‘STILL THE SAME’ 2018 Tour Kicks Off To Stellar Reviews
“Sugarland has found a way to stay in touch, with their audience and the broader world, by enlarging their scope on Bigger, and that’s no small feat.” – NPR Music

“Few artists can meld the joyful and the thoughtful as exuberantly as the country-pop duo do on their sixth studio album.”
– Entertainment Weekly

“The duo is very much still the same. Its chemistry is there. Their trust in each other is intact. Their creative vision is in lockstep.” – The Tennessean

“Sugarland haven’t missed a step. Bigger is, as the name suggests, an extrapolation of everything that made the celebrated pop country duo one of the biggest acts of the 2000s.” – Wide Open Country 

GRAMMY® Award-winning superstar duo SUGARLAND are celebrating the release of their critically acclaimed sixth studio record BIGGER, which arrived on June 8 via a joint venture with Big Machine Records and UMG Nashville. The duo recently appeared on the TODAY Show on NBC to perform a captivating rendition of “Babe”, their newest single from the album. The track was written by Taylor Swift and is currently in the Top 30 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Chart and at Country radio. Watch the performance HERE now.

Returning from a hiatus that saw both Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush release highly praised solo albums, BIGGER marks Sugarland’s first new album in eight years. Bush and Nettles co-wrote nearly all of the songs on the album, and have so far been drawing praise across the board from critics and fans alike. BIGGER is now available digitally and physically HERE.

BIGGER embodies the musical spirit that fans have come to expect from Sugarland, combining upbeat tracks with powerful message songs that address specific issues facing the world today and spark conversations for tomorrow. “Our hopefulness and our sparkiness and our joy are things I think we do uniquely well, especially in the country format,” says Jennifer of the set’s sunnier material. “We offer that in a unique way.” Bush added, “My daughter is turning 13. I wondered if there was a way to help her through the world she’s growing up in. There are songs on this album that are inspired by the idea of that conversation, and I hope they will speak to people of all ages, no matter who they are or what they’re facing in life.”

Sugarland also just wrapped a successful first leg of tour dates on their STILL THE SAME 2018 TOUR. The headline run kicked off in their home state of Georgia on May 25 and will crisscross its way through 49 cities in North America this summer.

“[A] bright, playful show” – Atlanta Journal Constitution

“No matter how much time has passed, the pair can, clearly, pick back up right where they left off.” – The Spokesman Review

The bold pairing of superstars SUGARLAND and TAYLOR SWIFT gets even BIGGER on Wednesday, June 6. For an unprecedented world premiere, CMT will debut the “Babe” music video trailer during the CMT Music Awards, which will air live at 8/7c.

Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush will first offer a live performance of “Babe” that morning during the 10 AM hour of NBC’s Today. Their appearance is part of a special segment live from Ole Red in Nashville with Hoda Kotb and Blake Shelton.

Rolling Stone Country described the Swift and Pat Monahan-penned track as, “…built on vivid, lived-in lyrics in classic Swiftian fashion, but contrasted by a relaxed, roots-pop feel that is 100 percent Sugarland.”

In addition to “Babe,” four other songs are also available now through the BIGGER album pre-order while NPR Music is currently offering a first listen here: https://www.npr.org/2018/05/31/615247730/first-listen-sugarland-bigger.

Sugarland produced BIGGER with Grammy-Award winner Julian Raymond and will be released June 8 through a joint venture with Big Machine Records and UMG Nashville. Fans can also experience the new music live as their STILL THE SAME 2018 TOUR rolls through 48 cities in the U.S. and Canada. For tour dates, visit https://sugarlandmusic.com/.

Sugarland Returns With New Studio Album BIGGER On June 8

By on April 12, 2018 in In The Press

New Set is Available to Pre-Order on April 13

Track List Officially Unveiled Today

Will Perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live! May 2GRAMMY® Award-winning superstar duo SUGARLAND announced their highly anticipated sixth studio album, titled BIGGER, will be released on June 8 and will become available for preorder on April 13. Sugarland’s Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush co-wrote nearly all of the songs on the album, which was co-produced by Kristian, Jennifer, and Julian Raymond. The project’s lead single, “Still The Same,” is currently climbing the Country radio charts ahead of the duo’s spring-summer STILL THE SAME 2018 TOUR.

After taking a hiatus to pursue a series of high profile solo projects, BIGGER is the duo’s first new music in seven years and the first project under their new joint venture with Big Machine Records and UMG Nashville. It will be available to pre-order at digital retailers as well as the title track, “Bigger,” available to download on April 13.

