You might recognize Hillary Scott as one-third of the seven-time GRAMMY award-winning country trio Lady Antebellum, but the talented singer is ditching her country stylings and getting back to her faith-filled roots with her latest album.
Scott is preparing to release new music, this time with her own family as her band members.
Titled Love Remains, the songstress’ upcoming record — a 13-track collection of faith-based songs — is a combination of hymns Scott grew up singing in church, newly-written originals and songs made popular by other artists.
After the death of her grandfather in 2011, Scott and her mother Linda Davis, father Lang Scott and younger sister Rylee leaned on their faith and music as a source of hope. To thank loved ones for support during that difficult time, the Scott family gave them record demos of their favorite hymns. As the summer of 2015 wound down and Lady Antebellum enjoyed time off from touring, the family’s plans for a 5 song CD as a gift to family and friends blossomed into what is now Love Remains.
“We’ve had this intense concentrated amount of time as a family together, which has been so special,” Scott says of singing with her family on the new record. “With all that we’ve gone through together, the highs, the lows – to be able to process all of that together, to heal together, to grieve together, to laugh, to cry, all of those things…it’s just been such a continuation of solidifying the strong foundation that we have in our family.”
The group’s music video for their first single “Thy Will” has already been a hit with Scott’s fans. Scott told People the song was as written about a more recent dark chapter in her life, a sudden miscarriage of her second pregnancy during the fall of last year.
Take a look as Scott explains how her latest music video came together and how she hopes it might inspire others facing difficult times.
