Miranda Lambert Says She’s ‘Decided to Say Goodbye to My Sony Family’ After 18-Year Run
, the company she’s been with since the beginning of her almost two-decade recording career. She did not say where she might be landing after her departure — only that she “can’t wait” to see what comes next.. “Over the last 20 years together we have released albums that allowed me to share my story with the world, and we’ve reached heights I’d never even dreamed were possible.
“I’m so thankful for our time together and everything they made possible for me,” Lambert continued, “yet I wouldn’t be true to myself if I wasn’t constantly looking for the next challenge and a new way to stretch my creativity. With that in mind, I’ve decided to say goodbye to my Sony family. I can’t wait to see what the next adventure holds.”
Lambert posting that she needed a new home in which to stretch her creativity may come as a surprise to some industry observers and fans, since Sony Nashville has been known in years past for allowing the singer-songwriter her freedom, as one of the biggest and most celebrated stars in country music.
That was most evident in her 2016 double-album, “The Weight of These Wings,” which won her some of the best reviews of her career, as well as a CMA nomination and ACMs album of the year win, despite not producing the hit singles to which she had become accustomed. She followed that with a more commercial album, 2019’s “Wildcard,” which had her landing a No. 1 on the country airplay chart with “Bluebird.
Lambert’s major-label debut album, “Kerosene,” came out in 2005 and immediately established her as one of country’s rising stars. Her second and third albums, “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” and “Revolution,” both went double-platinum and brought her to new heights, with the latter album’s “The House That Built Me” in 2010 becoming her first No. 1 airplay single. Altogether she has had four Billboard No. 1s and 12 songs that reached the top 10.
