Review

Miranda Lambert cranked things up in a major way with her 2016 album, "The Weight of These Wings.” Right off the bat, this daring double album splits into two discs—"The Nerve" and "The Heart"—serving up some seriously raw emotion in every corner. True to Lambert’s bold style, she doesn’t confine herself to pure country roots; you’ll catch everything from gritty roadhouse rock to breezy indie-pop and even slow-burn funk woven throughout the 24-track collection.

A lot of folks connect these songs with her split from Blake Shelton, and tunes like "Pushin' Time" deliver stripped-back, acoustic honesty that really hits home. But this album stretches far beyond heartbreak, with playful lines in "Pink Sunglasses," the indie bounce of "Six Degrees of Separation," and a dynamic cover of Danny O’Keefe’s "Covered Wagon.” "The Weight of These Wings" stands as a fearless, multi-layered record—one that shows Miranda spreading her creative wings with every note and story told. - Bailey
