747

Lady A aren\'t interested in subverting the Nashville hit machine but rather setting the pace for it—hence their decision to enlist hitmaker Nathan Chapman (Taylor Swift) to produce *747*. Vibrant, uptempo tunes like \"Bartender\" and \"Down South\" find the band cutting loose in distinct contrast to career-making ballads like \"Need You Now.” This isn\'t to say the group don\'t know their way around a heartbreaking slow jam (see the smoldering \"One Great Mystery”). But it\'s the scorching choruses and fiery harmonies of a song like \"Freestyle\" that distinguish their fifth studio effort.
