Lady Antebellum bonded with fans, their road band and each other throughout the Own the Night world tour, and the multi-award-winning trio says their upcoming fourth album, Golden, due May 7, reflects that. Lady A made a point of experimenting and creating with their road band as they traveled the globe together. Their behind-the-scenes interaction inspired much of the music on the new project.

"We embraced risk," says Hillary Scott. "When you are pushing yourself to not go back to the same well, you're gonna come up with something different, or you'll find songs that are different. And that's what happened on this album." (See the complete track listing below.)

"We were just kind of in that live show mindset for this album," adds Dave Haywood. "We had that perspective of being on a tour and having seen what translates in an arena. We have a better idea what kind of songs are so relatable where it shakes everybody like, 'Oh, my God, I've totally been there.'"

"Every band I love that's been here for a long time has reinvented itself in some way," says Charles Kelley. "There's a balance to it. I get a little annoyed when people reinvent themselves too much because there's a reason people fell in love with you in the first place, but I think it's important not to regurgitate the same stuff over and over again."

The trio once again teams with veteran producer Paul Worley as co-producers on Golden.
