The rise of Nashville's premier vocal group, Lady Antebellum, can only be described as meteoric, and their fans' response to Need You Now suggests this band isn't coming back down to earth any time soon.
Debuting at #1 on both the Billboard Top 200 and the Top Country Albums charts, this sophomore album follows their huge 2008 debut with an album defined by strong choruses and finely-tuned harmonies. Expanding on the title track – already a chart-topper – in which a tale of lost love and late-night inebriation is dramatically heightened by inspired harmonies laid over the minor chords, Need You Now is about the triumphs and torments of love in all its manifestations.
Mixing beautiful ballads with poignant songs of pain and up-beat tunes, Need You Now is a superb addition to the country-pop crossover genre. It's sure to win Lady Antebellum a place in the CD collections of Australian and New Zealand music fans.
