Recently, she released her new single, "Reckless," the title track from her 13th studio album due out April 29. She has earned more than 15 major music awards, including four wins for Female Vocalist of the Year from the Country Music Association and three Academy of Country Music Awards for Top Female Vocalist.

Country superstar Jennifer Nettles recently released her debut single on Big Machine Records "Unlove You," the lead track from her sophomore solo album PLAYING WITH FIRE due out May 13.
