Miranda Lambert Announces Tenth Album ‘Crisco,’ Releases ‘Till The Going’s Gone’

Miranda Lambert’s tenth solo album, Crisco, will be released October 2 on MCA. The 12-track project finds Lambert co-producing with Jesse Frasure and writing alongside longtime collaborators like Ashley Monroe.

The announcement caps a year in which Lambert’s presence has been felt far beyond her own records. She co-wrote and sang on Ella Langley’s crossover hit “Choosin’ Texas,” and shared the stage—and a studio—with Kacey Musgraves on “Horses And Divorces,” finally putting to rest one of country music’s quietest feuds.

Lambert has already shared two previews of Crisco: the title track and the Chris Stapleton duet “A Song To Sing.” Today’s offering, “Till The Going’s Gone,” is a restrained, soft-spoken reflection on leaving—co-written with Frasure, Natalie Hemby, Josh Osborne, and Brendan McLoughlin. Its pace and patience don’t announce themselves loudly, which, for Lambert, has become a kind of signature ease.

No fireworks here, just another entry from an artist who’s spent two decades refining the art of not overdoing it.
