Chris Stapleton, Miranda Lambert Release New Country Disco Duet

Chris Stapleton and Miranda Lambert released their first-ever duet, "A Song to Sing," on July 11, 2025, a tender and emotionally charged ballad that explores the balance between pursuing a creative life and loving someone deeply. The song, co-written by Stapleton, Lambert, Jesse Frasure, and Jenee Fleenor, blends disco-era groove with country storytelling, signaling an evolution in the genre and reflecting a broader trend of genre-blending among country artists. While critics described the track as uninspired and more adult contemporary than traditional country, fans responded positively, praising the harmony and emotional depth, with some even calling it a new wedding favorite. Lambert emphasized the song's personal resonance, noting the shared experience of touring life and love between Stapleton and his wife Morgane, and highlighted the song's heartfelt message about enduring relationships amidst the challenges of a creative career. The collaboration, produced by Dave Cobb, has been recognized for its musical robustness and creative vision, positioning Stapleton and Lambert as both a "true north" and a "hinge for the future" of country music. Additionally, Lambert continues to engage fans with other collaborations, including a live duet with Randy Houser performing Merle Haggard's classic "I Started Loving You Again."
