Miranda Lambert Enters a New Musical Era
Miranda Lambert has entered a fresh phase of her career with Crisco, an album that blends her country roots with disco inspired sounds. Released on October 2, the record reflects a more playful and relaxed side of the singer.
Ella Langley Joins the Album
One of the album’s biggest highlights is “Snakeskin Boots,” featuring rising country star Ella Langley. The track opens Crisco and brings together two artists who have already developed a strong creative partnership.
Lambert also coproduced Langley’s 2026 album Dandelion, which featured the hugely successful “Choosin’ Texas.”
A Retro Sound With a Modern Twist
Crisco draws inspiration from country music’s connection with older pop and disco styles. Lambert uses elements associated with the late 1960s and 1970s while maintaining the storytelling that has defined much of her career.
The album includes 12 tracks covering themes ranging from relationships and heartbreak to freedom, fun and country life.
Why Ella Langley Matters to Lambert
Lambert has described Langley as a rising star and has taken on something of a mentoring role in her career. Their collaboration reflects a growing connection between established country artists and the genre’s newer generation.
Langley’s own Dandelion became a major success in 2026, strengthening her position as one of country music’s emerging names.
Lambert’s Fitness Routine Behind the Music
Away from the studio, Lambert has also spoken about staying fit to support her demanding performance schedule. Her routine includes cardio, Pilates, horseback riding and home strength training.
She has acknowledged that cardio is not her favourite workout, but maintaining fitness helps her prepare for singing and performing on stage.
A More Relaxed Miranda Lambert
Lambert has described this album period as different from some of her earlier releases. Instead of approaching the record with heavy expectations, she has embraced the opportunity to have fun with the music.
That lighter attitude is reflected in Crisco, which combines nostalgia, country storytelling and a more playful musical direction.
A New Chapter for Country Music
With Crisco and her continued collaboration with Ella Langley, Lambert is showing how country music can evolve without losing its identity.
The album’s mix of classic influences, modern production and new-generation collaborations marks another interesting chapter in her long running career.
