Quote:
As Miranda Lambert worked through a session at Nashville’s Sound Stage a few months ago, she periodically stopped to text messages with cartoony emoticons to songwriter Natalie Hemby (“Pontoon,” “White Liar”), providing clues about the titles she was cutting. When Lambert sent the image of a gun, it was an immediate sign to Hemby: They were working on “Automatic.”
There’s a distinct irony to the exchange. “Automatic” is a song wrapped in another era, when clothes lines outnumbered driers, when drivers stood in line at the gas station counter instead of swiping a card to fill the tank, when people dropped hand-written letters into the U.S. mail instead of tapping out a 140-character direct message on Twitter.
“I don’t, for the record, like change a lot,” she admits. “When I get comfortable, I kind of like sticking with it.”
But there are clearly some changes—texting included—that she ultimately embraces.
Change was, in fact, in the air as Lambert went about assembling her next album, Platinum.
