Gaslighter

Dixie Chicks are back! The trio roared back into the spotlight last week by unveiling the music video for their long awaited comeback single, "Gaslighter".

In the clip, Natalie Maines, Emily Strayer and Martie Maguire combine their trademark harmonies, barbed lyrics and sweet country pop sound, as they take down the manipulative villain at the center of the song's narrative. "You're such a gaslighter, denier, doin' anything to get your ass farther, gaslighter, big timer, repeating all of the mistakes of your father, gaslighter, you broke me, you're sorry, but where's my apology? Gaslighter, you liar", the trio sings on the brassy chorus.

Crafted by producer Jack Antonoff, "Gaslighter" will serve as the title track to the Dixie Chicks' forthcoming 8th album, their 1st studio set since 2006's "Taking The Long Way", to be released on May 1st, 2020.

In a new interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe, the band opened up about working with Antonoff and how the single's brassy sound inspired the rest of the album. "It was the 1st song we wrote with Jack Antonoff", Strayer said. "At the time we thought 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 and this needs to be the sound for this album, 'cause it was just, he blew us away and it was such a fun song to start with".
