Dixie Chicks has been teasing a comeback for some time, and things are finally official. The band’s first album in 14 years will be titled Gaslighter, and it’s coming our way this spring.
The country trio’s eighth studio album will be released by Colombia on May 1st, and they teased it by dropping a music video for the lead single of the same name.
“Gaslighter” was the first song that Natalie Maines, Emily Robison, and Martie Maguire wrote alongside Jack Antonoff, who produced their entire album.
“We thought we were gonna write with a bunch of different people and get different producers, and we wrote with him and we’re like, ‘He needs to produce it.’ This needs to be the sound for this album, ’cause he blew us away,” said Emily Robison during an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe.
Dixie Chicks dropped their previous studio album Taking the Long Way in 2006 and went on hiatus shortly after their documentary Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing came out that same year. They toured in between, but haven’t recorded any new solo songs before dropping “Gaslighter”.
