Arlene Richie, jpistudios.com are facing a huge challenge as they enter the studio to record their third album, and the pressure of following up the second best-selling album of 2010 is not lost on
Charles Kelley and his bandmates. Fresh off the massive success of their smash hit '
Need You Now,' the trio are heading back into the studio this week to begin cutting songs, and instead of recording while on the road this time around, they blocked out two months to focus solely on the music. And though they've become superstars and been insanely busy non-stop since they made their last record, remarkably, they say they actually feel more prepared to record this time around than ever.
"We actually just decided we're going to take two, two and half months straight in the studio to create this thing and not have all this distraction. Hopefully that will be a good thing," Charles tells
Entertainment Weekly. "I always laugh and say that I thought we worked good in the chaos, and that was why it worked. We'll see if having too much time, what that does to us. Hopefully it's gonna make the process more enjoyable and not so stressful."
