Country music superstar Miranda Lambert has been teasing her fans with the news of her highly anticipated album for months. With her unique sound and poignant lyrics, Lambert has already won the hearts of many country music lovers, and her latest album, as expected, will be yet another deeply personal and creative work. But what got many talking is that she shares a special collaboration with her husband Brendan McLoughlin on one of the songs from the album.
Lambert has said that McLoughlin, a retired NYPD officer, contributed to writing a song on this new album and that, for her, is one of those relationship firsts that feel special. Though Lambert has always written songs from her life and the people in it, having McLoughlin contribute to her writing brings her process to an entirely new level of intimacy. The two, who tied the knot in 2019, have always been known for their close relationship that often saw them feature together both on social media and public events; this is, however, the very first time they have collaborated in the recording studio.
Although she has not announced the full tracklist of album titles, Lambert herself gave some hints as to what her fans should expect. Co-written with McLoughlin, the song in question is a reflective, emotive piece that captures the love and companionship lying at the heart of their relationship. This openness on Lambert’s part in weaving her personal life into her music has always accorded nicely with her fans, and this album looks to continue that tradition.
Miranda Lambert has always been a collaboration type of singer, having worked with everyone from Carrie Underwood to Elle King. Still, the collaboration with McLoughlin feels especially profound in the way McLoughlin offers fans some new insight into the usually guarded Lambert’s life.
This next album will be Lambert’s redo at spontaneously taking her listeners’ hearts through pure storytelling and powerful melodies. The fans hanker for more news of the album, and this single she has written with her husband will no doubt be one of the highly awaited tracks. As the date nears, excitement mounts to another hit from the queen of country music.
