NPR’s “most accomplished and consistently great artist in contemporary country music” Miranda Lambert continues the creative streak around her latest critically acclaimed album, Postcards from Texas, with the release of a humorous new lyric video for fan-favorite track “Armadillo.” The video, a colorful celebration of Lambert’s signature blend of humor and raw Texas spirit, was created by cutting-edge artist Ceci Mulia who expands on Lambert’s knack for vivid storytelling with a playful twist. Watch below.
Lambert previously collaborated with Mulia on the popular lyric video for fellow Postcards from Texas track “Alimony,” released earlier this summer. Together, Mulia and Lambert have created a visual storyline that cleverly bridges the themes of both “Alimony” and “Armadillo.” The two distinct songs are united by Mulia’s imaginative style and ability to blend humor, surrealism and a distinct visual flair, capturing the essence of Lambert’s Texas-rooted tales, bringing the tracks’ characters and plots to life in a way that’s as witty as the music itself.
Both “Armadillo,” celebrated by Billboard as a “quirky, freewheeling tale [with] toggling pace and unabashedly country storyarc,” and “Alimony,” which the Associated Press praises as “such a rewarding lyric reversal, it feels almost prototypical – as if plucked from some great country music songbook instead of written into it,” serve to represent Lambert’s trademark sense of humor on the wide-ranging Postcards from Texas, which arrived earlier this fall via Republic Records. The album, lauded by Paste as “the best major-label country album of 2024,” continued her unbeaten streak of 10 consecutive Top 10s on the Top Country Albums chart.
