Three-time GRAMMY Award-winning singer-songwriter Miranda Lambert launches a bold new chapter on May 15 with the infectious new song, “Crisco,” marking the first release under her newly announced label partnership with MCA. Pre-save / pre-add HERE.
Blending classic country soul with a shimmering ‘70s disco glow, “Crisco” delivers a feel-good anthem driven by lush strings, jangly piano keys and an irresistible groove, with Lambert leaning into sonic textures she’s long admired yet never fully explored – until now.
“It has so many elements of the country music that I love that I’ve never put on tape,” she shares of the song co-written with Aaron Raitiere, Jesse Frasure and Chill Fellacheck. “There’s a looseness to it, a joy. It feels like dancing in your kitchen with the person you love, spinning old records, not overthinking a thing.”
Written with Lambert’s signature playful wink and anchored in vivid, nostalgic imagery, the song nods to timeless classics like “Southern Nights” and “Islands in the Stream,” bridging generations of country music while expanding its boundaries to carve out something entirely fresh.
As Variety declares, Lambert possesses a “groundedness in the classic sounds and attitudes of country music, which is one thing that has helped make her arguably the most valuable figure in the mainstream of the genre since the turn of the century.” With “Crisco,” she further expands her career that has long been defined by authenticity and evolution, opening the door to her next creative phase.
