As part of the promotional grind for their forthcoming album 747, due out Sept. 30, Lady Antebellum is taking to the streets to surprise seven lucky fans.
"We can't wait to see this idea come to life," singer Hillary Scott said. "We posted a note on our socials a few weeks ago asking for people to nominate friends or family who would love a surprise from Lady A, and a ton of great stories rolled in. There are so many inspiring fans out there who we want to celebrate! We have some huge plans up our sleeves, and you never know where we might pop up!"
The project, 7FOR7, will see them fulfill the wishes of seven fans in the span of seven days. Here is the promotional video, via Taste of Country: Post by Lady Antebellum.
As previously reported, Lady A's Charles Kelley credits switching up producers with helping the band find a new sound on their upcoming album.
"We wanted to sound a lot bigger and a little more in your face than records in the past," Kelley told Billboard. "We went out of our way to make sure that we found songs that had a lot more drive and energy to them. We really wanted to find songs that would translate to the live show like 'Freestyle' and 'Bartender,' so that's how we approached this record."
The group had been working with Paul Worley since their 2008 self-titled debut, but they decided to give producer Nathan Chapman a try for the new record.
"There's an infectious energy, and it's almost like he's the fourth member of the band," Dave Haywood said about Chapman. "There's this youthful excitement where he's got an idea, and we've got an idea. He's like a big kid in the studio, kind of goofy. People might think he's all reserved in the studio, but he turns into a 6-year-old kid who has just learned to play guitar."
