AVAILABLE JULY 29TH
Scott Revealed Deeply Personal Story Behind “Thy Will” on Good Morning America Today
The Moving Music Video for LOVE REMAINS’ Debut Single Premieres Today on VEVO
NASHVILLE, TN – June 20, 2016 – As part of this morning’s exclusive sit-down interview with ABC’s Good Morning America, seven-time GRAMMY award-winning Lady Antebellum member Hillary Scott announced July 29th as the release date of LOVE REMAINS (EMI Nashville) by Hillary Scott & The Scott Family.
“The
process of making this album has been not only creatively inspiring but
I’ve also really been able to grow as a person,” shared Hillary Scott.
“We’ve had this intense concentrated amount of time as a family
together, which has been so special. With all that we’ve gone through
together, the highs, the lows – to be able to process all of that
together, to heal together, to grieve together, to laugh, to cry, all of
those things…it’s just been such a continuation of solidifying the
strong foundation that we have in our family.”
After
the passing of her grandfather in 2011, Hillary alongside mother Linda
Davis, father Lang Scott and younger sister Rylee, leaned on their faith
and music as a source of hope through the difficult time. The Scott
family yearned to thank loved ones for their support and set out to
record demos of family-favorite hymns. As the summer of 2015 wound down
and Lady Antebellum soaked-in time off the road, the family’s plans for a
five song CD as a gift to family and friends, blossomed into what is
now LOVE REMAINS.
The
13-track collection of faith-based songs is a combination of hymns
Hillary grew up singing in church, newly-written originals and songs
made popular by other artists. With the help of producer Ricky Skaggs,
the forthcoming album blurs the lines between gospel, bluegrass, country
and pop. At the center of the mix are the rich, entwined voices of the
Scotts, who take turns harmonizing and singing lead.
“We
didn’t want to make a sad record,” noted Lang Scott. “You’re always sad
when you lose a loved one, but if you have that faith, it gives you
hope. It gives you the courage to press on.”
While the upcoming album’s lead single “Thy Will” offers that universal message of hope, today on Good Morning America, Hillary also shared her own personal struggle that led to “baring her soul like never before” (People).
She revealed that the song was written about a more recent dark chapter
in her life, a sudden miscarriage of her second pregnancy during the
fall of 2015. To watch her moving interview, click HERE.

LOVE
REMAINS offers plenty to believe in. These are songs that find the
redemption in struggle, the peace in death, the joy in bonding with
family members whenever times are tough. The stories behind the songs

sounded more at home.
