Miranda Lambert continues “Four the Record” Scavenger Hunt with “Dear Diamond,” plans TV appearances for album release
Country music star Miranda Lambert, who lives in Tishomingo, is streaming the “Dear Diamond” today exclusively at Billboard.com as her “Four the Record” Scavenger Hunt and Sweepstakes nears its conclusion.
On Friday, she’s going to be streaming one more track from her forthcoming record, “Four the Record,” due out Nov. 1. Fans can collect badges at the various sites for a chance to win prizes, including a trip to see Lambert in concert. Go to www.MirandaLambert.com for more information.
Lambert started the hunt Monday with “Fastest Girl in Town” streaming at EW.com.
She co-wrote Tuesday’s featured song, the heartbreaking “Over You,” with her husband and fellow country star Blake Shelton. The ballad is about the death of Shelton’s older brother in a car accident. Lambert talked about the experience writing the achingly lovely ode in a recent interview with Ladies’ Home Journal; to read it, click here.
On Wednesday, she unveiled the breezy country-blues ditty “Easy Living.”
The ballad “Dear Diamond” is one of six songs on the 14-track album that Lambert wrote or co-wrote. “Safe” and “Dear Diamond” paint a portrait of both sides of the relationship spectrum. To stream “Dear Diamond,” click here.
In addition to the four songs revealed so far through the scavenger hunt, Lambert has let fans get a listen to the album’s sassy first single “Baggage Claim,” currently ranked No. 4 on the Billboard country songs chart, and the smoking “Mama’s Broken Heart,” which accompanied her recent Hipstamatic print contest. So far, the variety of music on the album has impressed me, and there’s still more to come.
“Four the Record” also will include a duet with Shelton on “Better In The Long Run,” her cover of the Gillian Welch and David Rawlings song “Look At Miss Ohio,” and album closer “Oklahoma Sky,” written for Lambert by her singer-songwriter friend Allison Moorer.
Lambert will do a live Q&A at 3 p.m. Nov. 1 at Billboard.com, and she has several TV appearances planned to promote the album release.
On Nov. 1, she will kick off her album launch week with a performance of “Baggage Claim” on NBC’s “Today” show. On Nov. 2, she will appear on “Live With Regis & Kelly,” where she will be interviewed and perform the song. Lambert and Jeff Bridges will appear on a new episode of “Austin City Limits” premiering at 11 p.m. Nov. 5 on local PBS affiliate OETA-OKLA.
She also will perform on the 45th Annual CMA Awards airing Nov. 9 on ABC.
In addition to her upcoming television performances, Lambert is featured on the cover of the current issues of Billboard Magazine and Ladies Home Journal.
