CURRENT SINGLE: “What A Song Can Do”
CLICK HERE FOR “WHAT A SONG CAN DO” TOOLKIT
During the pandemic, Lady A was working on their latest album, What A Song Can Do, and since they weren’t touring, they had more time than ever to write songs, which meant they ended up with way more songs than they could fit on one album. While some artists chose to put out double albums to get the surplus of music they had created out into the world, Charles Kelley of Lady A says, “I personally can’t consume that much music at a time. For us though, I will say we wrote so much, and I do feel like we wrote a lot of quality stuff, that there’s gonna be a lot of songs that will probably make a future record. Cause we probably won’t be able to write this much ever again, I’m hopin’, cause we’ll be busy on the road. But I have a tough time personally consuming that much music.”
Plus, Hillary Scott points out that any song that didn’t make their latest album could end up being released in a different way. “We’re always open to where songs can find other homes, too. Whether it’s – and this is just wishful thinkin’ – in a movie or in a TV show.”
With so many avenues to get songs to fans besides just putting them on an album, Hillary says, “It is hard to walk away from 35 songs when we’ve piled up so many in the process of recording. So, hopefully they’ll find their own life.”

Hillary Scott – “We’re always open to where songs can find other homes, too. Whether it’s – and this is just wishful thinkin’ – in a movie or in a TV show. You know, there’s definitely other ways to give these songs life, because it is hard to walk away from 35 songs when we’ve piled up so many in the process of recording. So, hopefully they’ll find their own life.”
