The next song from her disco era. Miranda Lambert is taking her music in a very different direction, and as she continues to tease new music with her new label MCA, marking a new chapter in her decorated recording career, it looks like we’re going to be getting a full-on country and disco album. She announced that a new tune called “Till the Going’s Gone” will be out everywhere this Friday, June 26th: View this post on Instagram Miranda previously released a disco-inspired song called “Crisco,” which was the first taste of where her muse has taken her, saying she wanted it to feel “nostalgic” and fun, adding that it was a unique challenge to make a song that was “familiar” and “Fresh” at the same time, and of course, she was deeply inspired by the likes of  Glen Campbell, Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers and that 70s and 80s time when those artists in particular were fusing in a lot of disco: “We wanted something that feels familiar but also fresh, which is really hard to do. We leaned into all the things I grew up loving about country music – Glen Campbell, Kenny and Dolly; very ’70s and ’80s. It’s a fun mix of all these sides of country music that I’ve never fully explored before, even down to using strings in a bigger way. I almost can’t believe I’ve made this many records without really going there, but it was magical to hear how much strings can transform a song.” I love 70s and 80s-era music of any kind, and really any genre, so I love that she’s playing with that here. From iconic songs like “Southern Nights” and of course “Islands in the Stream,” it’s nothing new for disco to be part of country. I mean, who could forget the whole Urban Cowboy scene? But I’m here for it because Miranda is the kind of artist who can do it and do it well. It won’t be for everybody, but I can appreciate her trying something new and going in a different direction with this new chapter. Miranda teamed up with Chris Stapleton for a very disco-inspired duet called “A Song To Sing” last year, which seems to have been a hint about what she had up her sleeve, and the teaser for “Till The Going’s Gone” is certainly very disco too. The lyrics find her encouraging the listener to chase their dreams, make mistakes, and do it until they get it right, or at least get it out of their system: “Sometimes your tires are in the mud, Sometimes your car’s run out of luck, Honey, you don’t have to live this way, Just find another exit and  learn another lesson That’s why the good Lord made the interstate Yeah, I gotta keep moving Gotta keep groovin’ Cause that song’s that’s in my soul will carry me on down the road I gotta keep going Till the going’s gone Till it’s gone, gone, gone” It’s not the most complex song in the world, but like I said, I can appreciate her trying something new and when country and disco is done right, as is proven by the aforementioned examples, it can be absolutely incredible, and Miranda has more than earned her right to experiment, so we’ll see what she has up her sleeve because you never really know with her and that’s what makes it so fun to be a fan.
