(AUDIO) SUGARLAND WAS DRAWN TO “BABE’S” HONESTY AND AUTHENTICITY

Sugarland’s latest single, “Babe,” was co-written by Taylor Swift and Pat Monahan of Train, and Jennifer explains that it resonated with her and Kristian because, “’Babe’ is a perfect representation of … being in the moment in your life and putting it out there. You know this is something whenever she wrote it that at the time was very much on her mind and on her heart, we shall say … And so it’s very authentic in that way in its offering. It is the story of a breakup. It is the story of a betrayal and it is the story of really getting to confront that person and to say like, ‘Well we’re not going to make it through this one, babe.’”

“Babe” is featured on Sugarland’s brand new album, BIGGER, which was just released a week ago.

Sugarland – Babe Taylor’s perspective  :35

Jennifer Nettles – “’Babe’ is a perfect representation of, I think, from a songwriting perspective, what Taylor Swift does very well. It is very confessional and it is very much … you wanna talk about what we talk about and being in the moment in your life and putting it out there. You know this is something whenever she wrote it that at the time was very much on her mind and on her heart, we shall say.”

Kristian – “You can tell.”

Jennifer – “Yeah. And so it’s very authentic in that way in its offering. It is the story of a breakup. It is the story of a betrayal and it is the story of really getting to confront that person and to say like, ‘Well we’re not going to make it through this one, babe.’”
