Miranda Lambert recently released Postcards from Texas, and the country star has 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 is shining so brightly now and more!
Jason Lipshutz: I’m so excited for this album in particular. Does it feel like kind of a new chapter for you, in terms of, you know, new music and kind of new album and new label and just like, kind of new presentation. Like, how does it feel on the eve of release?
Miranda Lambert: It feels exactly like that. I mean, I went back home to Texas to make this record on purpose. I hadn’t made a record in Texas since I was 18, and that was my very first little independent studio album, but it was the starting of a journey, and it was the starting of putting it on tape, like all the inspiration that I had gathered up until that point. So I felt like I want to do that again. I want that same fire, and I want to go back home and sort of pull from all the inspiration that I’ve used for the last two decades in this business. But it all started at home for me, so I just felt like that was the right thing to do at this point in my life.
And I do 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 with art, so this has been, just kind of lit a new fire for me, really.
Keep watching for more!
