That cover is hot and Bluebird is nice. She's 4/4! Hope the rest of the album delivers!

Think bluebird is my favorite of the pre-release songs. Looking st iTunes “mess” maybe should’ve been the lead single. Although wash is doing well at radio.

"Bluebird" is fantastic.
I know many on here liked her last (double) album but for me it was really just 23 lullabies and one classic Miranda jam ("Highway Vagabond") so I cannot overstate how exciting this new material is. There is a crispness and freshness to the sound and the producer swap is going to be the right move for her. This sounds like it may be a strong collection of songs throughout just like Revolution was, and a duet with Maren Morris? Sign me the heck up!
I have not been this excited for a project (other than Taylor) in quite some time.

For me, so far I'd rank them:
1. It All Comes Out in the Wash 2. Mess with My Head 3. Bluebird 4. Locomotive
All great though. I think "Wash" was the best lead single option out of these because it sounds like classic Miranda, but "Mess with My Head" would probably be a great second or third single for her. Leading with it might've been a little risky since it's like nothing she's really done before, but musically it has a Maren/Kelsea vibe to it and I imagine for those reasons it would go over well for her.

I really like Bluebird. Major step in the right direction for me after not really loving "Mess with My Head".

Bluebird is easily my favorite of the 4 so far, by a lot.

Really cute music video!
She looks so good (especially on the scenes with the pink guitar) and they did a great job at capturing the cheery vibe of the song.

What a great music video! She looks amazing throughout; you can really see that she's in a happier place watching this video than where she was at with her last album era, and I'm glad to see it. Love all of her looks, especially the scenes at the car wash where she's either performing or in the backseat. It was a simple but fun video, and well-executed.

Loved it! And now every time I go through the car wash I’ll get to imagine I’m looking as good as Miranda does 😂

Way Too Pretty For Prison has almost the same melody as her current single does. Otherwise it’s a cool song

I'm fine with this song.
It does have the classic Miranda sound, but it also feels more in the moment.
I smile when I hear it on the radio, so that's a good sign.

"Pretty Bi**hin" and "Bluebird" are my fave tracks so far. But I still think "Wash" was an great choice for lead single.

Fun video. Miranda is back to her old self and in fine form for this album era. This song is doing a great job at rebuilding her radio success.

Lyric video for Bluebird is uploaded on her Youtube channel. Second single? It is my most favorite instant grat song.

Saw her in concert the other night. She sang maybe 7 songs from the new album. This sounds like a great album to me. I have to say she sang Tequila Does and it sounds like an instant hit to me. I absolutely loved it. Stuck in my head immediately. Definitely my favorite of all the new songs.

To the shock of absolutely freaking nobody, this song has horrific callout scores on Mediabase because Miranda Lambert is a female singer and country radio listeners are brain washed sexists. Highest Negative rating, lowest pop Score besides "Dive Bar" and in general not good for future prospects.
Not helping are the sales which while not bad are pretty middle of the road and do not stand out enough. I do think this song has enough in the tank for a Top 10 finish on Mediabase or at least I hope it does because the last time a song from a Miranda Lambert album made the Top 10 was "Something Bad" back in October 2014.

Well, it’s a horrible song, and it’s not selling or streaming well either, but let’s blame everything on her being a woman- again.

Women do consistently get lower call out scores, but Miranda's are generally lower than average, and for this song specifically even lower than her normal. Sales for the song are also mediocre, although her album is selling well (and she/her team smartly have several bundles). Unfortunately I don't think this was a great choice for a lead single, and since she has little momentum at radio, I think she'll have trouble with singles from the rest of the album as well. Her best chance at radio was a strong lead single.

This simply was just another bad single decision by Miranda and her team, and honestly at this point I wonder if Miranda even cares about radio success. Her impact has been made and felt already, seems like she’s content just making the music she wants to make. While I like some of her new stuff, I do wish she’d go back to her 2010-2012 sound that was more mainstream and radio friendly. I don’t see that happening though.

I still really like this one, and feel that it was a good single choice. I'm surprised that it received such low callout scores. If the next single is one of the tracks that we've heard so far, I think I want it to be either "Bluebird" or "Mess With My Head". I like all of them, and could see a case for "Too Pretty For Prison". I love the sound of "Pretty Bitchin'", but I don't see radio touching it as is, and I don't see how they can make an edit that would still maintain the essence of the song.

I agree with pretty much all of this. I think "Wash" was a good lead single choice and I'm definitely surprised it has such poor callout, even with knowing she's a female artist and that always happens. I was really expecting this one to have a decent shot at getting her back to the top or close to it. I'm still holding out hope that it could maybe at least reach the top 10 though. Of the tracks we've already heard, "Mess with My Head" sounds like it would do well on the radio and it's already kind of been tested as being something that moves the needle for consumers, too.

It is pretty funny to me that the start of this thread is all about how refreshing this song is and that is was a good single pick and then when the (predictably) bad call-out scores are released now everyone hates it.
For me, it's a good song and a good single. Her best? No. Her worst? Hell no. But very catchy and very fun.
The new album also sounds amazing, and would actually argue that is is a return to the sound she found most of her commercial success with. I do, however, agree, she has already made her impact and will be a Country Music HOFer without question, so any more radio success for her is the cherry on top.
