For the first half of the decade, Miranda Lambert was a country superstar with a string of radio hits, a recurring spot on The Voice, and a picture-perfect marriage to fellow singer Blake Shelton. But when they divorced in 2015, the breakup encouraged her to go down a darker, more existential path. Her ambitious double album The Weight of These Wings carries on in a grand tradition of messy relationship statements: It has the grit of Tom Petty’s Wildflowers and the uncertainty of Bruce Springsteen’s Tunnel of Love, wrapped up in Lambert’s fiery, down-home charm. Its songs are torch ballads and highway anthems with a live band that feels borne of late night jam sessions, raw and unglamorous. For Lambert, redemption comes from buying a cheap pair of plastic sunglasses, by spending late nights alone at the bar, in knowing that she alone controls her destiny. Legend has it, she hung up on the first interviewer she spoke to about the record—the question was about Shelton’s new partner, Gwen Stefani—and decided that she would do no press surrounding the album, letting the music speak for itself. “All you had to do was listen,” she said. And the music says it all. –Sam Sodomsky

前一个五年里，米兰达·兰伯特是一名有着电台热榜体质的乡村音乐巨星，频繁地出现在电视节目《The Voice》（《美国好声音》）里，有着和同是歌手的布雷克·谢尔顿完美的婚姻。当自从2015年他们离婚之后，这段分离促使她走向一段更黑暗、更存在主义的道路。她雄心勃勃的双碟专辑《 The Weight of These Wings》（双翼的重量）继续秉持大传统，描述着混乱的关系:正如Tom Petty的专辑《Wildflowers》里承载的勇气以及Bruce Springsteen《Tunnel of Love》中的不确定性，它们都在兰伯特火热又朴实的魅力中迸发。她的歌是民谣之火炬，是在高速公路上播放的颂歌，又像是深夜的即兴演奏，原始而单调。对兰伯特而言，救赎感的来源很简单：买一副廉价的塑料太阳镜，在酒吧里独自度过深夜，并知道只有她才能掌控自己的命运。有这么一段传说，她挂断了第一个关于这张专辑的采访电话——采访的问题是关于谢尔顿的新爱人格温 · 斯蒂芬妮——并决定不对这张专辑进行媒体报道，让音乐自己说话。“你所要做的就是倾听，”她说。音乐在此表达了一切。
