Jennifer Nettles' new solo album is a round peg too big for country music’s square hole. Actually, ‘That Girl’ is sort of a zig-zaggy shaped object that doesn’t fit neatly within any genre’s stingy requirements. Jazz, blues, country, big band, Broadway, classic rock … Nettles dabbles.

It's a big day for Jennifer Nettles, who is paving the way into a solo career. Her album 'That Girl' streets Tuesday (Jan. 14), and to boost excitement, she stopped into the 'Today' show to deliver a performance of a new song, 'Falling.'

It's been a crazy year for Jennifer Nettles. Son Magnus turned a year old, the country songstress ventured out on a solo career and she and her husband are in the process of moving into a new home. Needless to say, Nettles is a little behind on Christmas.

Diva alert! Jennifer Nettles -- who served as the host of the 2013 'CMA Country Christmas' on Monday (Dec. 2) -- sang many songs through the evening. But perhaps her most powerful moment was her absolutely gorgeous duet with soul singer Mary J. Blige, 'Do You Hear What I Hear?'

Hunter Hayes has been added to the performers' lineup for this year's CMA Country Christmas special, airing Monday, December 2nd on ABC. In addition to singing on the show, Hunter has also created an interactive Christmas Q&A allowing fans to guess his answers to questions,

Jennifer Nettles has demonstrated through her single and title track 'That Girl' that her upcoming solo album will be one fans should be eagerly anticipating. Now, two more pieces of the puzzle -- the album art and track listing -- have been revealed.

Jennifer Nettles introduced the Kenny Rogers tribute at the 2013 CMA Awards (Nov. 6). Rogers was honored with the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award, but before he received his trophy, he enjoyed modern acts performing a medley of his songs before joining him in song.

Artists like LeAnn Rimes and RaeLynn spoofed other country stars on Halloween 2013. 'The Voice' singer took a playful jab at Blake Shelton circa 2002, while Rimes and husband Eddie Cibrian dressed as Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers circa 1983. The most adorable costume pictures, of course, came from the new parents. Hillary Scott, Jennifer Nettles and Chely Wright all shared photos of their tots on

When I first began watching this video I thought "This is the wrong video! That's not Jennifer Nettles." Then I heard the voice and it was her voice but it sure didn't look like her.  Check out the new video for her song "That Girl".

We're used to seeing spunky Jennifer Nettles with her telltale smile and shiny blonde locks. So, to see the songstress with dark tresses is a pretty big shock -- but thankfully, it's just for her 'That Girl' video!

Fear not, Sugarland fans: Even though Kristian Bush and Jennifer Nettles both have solo projects going on, the duo isn't breaking up.

It would have been foolish to expect anything less than an original from Jennifer Nettles' debut solo effort. 'That Girl' rides in that funky furrow Sugarland cut deep for so many years without sounding like the duo at all.
