The four members of Little Big Town take pride in the fact that they are all equals, and nobody is considered the lead singer.
“That was the plan, from the get-go,” Kimberly Schlapman tells “Rolling Stone.” “Our label was like, you have to pick a lead singer, and we were pretty strong about, ‘No, we don’t. That’s not what we’re going to do.’”
Lately it does seem like Karen Fairchild has emerged as their front woman, since she sings some of their biggest hits, and also sings lead on 10 of the 13 songs on their new album “Nightfall,” but Karen doesn’t see it that way.
“What we have together, it feels very special,” Karen shares. “I have a lot of songs on the new album, and that’s just because I wrote a bunch of them, so I had sung the demos.” She adds, “Because my bandmates are amazing people, they were like, ‘We’re not taking your voice off of it, that would be weird.’”
Karen notes, “It’s a great thing that we get to share the talents of the band, and the idea is to exploit those.”
