Miranda Lambert recently released Postcard from Texasand the country star revealed why she decided to return to her Texas roots for this album. Discover her favorite songs from the new record, her friendship with Lainey Wilson, why country music shines so brightly now and more!
Jason Lipshutz: I'm so excited for this album in particular. It feels like a new chapter for you, in terms of, you know, new music and kind of new album and new label and just like, a new presentation. Like, how do you feel on the eve of the release?
Miranda Lambert: It just feels that way. I mean, I came back to Texas to make this record on purpose. I hadn't made a record in Texas since I was 18, and this was my first little independent studio album, but it was the beginning of a journey and it was the beginning of putting it on tape, like all the inspiration I had gathered up to that point . So I felt like I want to do it again. I want that same fire and I want to come home and draw on all the inspiration I've used over the last two decades in this business. But it all started at home for me, so I felt it was the right thing to do at this stage in my life.
And I have a new team, a new label, Republic, and they lead with art. That makes me so excited because that's what I've always done, but you don't always have the support every time with a team that leads the art, so that was, it lit a new fire for me, really.
Stay tuned for more!
