Postcards from Texas is the upcoming tenth studio album by American country music singer Miranda Lambert. It will be released on September 13, 2024, through a partnership between Republic Records and Big Loud.[1] Its lead single, "Wranglers", was released on May 3, 2024.[2]
Lambert announced the tracklisting for Poscards from Texas on July 24, 2024, via Instagram.[3] Self-described as a musical ode to her home state, Lambert co-produced the album with Jon Randall and recorded it at Arlyn Studios in Austin, Texas.[4] Lambert wrote or co-wrote 10 of the album's 14 tracks.[4] "Santa Fe" features guest vocals from Parker McCollum, and "Living on the Run" was originally recorded by its writer David Allan Coe for his 1976 album, Longhaired Redneck.[5]
"Wranglers" was released as the album's lead single on May 3, 2024.[6] It marked Lambert's first single release since her departure from longtime label home Sony Music Nashville, and subsequently signing a new joint recording deal with Republic Records and Big Loud.[2] She described the move as a "fresh start" and expressed joy in recording a full record in Texas for the first time since her self-titled independent album, released when Lambert was 18.[7]
"Dammit Randy" and "Alimony" were also released as promotional singles ahead of the album.[8] [4] Lambert co-wrote "Dammit Randy" with her husband, Brendan McLoughlin, marking his first songwriting credits.[8] "Alimony" was released alongside the album announcement on July 24, 2024, and inspired by her parents frequently working divorce cases while private investigators in Dallas, Texas.[9] Described as a "shuffle", Lambert co-wrote the song with frequent collaborators Natalie Hemby and Shane McAnally, based around a spin on the phrase "Remember the Alamo".[5] [7]
