New Music this Week- May 18, 2026

Lambert pioneered a whole new sound with her first release with MCA, “Crisco.”

It’s a fun mix of all these sides of country music that I’ve never fully explored before, even down to using strings in a bigger way. I almost can’t believe I’ve made this many records without really going there, but it was magical to hear how much strings can transform a song.”
