THE WEIGHT OF THESE
WINGS (RCA
Records Nashville) the upcoming sixth studio album by Miranda is set to be
released on November 18, 2016. The album will consist of 24 tracks on two
discs, Disc 1–The Nerve, and Disc 2−The Heart.
It’s the first since PLATINUM in
2014 which made a debut in America at #1
on both the Billboard 200 and Billboard Top Country Albums with 179,600
copies sold and made a bow at No.52
on the Official UK Top 100 Chart (1,725 sales; chart week June 14, 2014) then
off the chart
The Weight Of These
Wings lead
single "Vice" (writers: Lambert, Josh Osborne, Shane McAnally) was
first released to country radio on July 18, 2016 with an Impact date of July
25th.
It
debuted at #2 on the Hot Country Songs chart (chart dated Aug 6, 2016) with an opening week
sales of 64,000 copies and 14.6 million audience impressions, becoming her
highest debuting single on that chart, beating the #5 debut of "Somethin' Bad."
After
17 weeks on the chart it currently holds a #10 slot. It also debuted at #18 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart,
besting the No.26 debut of "Automatic" as her highest debut on that
chart. After 17 weeks on the chart “Vice” has peaked at #11
Listen
to the pre-grat track and self penned "We Should Be Friends"
The
enormous 24-song project will include all songs she helped write. Shane McAnally is one of her favorite
co-writers, although Lambert has indicated that she’s written with many, many
people over the last year-and-a-half.
In
August, Lambert described the album in her own words, when she told Billboard: I’m never gonna have an album that’s
quote-unquote a ‘heartbreak album’. Because everybody has bad moments, and then
you come out of it, and you have a great moment, and then you have some somber
times. I want an emotional journey, because that’s what life is, and I want to
document that.
The
sprawling concept album, once threatened by the song-centric demands of the MP3
era, has lately reëmerged as a status symbol for pop stars who can afford to
shirk the demands of old-fashioned hitmaking. If you are Beyoncé, you can
bestow “Lemonade” upon the world unannounced, secure in the knowledge that just
about everyone will eagerly swallow it in one gulp. Lambert is not quite
Beyoncé. But in the context of mainstream country music, which typically
requires fat-free albums packed with potential hits, “The Weight of These
Wings” seems like both a protest against business as usual and a power play:
Lambert is justifiably confident that listeners care enough to follow her
through twenty-four songs, many of them rather contemplative, without a single
big-name guest star....MIRANDA LAMBERT’S
POWER PLAY: The country singer’s
sprawling concept album, “The Weight of These Wings,” defies Nashville
wisdom—and is one of the year’s best releases..Read More at New Yorker.com