As fans have come to expect from Sugarland, BIGGER embodies the musical spirit of the band: it contains tracks both uptempo and upbeat as well as powerful message songs that address specific issues facing the world. “Our hopefulness and our sparkiness and our joy is one of the things I think we do uniquely well, especially in the country format,” says Jennifer of the set’s sunnier material. “We offer that in a unique way.”

The bold graphics of the recently unveiled album cover conjure up images of a circus tent, representative of both that fun side and some of the more enigmatic content on the project, which was written over and influenced by the course of the past six months. “This album has a whole bunch of mystery,” says Kristian, who has been enjoying peeling back the layers of the production and the nuanced songwriting. “I’m listening to it every two days just to see what’s in it. I have entire pints of blood in that thing, but I still don’t know where it all came from, and I love that.”

Recently featured on the cover of USA Today’s Life section, the duo will give fans a taste of the new material when they appear on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! May 2.

Their STILL THE SAME 2018 TOUR kicks off May 25 and will visit 48 cities in the U.S. and Canada, but the duo has already delighted audiences in the U.K. with their new material, earning standing ovations during their performances at the C2C: Country to Country festival in March.

Since the band’s inception in 2002, Sugarland has sold nearly 10 million albums domestically, earned seven No. 1 singles to date and amassed more than 260 million on-demand streams, making Sugarland one of the most popular Country music duos of all time.

Lauded by Entertainment Weekly as one of the format’s “most successful and beloved acts,” both members of the duo say their time away from writing and recording together has only made them come back stronger and, yes, BIGGER.

“We have always enjoyed playing in the margins and stretching the format,” says Jennifer. “But it’s fun to have taken this time away and seen how the format has expanded and how music has evolved. Before, we were playing in the margins. Now, the margins have moved, and that’s fun to hear.”

“It’s not like we stopped creating with [2010 album] THE INCREDIBLE MACHINE,” adds Kristian. “We kept going, but like a good Netflix show you skipped seasons three and four and now you’re seeing season five and you’re reminded of why you loved it. We didn’t really hit pause on anything. We both got on treadmills that were even faster in some ways. But we made a promise to come back, and we kept that promise.”

Sugarland Is Back And They Are Still The Same, Just Like The Title Of Their New Single

By on December 22, 2017 in Album & Song Reviews, Music, The Latest

Photo Credit: Shervin Lainez for Big Machine Records / UMG Nashville

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.

###

Yesterday, superstar Country duo Sugarland released their first single in seven years via a new joint venture with Big Machine Records and UMG Nashville. The single, “Still The Same,” is both aptly-titled and features the strength and positivity fans have come to expect from the acclaimed pair of Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush. Lyrics echo: “Let’s leave it better than how it came / our love is / still the same.” The hitmakers premiered the song worldwide with all digital partners, it’s available here: http://smarturl.it/StillTheSame

Since the band’s inception in 2002, Sugarland has sold nearly 10 million albums domestically, achieving high-mark sales with PLATINUM-certified THE INCREDIBLE MACHINE, 2X PLATINUM LOVE ON THE INSIDE and 3X PLATINUM TWICE THE SPEED OF LIFE as well as ENJOY THE RIDE. Their most popular songs include PLATINUM-certified “All I Want to Do” and “Stay,” 2X PLATINUM “Stuck Like Glue” as well as GOLD-certified “Baby Girl,” “It Happens,” “Settlin’,” “Something More” and “Want To.” Sugarland has also earned seven No. 1 singles to date and amassed over 260 million on-demand streams. Their critical and mainstream appeal has been magnified with industry accolades – five consecutive CMA Awards for Vocal Duo of the Year (2007-2011), five ACM Awards (including Song of the Year and Single of the Year) and GRAMMY® Awards for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and Best Country Song for “Stay.”

Sugarland will end the year with an exciting performance on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2018, which airs on ABC from New York City’s Times Square.

By on May 18, 2014 in In The Press

Kristian BushKristian Bush, one-half of Platinum-selling country duo Sugarland, will be honoring America’s veterans this year with a special performance at the National Memorial Day Parade in Washington, D.C. on Monday, May 26. The National Memorial Day Parade is the largest Memorial Day event in the nation and will be broadcast live on REELZ, as well as televised on the Pentagon Channel for servicemen and women stationed around the globe.

Currently, Bush is on the road with his 2014 PUT YOUR SOUL IN IT Tour, backed by a five-piece band.

Bush has been leaving his mark on music for more than two decades. The singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist started his career with folk rock duo Billy Pilgrim in the early ’90s, releasing a much-lauded pair of albums for Atlantic Records (self-titled debut and BLOOM).
