Released in 2007, the album is still hot property for label Universal Music.

At time of press, the video clip for the album's most tender moment, Shotgun, sits in the number one spot of cable country music channel CMC's top 30 playlist.

With such acclaim, you'd expect the girls - Brooke, Samantha and Mollie - to be feeling nervous when it comes to preparing for the sophomore release.

But its not the case, as the Sun found out, speaking to them before soundcheck at their March 14 sell-out performance at Rooty Hill RSL.

The show was just a day after they returned from a month-long writing sabbatical in country music's spiritual heartland, Nashville.

According to Brooke, they've already got around 30 songs in hand.

``I downloaded all the work tapes onto my computer and I was just going, `my goodness, there's such a range of different songs','' she said.

``I'm not personally worried about the pressure of this album at all, I think it's going to be awesome.''

While in Nashville, the girls wrote with a who's who of songwriters, including Nathan Chapman (Taylor Swift's producer), Tom Shapiro, Tommy Lee James (Delta Goodrem writer) and Wayne Kirkpatrick.

``We had a couple of weekends off but we filled them with songwriting sessions because we knew when we were over there we weren't on a holiday,'' said Samantha.

Mollie said it was good to write with others as it offered a different perspective.

``It's good to see what they can bring ... different elements,'' she said.

The girls hope to hit the recording studios in May/June, but before doing so will write more tracks with a series of Australian songwriters as well as working on their own.

The girls were tight-lipped when it came to forwarding any particulars about the new material.

``It's a mixture,'' said Samantha. ``I think it's just going to be us girls listening and going, what do we want to focus on with the album ... whether we want to go with all the rockier sort of songs, or whether we want traditional country or modern.''
