Lambert's Crisco: Country meets Disco fearlessly
1 Oct
Summary
- Lambert fearlessly blends country with disco on her 11th album.
- Crisco features a 70s dance-floor sound with pop-savvy production.
- The album explores diverse sounds from spaghetti Western to yacht rock.
Miranda Lambert's latest album, Crisco, marks a bold departure, opening with a spaghetti Western soundscape before diving into a 70s dance-floor vibe. Co-produced with Jesse Frasure, the album fearlessly blends country with disco, as hinted in the title track. While many note the disco influence, labeling Crisco solely as such undersells its adventurous scope, comparing it to Dolly Parton's bold steps.
The 12-track project showcases Lambert's effervescent and adventurous spirit, moving beyond her established country-rock and introspective styles. Tracks like "To Everything" explore themes of letting go with orchestral flourishes, and "Right Where We Left It" pulses with a dance beat. "Sunset Marquis" offers a breezy homage to West Hollywood, while "Whiskey Business" and "Cuttin' Onions" anchor the album with Texas grit.
A notable inclusion is Lambert's gorgeous rendition of Jim Croce's "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song," showcasing her ability to convey emotion through music. The album's opener, "Snakeskin Boots," featuring Ella Langley, adds a unique Western touch, proving that Lambert continues to teach the genre new steps.
