Miranda Lambert shares new song with Enrique Iglesias, “Space In My Heart,” out now, February 23rd, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new track below.
It is always exciting when country artists get to crossover and collaborate with an artist from a different genre. We have seen the success of cross-genre hits time and time again; however, this one may be the most surprising to date (in the best way). Country superstar Miranda Lambert is joining forces with Latin pop-star, Enrique Iglesias on a new song for his upcoming album. Their collaboration is a song called “Space In My Heart.”
The beautiful new track is an exquisite love song. The tune shows off the best parts of both artists’ voices, as well as, their ability to convey emotions through song. “Space In My Heart” depicts how it feels to feel like you have found your person. Lambert and Iglesias take turns singing lyrics; however, in the chorus the two artists get to meld their sounds. Somehow, their voices seem to blend and balance each other’s beautifully.
“You don’t love me yet, but I know you will // If you only felt half of what I feel // If you ever go, I will never change // There’s a space in my heart and it’s just your shape”
“Space In My Heart” is one of the most intriguing cross-genre songs in recent years. Both Lambert and Iglesias gave their heart to this song!

Here is the 56th Annual CMA Awards recap featuring big wins by country superstars Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson, and more.
The 56th Annual CMA Awards took place last night (November 9th), returning to the iconic Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. Hosted by Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning, this show was all about uniting fans and country artists with our favorite music genre and honoring the greats that paved the way. For a full list of all of the nominations and winners, click here.
The show began with a medley of hits, celebrating the late, great Loretta Lynn. Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, and Reba McEntire took to the stage delivering an incredible performance of Lynn’s classics like, “You’re Looking at Country” and “Coal Miner’s Daughter.” Carly Pearce also honored Lynn with her incredible song, “Dear Miss Loretta,” later in the show.
Shortly after, the CMA’s hosted another incredible female-led performance of Ashley McBryde’s killer album Lindeville. Artists like John Osborne, Brandy Clark, Caylee Hammack, and Pillbox Patti joined her on stage.
With a quick introduction, first-time CMA awards winner for Video of the Year, Cody Johnson graced the stage next, singing an electric rendition of his hit song, “‘Til You Can’t.” Similarly, Cole Swindell took to the stage to sing his latest number-one hit, “She Had Me At Heads Carolina.” Of course, he brought out Jo Dee Messina to sing with him. Lambert also returned to sing her new song, “Geraldene” and Underwood with, “Hate My Heart.”
The star-studded event continued with a killer performance from Luke Combs. The Entertainer of the Year nominee blew fans away, singing his song, “The Kind of Love We Make.” The other Luke, Luke Bryan also performed his current single, “Country On” later on in the show. The night continued with performances by Zac Brown Band, who sang their song “Out In The Middle” and an exciting duet by Thomas Rhett and Katy Perry. The latter duo sang their new song, “Where We Started,” a country-pop medley, begging for radio play.
However, HARDY and Lainey Wilson may have given arguably one of the best performances of the night with their song “wait in the truck.” The eerie ballad came to life, as the two New Artist of the Year nominees sang their hearts out, receiving a huge applause and standing ovation from the audience. Next up, Morgan Wallen, an Entertainer of the Year nominee, also showed up to perform his hit song, “You Proof.”
The CMA Awards continued to showcase collaborations throughout the night. Kelly Clarkson and Carly Pearce joined Kelsea Ballerini on stage to sing “YOU’RE DRUNK, GO HOME.” The threesome brought their sassy energy and huge vocal chops to the country music stage.
Another highlight of the night is when Chris and Morgane Stapleton took the stage with none other than the iconic, Patty Loveless. An incredibly harrowing performance, the collaborators sang Loveless’ “You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive,” getting each and every artist on their feet celebrating the performance with them.
Country music artists continued to celebrate the icons that came before them both in and out of the genre. Brothers Osborne took the stage with The War and Treaty to celebrate the forthcoming tribute album, Stoned Cold Country for The Rolling Stones, coming in 2023, while Elle King joined by The Black Keys and celebrated the late hall of fame, Jerry Lee Lewis.
Of course, the night would not be complete without the monumental tribute to Alan Jackson, who was the newest recipient of the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award. Carrie Underwood strutted onto the stage to announce the icon, even singing a little something. Dierks Bentley, Jon Pardi, and Lainey Wilson shared the stage to celebrate Jackson’s career. They sang songs like, “Chattahoochee,” “Drive (For Daddy Gene),” and “Chasin’ That Neon Rainbow.” Jackson, himself also sang his song, “Don’t Rock The Jukebox.”
Overall the 56th CMA Awards were a great night for country music. The show came back to its roots, mixing the new country music sounds with more traditional country, proving that we can all love the genre together.

