Miranda Lambert Releases 'Crisco,' a Country-Disco Turn

A disco-leaning 11th album marks a clear stylistic shift while showcasing Lambert’s growing role as a producer for Ella Langley

Overview

  • Miranda Lambert has released Crisco, her 11th studio album, which leans into country-disco and upbeat, danceable songs rather than her usual fiery breakup material.
  • The record opens with the swaggering duet "Snakeskin Boots," a collaboration with Ella Langley who also co-wrote and appears on the project.
  • Lambert helped write and co-produce Langley’s crossover smash "Choosin’ Texas," which reached multi-platinum status and dominated charts this year, providing commercial momentum for Crisco.
  • This album follows a visible rollout that included an ACM Awards performance and multiple CMA nominations, and reviewers describe the project as a genuine musical exploration rather than a stunt.
  • Lambert’s recent work as a co-producer on Langley’s Dandelion and her songwriting with artists like Chris Stapleton point to a career shift toward mentoring and producing in addition to performing.
