Vice – ( The Nerve) – the first single released from the album and the song that invited us into what to expect from The Weight Of These Wings. With 24 remarkable songs, I felt it unnecessary to review them all which, so I’ve selected my current favourites. It’s almost like The Weight Of These Wings is a celebration of the finest songwriters in Nashville and the fact that songwriters are greatly respected and recognised in this genre makes this album even morenote-worthy. As one of the most talented and respected songwriters in Nashville herself, I can’t imagine anyone turning down the opportunity to work with Miranda. It is an endlessly playable album and a timeless, epic work of art.Įach and every writer involved on this album is of such undeniable talent with some of the best writing credits in the industry, that it’s no wonder this album is outstanding. This entire album, for me, was over so soon because I was enjoying it so much that I hadn’t even noticed how much time had passed. Every song is a stand-out track alone and has the ability to be a single. The Weight Of These Wings is a double album divided between ‘ The Nerve’ and ‘ The Heart’, with 24 tracks in total – but you don’t feel like it is overkill. This is proven by the amount of support Miranda has from other artists – from those who co-wrote with her on this album, to those who took to social media on release day to praise her and this album. I read this quote which said, “ Behind every successful woman, is a tribe of other successful women that have her back”.
Miranda returns to her roots with this album and reminds us why women in Country should be celebrated and championed. Sonically, it pulls in elements from every one of her previous albums making it almost incomparable to any one album.
This album has everything from the most traditional country, through the sweetest style of Texan Country to the purest sound of Americana with elements of Folk, Jazz, Blues, church music and even a bit of a American Celtic Punk. No one in the music industry sounds like Miranda vocally, she is truly unique. Miranda brings so much truth and passion to this album, showing us her sensitive and vulnerable side and she delivers powerfully emotional vocals with brutally honest lyrics as well as keeping her crazy, sass, bad ass attitude and female empowerment.
I feel that The Weight Of These Wings will go down in history as one of the best country albums of all time and will undoubtedly be a contender for album of the year at the CMA’s next year and hopefully a Grammy, too. Miranda Lambert has released an honesty driven album that comes from the purest of hearts and the sweetest of souls.