One of the best things about country songs is the way they make us feel. Here are 10 songs you need to listen to that will boost your mood!
“Whiskey Glasses” – Morgan Wallen
This melancholy jam starts any party. As do many of Wallen’s song, this just happens to one of the classics!
“I Was On a Boat That Day” – Old Dominion
Old Dominion songs are perfect for the summer, but this single, “I Was On a Boat That Day” is one of our current favorites. Blast this all summer long!
“Little Red Wagon”- Miranda Lambert
This playlist is not complete without Lambert’s killer song “Little Red Wagon.” You can not tell us you don’t feel sassy as hell when you sing this song.
“Before He Cheats” – Carrie Underwood
Echoing the statements from the Miranda Lambert song, this Carrie Underwood classic is another tune that is full of sass. Everyone loves singing it!
“Song About You” – Sam Grow
This Sam Grow song was recommended by one of our readers on Facebook. We agree that the song will for sure boost your mood.
“Chicken Fried” – Zac Brown Band
Every music lover is obsessed with this song, even if they do not admit it. “Chicken Fried” is fun bottled up in a feel-good song.
“Good Time” – Niko Moon
The title of this song does not disappoint! Niko Moon’s number one single is a bop and a jam all at the same time.
“AA” – Walker Hayes
Lately, Walker Hayes has been cranking out hit after hit. “AA” is another one of his catchy tunes that you cannot help but jam to.
“Does to Me” – Luke Combs ft. Eric Church
When two superstars combine, you know that it is going to be an incredible song. Luke Combs and Eric Church’s “Does to Me” definitely fits the bill.

Miranda Lambert’s brand new album, Palomino is out now, April 29th on all streaming platforms. Take a listen and read our full review below.
Out today, April 29, Miranda Lambert’s Palomino is a welcomed breath of fresh air. The fifteen track collection shows Lambert doing what she does best. She’s authentically herself, exploring different sounds and topics in a way that never feels fraudulent or forced. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Here, she co-wrote all but one track, enlisting frequent collaborators including Luke Dick, Jon Randall, and Natalie Hemby to take listeners on a uniquely magical journey.
On her eighth studio album, the singer-songwriter is fully in her element. The album is definitely more of the rootsy, no-frills Lambert that was evidenced on 2021’s The Marfa Tapes, as opposed to the glitz and glamor from the days of “Little Red Wagon.” Palomino is a mature and cohesive offering, sure to delight fans and non-fans alike.
“The making of this record has been one of the most fun and creative experiences of my career,” reflects Lambert in a statement. “…The first one we wrote was ‘Tourist’ and that set us on a path to create something with a bit of a theme. Since we couldn’t travel at the time, we decided to go on a journey through songs… I hope y’all are ready to travel with us wandering spirits and meet some cool characters with great stories.”
On that inspired track, Lambert takes on the role of the tourist, wandering aimlessly with no place to go. “I’m just a tourist // I don’t know where I belong // It might sound foolish // Yeah, but nowhere feels like home // So I roam from town to town // Taking snapshots of the world // And I laugh away the lonely // And give a local bar a whirl // And I wanna see it all so I keep movin’ // I’m just a tourist.”
Throughout Palomino, listeners will meet an array of characters, including “Geraldene” on the earwormy song of the same name, one of the album’s surefire hits. “Music City Queen” features the B-52s and introduces listeners to another array of unique souls, punctuated by a recognizable piano solo. Likewise, despite being the sole song on the album not written by Lambert, the Mick Jagger cover of “Wandering Spirit” is a clear standout coming right at the album’s midpoint. Joined by the McCrary Sisters, Lambert explores Gospel-twinged country, her wandering spirit seemingly inspired by something divine.
The twangy “Scenes” is the perfect example of the premise of the album, Lambert doing “anything to forget about you.” She’s moving from scene to scene here, meeting the likes of Dwayne and Katie with a K, as she tries to ban an ex from her memory. Meanwhile, the twangy “I’ll Be Loving You” finds Lambert admitting that “I’ll be loving you, No matter where I roam.”
Interestingly, “In His Arms,” “Geraldene,” and “Waxahachie” all make second, slightly updated appearances, after originally being released on the aforementioned Marfa Tapes record. Yet, they fit in perfectly here.
While Lambert takes sonic and lyrical risks on Palomino, she never strays too far from what has endeared her to the country genre since the earliest days of her career. This is evidenced on tracks such as the feisty “Actin’ Up,” the tongue-in-cheek “Country Money,” and nostalgic “If I Was a Cowboy.” Another highlight is “That’s What Makes the Jukebox Play,” finding the singer-songwriter in the narrator role as she observes the goings-on in a bar, and how they inspire the music found in a jukebox. It’s a poignant and moving take that can’t be ignored.
The album ends on a magical moment, with the ethereal and sparse “Carousel,” finding Lambert grappling with the fact that all good things must end. “Every show must end // Every circus leaves town // You don’t know the magic’s gone // Until the lights go down.”
Miranda Lambert’s Palomino is a concise and compelling piece of art, finding the Texan songstress experimenting with new sounds and coloring outside the musical lines as she takes listeners on a journey. Lambert has always excelled at being a bit of a rebel, and she does it here, but in the best way possible. She isn’t chasing trends or hits, but remaining true to her musical passions and desires.

