2023–present: New music

[edit]

On July 17, 2023, Lady A teased a new song on their Instagram called "Love You Back".[42]

Name controversy

[edit]

The band members have always said that the band's name was chosen arbitrarily, complaining about the difficulty of choosing a name. Inspired by the "country" style nostalgia of a photo shoot at amansionfrom theAntebellum South,they said, "one of us said the word and we all kind of stopped and said, man, that could be a name"[43]and "Man that's a beautiful Antebellum house, and that's cool, maybe there's a haunted ghost or something in there like Lady Antebellum."[44]Haywood concluded, "[We] had a lady in the group, obviously, and threw Lady in the front of it for no reason. I wish we had a great resounding story to remember for the name, but it stuck ever since."[43]The name was always controversial, with a critic inMs. Magazinewriting in 2011 that the band's name "seems to me an example of the way we still — nearly 150 years after the end of the Civil War, nearly 50 years after the Civil Rights Act; and in a supposedly post-racial country led by abiracial president— glorify a culture that was based on the violent oppression of people of color ".[44][45]

On June 11, 2020, joining widespread commercial response to theGeorge Floyd protests,[44]the band announced it would abbreviate its name to its existing nickname "Lady A" to remove the term 'Antebellum'.[46][1]The band members stated on social media that, never having previously sought the dictionary definition of the word "antebellum",they now consulted their" closest black friends and colleagues "so that their" eyes opened wide to the injustices, inequality and biases black women and men have always faced and continue to face every day. Now, blind spots we didn't even know existed have been revealed. "[47]Fan response was mixed, with many decryingvirtue signalingor even disparaging the protests.[44]American Songwritersaid, "Given that the world knows what that A stands for, to many this change does little more than add extra insult to this ongoing injury."[48]

The next day, it was widely reported that the name "Lady A" had already been in use for more than 20 years by Seattle-based African American activist and blues, soul, funk, and gospel singerAnita White.The band again admitted ignorance of any prior use, which White called "pure privilege".Interviewed byRolling Stone,White described the band's token acknowledgement of racism while blithely appropriating an African American artist's name: "They're using the name because of aBlack Lives Matterincident that, for them, is just a moment in time. If it mattered, it would have mattered to them before. It shouldn't have takenGeorge Floyd to diefor them to realize that their name had a slave reference to it. It's an opportunity for them to pretend they're not racist ". A veteran music industry lawyer observed that such name clashes are uncommon due to the existence of the Internet.[49][50]The band members contacted White the next week to apologize for having inadvertently co-opted and dominated her name,[51]saying that the Black Lives Matter movement had inspired them to a collaborative attitude. They nonetheless required retaining the same name, though she believed dual-naming is inherently impossible.[52]She said "We talked about attempting to co-exist but didn't discuss what that would look like"[51]because the band members would not directly respond to that explicit question three times during the conversation or in two contract drafts. She soon submitted a counteroffer that either the band would be renamed, or that her act would be renamed for a $5 million fee plus a $5 million donation to be split between Seattle charities, a nationwide legal defense fund for independent artists, and Black Lives Matter.[52]

On July 8, 2020, the band filed a lawsuit against White, asking a Nashville court to affirm its longstanding trademark of the name. The press release read: "Today we are sad to share that our sincere hope to join together with Anita White in unity and common purpose has ended. She and her team have demanded a $10 million payment, so reluctantly we have come to the conclusion that we need to ask a court to affirm our right to continue to use the name Lady A, a trademark we have held for many years."[53]

On September 15, 2020, White filed a counter-suit asserting her claim to the Lady A trademark and rejecting the notion that both artists could operate in the same industry under the same brand identity. She is seeking damages for lost sales and a weakened brand, along with royalties from any income the band receives under the Lady A moniker.[54][55]

In October 2021, musicianLilli Lewis's albumAmericanawas temporarily blocked and held for review by the streaming-serviceSpotifybecause one of the songs on the album, "A Healing Inside", credited White as "Lady A". The album was returned to the streaming within a week of Lewis becoming aware of the situation.[56][57]

In February 2022,Pitchforkreported that White and the band had settled their lawsuit: "the parties filed a joint request for dismissal to a judge in a federal Tennessee court" and the "terms of the settlement have not been disclosed".[58][59]

Charity

[edit]

Since January 2012, Lady A has been partnered with the charity myLIFEspeaks, to raise awareness of and provide facilities for disabled orphans inHaiti.At the start of the year 2013, the members of the group also created the fund called LadyAID, which was created in hopes of bringing awareness to children who suffer and cannot help themselves locally, nationally and around the world. The main focus of LadyAID is the children in hospitals, mainly in the United States and Canada.[60][61]
