Excited for the era to officially begin and for this album to get here! I’m particularly excited to hear “Strange” in full, because that is a SMASH hit waiting to happen and is much more instant to me than “Cowboy.”

Excited for the album announcement! I hope that it's not too far off. I'm guessing that the record will come in like May or June. Looking forward to hearing "Strange" in full too because wow that song sounds like hooks on hooks!

She has a random week off in the middle of the bandwagon tour that makes it seem like it may be May 27. The timing of this would pan out to around then anyways.

Very rare to have a major album come out on a holiday weekend.

I never expected this to ever happen but man I am so happy for Miranda! So well deserved! She really has had a perfect career resurgence since "Bluebird" and I'm so here for it. http://instagram.com/p/Ca2HvwEokMd

So, so ELATED to see Dolly call out Miranda's name for EOTY!!! It's about damn time!! It sucks tho that this, of all times, was the one time she wasn't able to be there in person. It would've been so cool to see her reaction in real time. Excited for this career resurgence that "Bluebird" has given her and to see where she goes from this moment into the new era.

There was a UK magazine that accidentally published an article in light of her win with some of the album info in it. It’s since been deleted but looks like it’s coming sooner than we thought! End of April.

I LOVE STRANGE. It's so much more immediate than the lead single. Hope it finds its way to radio soon.

SO excited for a new MirLam album, and that it’s coming very soon at that! I absolutely love “Strange.” That chorus is already branded into my ears and the worm is right at home. I see this easily being another #1. I’ve been a fan of her for years so it’s really cool and thrilling to see this career resurgence of hers over the past couple years.

So I don't know if this is gonna make sense but I prefer the hook to "Strange" but I do love the lead single more overall. Both really good songs though.

Shows up on callouts today and they aren’t very good, this has the lowest net positive. If they don’t improve this will probably continue her trend of the lead peaking just outside the top 10.

Not to mention the highest negative score and really low Fav and Positive scores. Hopefully this can turn things around but the callout is definitely a bit lacking.

I definitely wouldn't have expected "Drunk" to be the song to test amazingly and this one to be super polarizing, but sometimes the callout really seems like such a curveball, lol. If this ends up petering out in the teens, it won't really make much difference considering that's where her last two leads landed, and I'm confident she'll release a more palatable second single to get her back towards the top of the charts (I could certainly see "Strange" doing just that if it's chosen). She's also currently slaying with the Elle King duet too so I'm sure that doesn't help incentivize radio to move this one up in a hurry. Rooting for it to recover and at least come closer to where "Vice" and "Wash" peaked, at the very least.

Same I totally thought Drunk was gonna tank in the top 10. I assume they let this hang until the album is out?

I hope this one can persist a bit longer on radio – top 10 isn’t likely but “Cowboy” is doing very well in streaming so I think it could end up nabbing a nice Hot 100 peak if it lasts until album release week. #64 is already really good for a song at #17 on the airplay chart.

Since there isn't a thread for the song in particular I'll just put it here but "Actin' Up" does not feel like a first song on an album material. I like the rock influence but it feels like it is missing something.

I disagree, it reminds me of Running Just in Case off Weight of these Wings. It’s slow and sexy and builds that trouble is starting and that the narrator is about to begin their journey... which she’s stated the album is a map and a journey to a destination, (which is apparently a carousel and a really emotional song.) It’s also almost a concept record, so the songs will all work together. I hope they don’t release any more so it can be listened to top to bottom as intended.

"Actin' Up" is absolutely phenomenal. She's 3/3 off the album so far, but I am not surprised by that at all given that it's Miranda Lambert we're talking about. So many quotable lyrics and the stylistic choice of stuttering of some of the lines is just melodic GOLD. Man, what a jam.

She’s 1/3 for me this era. Cowboy is my favorite of the three, but even that’s nothing special for me. I hope they grow on me.

My fave til now is "Actin Up", sounds so different from everything released by Miranda, and still sounds like Miranda.

Actin' Up is good, I love the Western/rock influences on it and I think I like it slightly better than If I Was A Cowboy.

“Actin Up” is OK and will grow on me with more listens but it’s my least favorite so far.

I enjoy all 3, but don't love any of them. "Strange" gets the closest to that for me. "If I Was a Cowboy" is certainly my least favorite of the 3. Miranda almost always delivers a good album (Platinum being the only one that I don't think there's much to revisit on) so I know this will be a solid album, but I do hope we get something I consider a top tier MirLam song like "Bluebird" and "Tin Man".
