Miranda Lambert Loves That “Old Country Vibe”
Speaking with Country Living about their collaboration, Lambert found it second nature to work with Stapleton. “Chris is great at everything he does, and I love his voice and artistry. We wrote this particular song with Jesse Frasure and Jenee Fleenor a while back, and we had such a great day writing it. We got Dave Cobb to produce the track; both Chris and I had worked with him before, so it was a no-brainer.”
Outside of Lambert showering Stapleton with praise, she also saw “A Song to Sing” as a tribute to the ones she loved. “The song has a very nostalgic, retro feel for me, just like the old country vibe I love. I was really excited about the thought of sharing it with our fans because it was something so different for both of us. It honors the ones you love, and it’s a summer jam!”
Besides Lambert’s thoughts on the song, fans seemed to agree. Releasing the song on YouTube, fans praised it for being an “instant classic.” “Lordy Lordy my heart is beating a mile a minute this song is pure magic. Miranda is my queen. And Chris I think he must be my king now.” Deemed royalty amongst fans, the comments continued to pile up. “Great collab! New summer hit on the way to #1. Such ‘Easy’ listening with a total 70’s -80’s vibe! Great job guys!!!”
While the summer may be winding down, for Lambert and Stapleton, the heat was just kicking in
