Miranda & Carrie find trouble in "Somethin' Bad"

The queens of Country music stars Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood amp up the sex appeal and wowed us with their stunningly dark appearances in their newest rowdy video for their first-ever girl-power duet, "Somethin' Bad," the second single off Lambert's newly released fifth studio album, "Platinum," which dropped June 3rd. The duo sport a variety of steaming looks including brunette hair as they team up to rob a bank, play high stakes poker and ultimately, get arrested.
"I'd wanted to record a song with Carrie for awhile but I just couldn't find the right one. 'Somethin' Bad' was originally written as a guy-girl duet but when I heard it I knew it was the perfect song. It's a meshing of our style," Lambert told Us Weekly of the hit, which is heating things up online, much as the single has done on country radio - not surprising given the individual firepower of the two country stars.
Lambert has said she pitched the song to Underwood by email, even though she was incredibly nervous about asking her to sing on it. No need to worry, though. Underwood readily agreed. In press materials for "Platinum," Lambert stated, "I'm a huge fan of Carrie Underwood. She's such a badass singer... To me, this song meshes our styles, you know? It gives her time to be 'Before He Cheats' Carrie, and it gives me time to take off running and jump to hit some of those high notes." It's been 9 years since Lambert set fire to her cheating boyfriend's house in "Kerosene," and it's been 8 years since Underwood swung a baseball bat at her boyfriend's car in "Before He Cheats." The country queens teamed up for "Somethin' Bad," and they're still causing trouble!
Set in a prison, the Trey Fanjoy-directed video sees Lambert, 30, plays Belle Boyd, and Underwood, 31, plays Priscilla Parker, a couple of jewel-thieving, poker-playing, motorcycle-riding troublemakers, as they go on a Thelma and Louise-like bad-girl escapade involving a bank caper, a high-stakes card game and a side-by-side motorcycle ride out of town. Throughout the 2:53-long music video, the blonds stand side by side wearing slightly different smoky eye looks, and model a variety of disguises to pull off the jewel heist.

Miranda Lambert debuts "Mama's Broken Heart"

Miranda Lambert continues her blood-thirsty revenge streak, sharpens her acting skills and goes off the deep end in the brand-new video for "Mama's Broken Heart," the fourth single from Lambert's fourth studio album, "Four the Record." The famously fiery songstress is known for going off the rails in her songs and videos, but she reaches new heights in this particular clip, both visually and dramatically. Of course, that's exactly what we expect her to do, because her latest single, "Mama’s Broken Heart," is all about going crazy in the wake of a breakup.
Lambert has built a calculated image as country music pistol-packing bad girl, but that image works best when it's not beating us over the head a la "Fastest Girl In Town." When she's mercurial, she's magic. The 29-year-old calls "Mama's Broken Heart," is the one song she couldn't live without on the album. "The reason I love this song is because it's about how sometimes when you get your heart broken, you kinda go a little bit crazy," Lambert confessed of the moderate uptempo tune, which was penned by fellow Texan Kacey Musgraves with Shane McAnally and Brandy Clark, and it tells the story of all the things you do too much to get through the pain of heartbreak.
The lyric details this scorned woman's self-destructive means of catharsis, while wisely leaving her ultimate revenge for the listener to imagine. The song's female narrator acts out as she struggles with a break-up, which leads people to begin taking notice of her behavior. When her mother finds out, she responds by scolding her daughter and telling her to regain her composure. The narrator scarifies her spotless reputation in favor of revenge, which is in contrast with the way her mother's generation handled such situations, but ultimately she takes matters into her own hands because "[it isn't] her mama's broken heart." The song courses through the Texan's veins, and Lambert's vocal delivery is sharp, clear and poignant.
Lambert portrays her best Stepford Wife in the beginning of the Trey Fanjoy-directed what looks a 1960's-era clip, perfectly coiffed and gowned in a wealthy home, but quickly degenerates into a reasonable facsimile of Courtney Love, as she handles her heartbreak with ripped fishnets, bouffant hair, crying drunk, smoking in the bathtub, gleefully eying a kitchen knife, smeared makeup, and gardening shears - the action happens in rapid cuts as Lambert dabbles in all those things and displays a pitch-perfect balance of humor with drama in the clip,  and you can watch it below and see how she hides her crazy!

