Miranda Lambert Signs With Republic, With Partner Label Big Loud Set to Handle Country Promotion
After becoming a free agent, Miranda Lambert has signed with Republic Records, in a deal that will have the Big Loud label handling country promotion.
“Music is and always will be the thing that drives me, but having a new home has given me a hunger I didn’t realize I still had inside me,” Lambert said in a statement, noting that “Wranglers” “feels like it could be on the same record as ‘Gunpowder & Lead’ [her first top 10 country hit, in 2008]; it has that same fury. Fans knew that something was up — and an idea of where she was headed — on Monday when Lambert issued a 12-second quick-cut video montage of past hits with the message “Warning: Hell hath no furty like a woman scorned,” along with a phone number to text for future updates. In respective statements, Republic founder-chairman Monte Lipman spoke to their new signee’s strength as “both a consummate storyteller and legendary performer,” while the label’s president-COO, Jim Roppo, enthused about being “at the beginning of a very special moment” as Lambert “puts the final touches on her fantastic new body of work… We’re grateful to be on this journey with her.”
