Lady Antebellum’s new album, Own the Night, is all about moments in love. Each of the twelve tracks focuses on an aspect of love, from “Dancin’ Away With My Heart,” a song that reflects back on a young love long since lost, to “Love I’ve Found In You,” which describes the contentment and comfort that love can bring.
Lady Antebellum, formed in 2006, is made up of Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood. The trio burst on the country music scene in Nashville and they’ve been favorites of pop country fans ever since.
Own The Night is Lady Antebellum’s third album but they clearly aren’t resting on their laurels. This album is full of songs that are sure to be hits. Country radio fans have surely heard “Just A Kiss,” Lady Antebellum’s first released single from this album, and fans of the group won’t be disappointed with this newest effort.
Notable tracks are plentiful on this album, including my personal favorite, “Friday Night,” which opens with music that sounds like an 80’s power ballad, but turns into a song that fans are going to love to sing along with.
“We Owned The Night,” is the title track and the first on the album. It builds to a beautiful song celebrating the joy of a night of love. The song remains upbeat and charming, despite the fact that it is written about a love that has passed by.
The last track on the album, “Heart of the World,” is a perfect ending. It is an uplifting love song that purports that “love is the heart of the world,” and completes the album on a sweet note.
