Lady Antebellum
If you like county music then you will like the band Lady Antebellum. This band grew to fame when their new single “Need You Now” hit No. 1 on the Billboard Charts. Lady Antebellum album Need You Now will evoke the listeners’ soft and romantic side. Like many country artists and bands, Lady Antebellum sings and writes about love and life with a soft melody. Hillary Scott is the female vocalist in the band, whose voice dominates in most of the band’s songs along with fellow band mates Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood. When comparing and contrasting Lady Antebellum to Gloriana, another country band; there are a few similarities and difference between these two bands. There is a soft and sweet tone to the songs sung by Lady Antebellum. On the other hand, Gloriana’s songs are sung with a hint of rock & roll and excitement. Both band sing outstanding songs and have a passion for music. The most memorable lyrics that pops into my mind is the song “I Run to You.”A part of the lyrics is “This world keeps spinning faster, into a new disaster so I run to you.” This song talks about people running away from situations in their lives that they fear and run away to someone they know who will be there for them. I think Lady Antebellum was correct when writing this song because in real life, people do run away from things that they do not want to face. The Rollingstone rates Lady Antebellum 2 stars and says “Lady Antebellum have potential, but they're mostly dull — by design.” I do not agree with Rollingstone’s review. Rating them 2 out of 5 stars is a slap in the face. This rating is basically saying that Lady Antebellum’s music is not average, but below average. Entertainment Weekley rated Lady Antebellum with a B+. Now I agree with this rating because it means that Lady Antebellum is an excellent country music band but not phenomenal yet. It can only get better and not worse. Entertainment Weekly says, “They harmonize so prettily over the piano-laced pulse of ''Need You Now'' and I agree with this statement because their voices make you fall in love with the song and be in a peaceful mood. I do believe that Lady Antebellum is worth your time and money. Not only are their songs soulful, but they also have a connection to life. Sure, every song has a life connection to them, but all these songs are not sung with a peaceful melody by Lady Antebellum.
