Ever since it was unveiled during the CMA Awards and there was a special performance by them during the Big Machine CMA Awards after party announcing their return, I have eagerly-awaited new music from Sugarland.
They are back after a 7 year hiatus and newly-signed to a joint venture between Big Machine Label Group and UMG Nashville releasing their first single, “Still The Same”, to country radio yesterday.
I have to admit that tears filled my eyes and I was so ecstatic to see them reunited as Sugarland when Big Machine CEO Scott Borchetta announced they were back together as a duo and releasing new music soon back in November.
As great as Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush are as solo artists with each enjoying success on their own, there is just something magical when they come together as Sugarland.
This new song, “Still The Same”, is the perfect single to mark their return as the multi award-winning duo. The lyrics are poignant and heartfelt. The mid tempo melody is hopeful and anthem-like. You feel the energy. The song as a whole wells up emotions inside and you can not help but celebrate their return right along with them. There is a renewed enthusiasm that just exudes from them evident in the music video.
Check it out below and hear this beautiful, new song from them that I predict will go number one rather quickly.
Obviously, I highly-recommend buying it today and support Sugarland’s return.
