Sugarland To Release New Album 'Bigger' in June

Sugarland is back and Bigger than ever.

The country duo has announced its fifth studio album Bigger will drop on June 8.

The project, their first following a five-year hiatus, features messages about empowerment, tragedy and brokenness.

“I think there’s something with Sugarland that is a higher calling,” lead singer Jennifer Nettles tells the Tennessean. “What we’ve been writing for this new record, it is clear we had things inside of us that we felt the world needed to hear. I think translating that pain into hope is something that Sugarland does really well.”

Jennifer adds that Bigger, the first single for which is "Still the Same," also “invites questions” and includes “serious grooves.”

Sugarland takes its new music on the road for the 2018 Still the Same Tour beginning in May, but Jennifer and fellow member Kristian Bush aren’t sure what will happen after that.  

“What we have done for our fans, I hope, is show them they can trust there are times when we will come apart, and there are times when we will come back together,” she says. “I love that we have done exactly what we said we were going to do. We took time and … we came back.”

Sugarland will appear on American Idol to mentor contestants April 9 on ABC.
