Scott Revealed Deeply Personal Story Behind
"Thy Will"
on Good Morning
America Today
The Moving Music Video for LOVE REMAINS' Debut
Single Premieres on VEVO
NASHVILLE, TN - June 20, 2016 - As part
of this morning's exclusive sit-down interview with ABC's Good Morning
America, seven-time GRAMMY award-winning Lady Antebellum member Hillary
Scott announced July 29th
as the release date of LOVE REMAINS
(EMI Nashville) by Hillary Scott & The Scott Family.
"The process of making this album
has been not only creatively inspiring but I’ve also really been able to grow
as a person," shared Hillary Scott. "We’ve had this intense
concentrated amount of time as a family together, which has been so special.
With all that we’ve gone through together, the highs, the lows - to be able to
process all of that together, to heal together, to grieve together, to laugh,
to cry, all of those things...it’s just been such a continuation of solidifying
the strong foundation that we have in our family."
After the passing of her grandfather in
2011, Hillary alongside mother Linda Davis, father Lang Scott and younger
sister Rylee, leaned on their faith and music as a source of hope through the
difficult time. The Scott family yearned to thank loved ones for their support
and set out to record demos of family-favorite hymns.
As the summer of 2015 wound down and Lady Antebellum soaked-in time off the road, the family's plans for a five song CD as a gift to family and friends, blossomed into what is now LOVE REMAINS.

The 13-track collection of faith-based songs is a combination of hymns Hillary grew up singing in church, newly-written originals and songs made popular by other artists. With the help of producer Ricky Skaggs, the forthcoming album blurs the lines between gospel, bluegrass, country and pop. At the center of the mix are the rich, entwined voices of the Scotts, who take turns harmonizing and singing lead.
"We didn’t want to make a sad
record," noted Lang Scott. "You’re always sad when you lose a loved
one, but if you have that faith, it gives you hope. It gives you the courage to
press on.”
While the upcoming album's lead single
"Thy Will" offers that universal message of hope, today on Good Morning
America, Hillary also shared
her own personal struggle that led to "baring her soul like never
before" (People). She
revealed that the song was written about a more recent dark chapter in her
life, a sudden miscarriage of her second pregnancy during the fall of 2015.
