She’s got like, some moves and she’s like, 20 and I’m 30, so there’s that gap. I’m like, ‘Woah, I need some coffee.’ When she walks in the room, she has so much energy! I was like, ‘Woah, I gotta perk up!’

Mama’s Broken Heart

Single Release0 Comments

The artist releases the single, written by Kacey Musgraves, Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally. Musgraves says the song is about the generational differences between women:

I feel like women in my grandmother’s generation were expected to put on a pretty face, and have dinner on the table, and not really show their crazy sides too much. Now, I feel like it’s a little bit different. Sometimes you just have to let it out, or it’ll just be bad news for everyone. I can relate to the song in that way.

Over You

Single Release0 Comments

Lambert releases the video for the song that she co-wrote with her husband Blake Shelton. The song is about the loss of Shelton’s brother who was killed in a car accident when he was a teenager. Shelton explains what brought the couple to write the single:

Because we were talking about my brother. And that’s how those things should happen, probably. It was really a way of healing, and honoring my brother’s memory. And the fact that people were into the song … that’s a thrill for me.

The House That Built Me

Single Release0 Comments

Lambert releases a single that tells a story about a woman who returns to the steps of her childhood home. In the song, she asks the owner if she may come inside the house for a moment:

Everybody’s had that comfortable home place—or maybe even a person— that made you who you are, but that you can’t ever really go back to. I grew up on an old dairy farm in the country. We had older ladies knock on the door all the time and ask if they could come in because they were raised there, or their husband lived there when they got married… so many different stories. My mom would give them tea, and I’d sit there and listen to them tell the story about our house. And now I know the people that live there. I would be really sad if I could never go back there again… because our dog is buried in the yard, and there are just so many memories. I heard this song and I cried for two hours. When a song hits you like that, you know it’s gonna affect other people the same way.
