Carlton announced her pregnancy in June on her Instagram. The impending birth delayed the release of her next album "Liberman," which will drop later this year. "I can now reveal the reason as to why Liberman will not be released until next summer. See the picture below. No, those aren't a bunch of croissants. We're expecting a baby. It's healthy and moving around like a champ. I'm bummed to delay the album because it's so special to me and the perfect combination of England and Tennessee. When I put the record on it feels like medicine. I hope it does the same for you...in due time!" she wrote on her Facebook on June 26.

The "Ordinary Day" singer first got pregnant in the fall of 2013, but suffered an ectopic or fallopian pregnancy. The embryo settled on her fallopian tube creating a non-viable pregnancy. The tube later ruptured causing internal bleeding and she had the entire right fallopian tube removed.
The successful surgery kept the other tube and her ovaries healthy and viable to produce another child.
A month after losing their first child, Carlton and McCauley married in a ceremony officiated by Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks.
