Lambert, Bridges team up

Wednesday, May 31, 2023 – Miranda Lambert and soul singer Leon Bridges join forces to deliver a duet, with "If You Were Mine" set for release on June 6.

The collaboration produced by Jon Randall sees Lambert and Bridges celebrating the objects of their affection from a distance, contemplating how they would cherish and treasure their beloved if fate ever granted them the opportunity.

"I have been a big fan of Leon for a while because he is very authentic as an artist, and I love his music. I wrote this song with Ashley Monroe and Jesse Frasure, specifically with Leon in mind," said Lambert. "Since we are both from Texas, we threw in a few Texas references, of course – the Frio River being one. When we finished this song, we sent it to Leon in hopes that he would want to collaborate ,and we were so glad that he said yes. I have really enjoyed getting to know him and I'm happy to have him as a new friend."

"I was humbled to have Miranda ask if I'd join her on this beautiful duet she wrote," said Bridges. "Getting in the studio with her in Nashville to sing this song together was magic. There's nothing better than two Texans on one mic."

The release is the first new music from Lambert, who has recently teased "some fun collaborations up my sleeve," since her GRAMMY-nominated album, "Palomino." Lambert subsequently left Sony Music Nashville with no announcement of having signed another record deal.

Lambert also published "Y'all Eat Yet?," weaving in food and her story.

Bridges is currently in the studio working on his fourth LP for Columbia Records while touring throughout the summer and fall.

CD review - Platinum Cynics might think that Miranda Lambert is presumptuous in entitling her fifth disc "Platinum" and, in effect, assuming she'll get her plaque for selling 1 million units. But Lambert says that isn't the case, but more a matter of style, looks and feel. Lambert also wrote and discovered a lot of excellent songs that fit her quite well in an album in which she exposes her inner self as she matures. That may never more apparent than in the country rocker Lambert wrote ...
CD review - Revolution Every once in a while an album comes along that restores your faith in mainstream country music. Miranda Lambert's "Revolution" is just such a recording. It's not revolutionary, as the title might suggest. Instead, this CD is chock full of topnotch songs that are both memorable and sincere and never sound slick or overproduced. (Come to think of it, such old school values as these may in fact be revolutionary around Nashville). Lambert vocalizes a bit like a little girl at ...
CD review - Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Even though it sounds like a cliche from the big book of country songwriting, the truth is that, when the timing's right, a loser can end up being the biggest winner of all. Today's object lesson comes from Miranda Lambert and her sophomore album, the follow-up to her 2005 near-platinum debut, "Kerosene." Imagine for a moment if the then-19-year-old had actually taken the crown in 2003's Nashville Star and then been forced into the studio within weeks to be primped and ...
