LADY ANTEBELLUM FOLLOWS THEIR “COMPASS” TO FIND TREASURE
WITH NEW SINGLE AVAILABLE AT COUNTRY RADIO TODAY
Brand New Track is Available on iTunes Oct. 1 and on
Forthcoming Deluxe Version of GOLDEN Out Nov. 12
Nashville,
TN – Sept. 30, 2013 – Seven-time GRAMMY award-winning trio Lady
Antebellum revealed their new single “Compass” to fans today on
Facebook. Also shipping to Country Radio today, “Compass” is an arena
sized sing-along driven by banjo and mandolin instrumentation. It will
be available on iTunes tomorrow and will be included in a special
edition GOLDEN DELUXE in stores Nov. 12. Recent time off from the road
has allowed the trio to channel their efforts off-stage by exploring
new musical boundaries, resulting in a studio session too pivotal to
ignore.
“We’ve
had a lot time off from the road this summer to focus on our personal
lives and really clear our heads…we’ve never done that before,” said
Lady A’s Charles Kelley. “That break was more beneficial than we ever
thought it would be and through some experimentation in the studio with
Nathan Chapman, we found this new song that we knew we had to really dig
into.”
“It
was love at first listen with ‘Compass,’” continued Dave Haywood. “You
hear people talk about songs they knew they couldn’t live without, and
this is one of them for us. Once we all got in the studio to record our
parts and really work with the instrumentation, it took on an energy
that felt really fresh and different. We tried some new things vocally,
and by adding foot stomps and hand claps to the acoustic sounds of the
banjo, fiddle and mandolin, it really turned into something special.”
“I
immediately fell in love with the spirit of the song,” added Hillary
Scott. “As we made it our own, we decided we had to share it with the
fans immediately…we just couldn’t wait! They’ve been so patient with us
over the last few months as I’ve begun a new chapter in my life
personally. Everything takes on new meaning once you have a child, and
now I can hear the message of the song through Eisele’s ears too. It
opens up a whole new world to you as an artist.”
