Lambert signs with Republic; new single coming
The deal will include support from Big Loud, including country radio promotion as well as other marketing efforts.
Lambert will release the song "Wranglers" on May 3, her first new solo music since 2022's "Palomino."
Lambert had spent her entire career on Sony Music Nashville prior to her decision to leave the label last year.
"'Wranglers' is a tale of a woman taking her power back. I think we can all identify with the character in this song, because we have all had a time in our life that we needed to find a way to find our strength and also get a little revenge on someone that did us wrong or hurt us."
"Music is and always will be the thing that drives me, but having a new home has given me a hunger I didn't realize I still had inside me. This song feels like it could be on the same record as 'Gunpowder & Lead'; it has that same fury. I can't wait to get out there with this new label and this new music. Monte Lipman and his team fire me up."
"Miranda Lambert's legacy as both a consummate storyteller and legendary performer speaks for itself. Her new music is spectacular ,and we are thrilled and honored to welcome her to Republic Records in partnership with Big Loud," said Republic founder and Chairman, Monte Lipman.
Last November, Lambert and Jon Randall announced a strategic partnership with Seth England and Big Loud Records, launching imprint Big Loud Texas.
"Being in Texas with Jon, recording where I cut my teeth as a young artist, felt like coming home. I thought about the women – and men – who've lived, loved and found power in my music, and I wanted to get back to the root of those spaces," Lambert said. "Talking to Monte, Avery Lipman and the team at Republic, as well as Seth and the Big Loud folks who are leaning in, everyone understood my desires and vision for this next era of my music. Aligning like that is empowering; it gives you a license to really chase it. Signing with Republic has inspired me to find the sweet spot for me and all the people like me. I can't wait for everyone to hear 'Wranglers,' and the rest of this record."