Elle King and Miranda Lambert’s duet “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home),” officially goes number one at country radio this week. Check out the #1 song here…
Just under a year ago, an unexpected pairing took to the stage at the 56th Academy of Country Music Awards. The duo was none other than Elle King and Miranda Lambert. The dynamic entertainers burst onto the stage with their new song, “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home).” The song quickly became a hit with fans, and radio caught on quickly. This week, the single is the number one song at country radio.
The platinum-selling single is arguably one of the best country music collaborations to date. “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home” showcases the incredible voices, sass, and intellect that both King and Lambert possess. The duet partners even took home the coveted ACM award for Video of the Year last month. We can only hope that King and Lambert continue to make music together going forward.
“So bartender, take my keys // What do you want from me? // Baby, I’m drunk, and I don’t wanna go home // Not staying in to fight // I’m staying out all night// Baby, I’m drunk, and I don’t wanna go home”
Congrats to King and Lambert on an incredible feat. “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home) definitely deserved to snag the number one spot on the country charts this week!

Miranda Lambert’s latest new song, “Actin’ Up,” is out now, April 8th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new song below.
Miranda Lambert and her fans have had a lot to be excited about recently. In the past month, the singer-songwriter from Texas picked up her first Entertainer of the Year award at the ACMs, announced her upcoming project Palomino, and her ‘Velvet Rodeo’ residency at the Zappos Theater in Las Vegas. Today (April 8), she debuted a brand-new track off Palomino, “Actin’ Up.”
Written with Luke Dick and her good friend and collaborator, Jon Randall, Lambert describes her lifestyle in this sassy and self-confident southern rock anthem. Although this behavior might cause one to think she’s “acting up” or out of character, she explains her true passions and dreams. Lambert references several pop-culture icons including Elvis Presley, Tiger Woods, Billy Idol, and Will Ferrell’s movie character, Ricky Bobby from Talladega Nights. Sonically, this song has a nice rhythm and flow to it, and mixed with the fun and clever wordplay, it is a very catchy tune.
“I want a sunset ride // A velvet rodeo // A Colorado high // A California glow // I want to see the desert // From a painted palomino // Senorita need to have a little fun // I’m actin’ up”
“Actin’ Up” is the third song released on Palomina so far; “Strange” came out on March 15 and her radio single, “If I Was A Cowboy,” currently sits at number seventeen on the charts. Her collaboration with Elle King, “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home)” is in the number three spot.
Lambert will be on the road this summer with Little Big Town on their Bandwagon Tour starting in May. The tour hits the Tri-State Area June 9-11 at Jones Beach Theater, PNC Bank Arts Center, and BB&T Pavilion, respectively. Her Las Vegas residency begins in September and will run for 24-shows until April 29, 2023. For tickets, head to her website.

Newly crowned ACM Awards Entertainer of the Year, Miranda Lambert has a lot to celebrate! On the heels of her win, the singer-songwriter announces her next studio album, Palomina. The new record is slated for release on April 29th. To celebrate the announcement, Lambert also dropped a brand new song, “Strange,” out now.
Fans can expect the record to encompass bits and pieces from her previous ones, as she yearns to explore the world and the people in it on Palomina. Utilizing intellectual and whimsical approaches, Lambert is sharing her perspective through song. “The making of this record has been one of the most fun and creative experiences of my career,” shared the songstress. “Since we couldn’t travel at the time, we decided to go on a journey through songs. I hope y’all are ready to travel with us wandering spirits and meet some cool characters with great stories.”
“Have a smoke, buy a round // Get on a jetliner going anywhere bound // Pick a string, sing the blues // Dance a hole in your shoes // Do anything to keep you sane // ‘Cause times like these make me feel strange // Times like these make me feel strange”
The new song, “Strange” gives us all a taste of that traveling-spirit. The song depicts what it’s like not to know what to do and the feeling of being a bit lost. Despite the somber nature of the theme, the song is both fun and creative. Palomina is looking like a record for the books. Check back here on April 29th for a full review of the new album.
