• Rating: 4 1/2 Stars

Lady Antebellum is a country music group already boasting of three Country Music Association Awards, one Acadamy of Country Music Award, and one Grammy.  In their most recent single, Need You Now, Lady Antebellum shows us exactly how they plan on adding to their trophy collection.

Need You Now is about a man and a woman that had been in a relationship, but have broken up.  In the first part of the song, the woman, played by Hillary Scott, is singing about how the memories of their relationship are crystal clear like scattered photographs on the floor.  She is alone, and misses him greatly.  She talks about how she thinks of him all of the time, and wonders if he thinks of her as well.  In the Final section of the song, the man, played by Charles Kelley, is singing of how he thinks of her all of the time, and of how he needs her.  He has lost all of his control, and he cannot make it without her.

The music suits the lyrics well, and adds to the emotional element of the song.  Bass, acoustic, and electric guitars consume the instrumental foreground while a staccato-like piano opens the song and provides a transitional constituent between sections.  Need You Now is a well-performed and excellently executed song, and with female vocals reminiscent of Taylor Swift, how can you go wrong.