Miranda Lambert Gets Somber In "Over You"

Miranda Lambert pays tribute to her husband Blake Shelton's late brother with a lovely music video to her emotional new single "Over You," the second single from her 2011 album "Four the Record." Lambert looks positively regal in her first music video in more than a year. Donning a vintage dress and a riding coat that look to be from the 1920s, the country star to let nature help tell the story and bring to life the lyrics of her tearjerking new single, "Over You," is her most personal yet.
The Genesis of the country ballad song was when Lambert and Shelton were flipping through TV channels on a tour bus, and listened to his father talking about his older brother Richie's fatal crash, and was killed instantly in 1990. Lambert penned this poignant cut with Shelton. Though Shelton knew the song would be too hard for him to sing every night in an arena, Lambert adopted it as her own and beautifully tells her husband's story with the lyrically raw tune.
"That's the only time I've ever gotten that emotional writing a song, and him, too," said Lambert. "So, I think the initial emotion came out right that day, and I think you hear it in the lyrics." Lambert's emotions run the gamut from choking back tears to smiling at a new friend who used to be in the circus! "You know I cry every time I listen to it," Lambert said. "I think that's the most personal song that as a couple we’ve ever put out. I love that song, and I feel like it's time for me to show I have that side of me that's vulnerable and hurting for someone else."
Shoot on location among the Cedars of Lebanon in Tennessee, the clip, directed by Trey Fanjoy, is a very emotional piece fitting of the song's deep meaning. The video, fittingly, is somber, a stroll through memory and shows Lambert walking through a wooded area during a light snow, before coming to a set of gravestones, where she proceeds to grieve over the loss of her loved one. Two little boys are playing together around her, likely symbolic of Blake and Richie, when one disappears. A beautiful white horse then joins Lambert on her walk which ends in an old cemetery where she grieves her loss. Pay close attention to the tombstones at the end for a special tribute to the Shelton family.

Miranda Lambert Dropped "Only Prettier" Video

Country artist Miranda Lambert, the twangy, ultimate mean-girl comeback and dropped a 1950s-inspired video for her sassy anthem new single, "Only Prettier," the fourth single from her ACM Album of the Year "Revolution," and She chose Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott, Kellie Pickler and newcomer Laura Bell Bundy for this mini-movie features the artists dressed up as rival "socials" and "greasers" at a high school sock hop. The four sharp-mouthed singer's best girl friends played two rival cliques of girls, one group is prim and proper; the other is bad and looking for trouble.
"Only Prettier," co-written by Lambert and Natalie Hemby, is an up-tempo song, backed by electric and steel guitars and percussion. The song's female narrator, a typical rough-and-rowdy country girl, finds herself facing off with a stereotypical model-thin city girl. Lambert relates to the song as her own anthem: "It’s antagonistic in a fun way, and I loved the attitude behind it. It kind of fools you, because it’s got this really country, laid-back intro, but then it’s balls-to-the-wall the rest of the way. It’s so much fun!" Laying on her thick Texas twang, Lambert's voice cuts through a thick fog of smoke and catty comments. once again, Lambert has bent the iron-clad rules of radio to bring us sharp material like this.
Lambert straps her guitar and performs as a house band in Trey Fanjoy-directed video, which was shot against a 1950's rockabilly backdrop at a middle school gymnasium in Joelton, Tennessee in June. The girls play "two rival cliques of girls" when walking into a high school sock hop, but put aside their difference at the end of the party, and the party is over. "To me, 'Only Prettier' is an anthem," Lambert said. "It's my own anthem, and I want girls to have their fists in the air singing 'Only Prettier.' It's antagonistic, in a fun way, and I loved the attitude behind it. It kind of fools you, because it's got this really country, laid-back intro, but then it's balls to the wall the rest of the way." The part of what makes country music is great is that it doesn't take itself too seriously, and this video is no exception.
What makes "Prettier" so smart is that it owns up to the insecurities of young girls, including her own, while admitting how silly they really are. Lambert's hard-earned lesson seems like a winning strategy for rising Nashville stars, but it's also sound advice for the next time her friends brace for a collision with their barroom rivals. Lambert, a three-time Grammy nominee, platinum-selling recording artist, amid the growing buzz surrounding her career, remains convincing as a country outlaw, and that's a testament to her enormous talent.
