Grammy award-winning country duo Sugarland has announced the release of their fourth studio album ‘The Incredible Machine’ on October 19th and its first single “Stuck Like Glue” on July 26th.

The duo, Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush, co-wrote the entire record and co-produced with Byron Gallimore.

In a press release, Nettles stated: “‘Stuck Like Glue’ is just plain, unashamed, Sugar-fun! It sticks in your brain, no pun intended. To me it feels young, hip and of course sassy! I can't wait for it to get out there so we can play it live in our show. We've been sitting on our hands to not play it live ‘til it was released!”

Sugarland has sold more than 8 million records and achieved six #1 singles since exploding onto the music scene with 2004 with ‘Twice The Speed Of Life’ (“Baby Girl”/“Something More”).

‘Enjoy the Ride’ (“Want To”/“Settlin’”/“Stay”) quickly followed in ’06 and their third studio album ‘Love On The Inside’ (“It Happens”/“Love”/“All I Want To Do”/“Already Gone”) in July ’08, which skyrocketed them to superstardom, drawing fans from all genres and critics abroad.

Sugarland is credited with co-writing all tracks from all three albums and co-producing the last two. As a thank you to their loyal fans, in August ’09, the duo released ‘Live On The Inside,’ a CD/DVD set of live tracks, covers and footage from their “Love On The Inside” tour. The same month ABC aired an hour-long network special featuring the pair in their most beloved setting...on stage.

The holiday season brought about ‘Gold And Green,’ a 10-track holiday collection consisting of half standards and the other half originals, all of which Nettles and Bush co-wrote. They also co-produced.

Nettles performed at the Obama Presidential Inauguration celebration and the duo has made two appearances on “Oprah”. They’ve performed in six European countries and headlined multiple U.S. tours. The duo is currently headlining “The Incredible Machine” tour and will vie for best “Country Group” at next month’s Teen Choice Awards.
