Miranda Lambert Announces Her First Republic Album, ‘Postcards From Texas,’ and Teases It With a Warning About ‘Alimony’
In revealing a title and tracklist for her first album with Republic Records, Miranda Lambert also unleashed a feisty new track, 'Alimony.'
“Alimony” was co-penned by Lambert with two of country’s most in-demand songwriters, Shane McAnally and Natalie Hemby, as was another track with an obvious Texas theme, “Looking Back on Luckenbach.” “Alimony” is the third track to be released from the new album, albeit the first with the overall project coming more into focus, following the currently charting single “Wranglers” and another album cut, “Dammit Randy.” Lambert talked in a release announcement about how “Alimony” came about, incuding the oft-mentioned fact that “my parents were private investigators in Dallas, Texas who worked a ton of divorce cases in highfalutin’ parts of town, so this wasn’t hard to write. Lambert is one of a very small handful of country artists to be signed directly to Republic (Shania Twain is another), albeit in a deal that utilizes that label’s fruitful relationship with Big Loud Records to market her to her traditional base.
