special guest Jake Owen as direct support along with
openers Maddie & Tae. For more information on tour dates and Lady A
