Country star Miranda Lambert recently released her latest single "Crisco," drawing on the good timing two steppery of "Urban Cowboy" and the sleek, disco urbanity of "Saturday Night Fever."
The song takes its inspiration from the phrase "cookin' with Crisco," which is used to describe something that is simple and takes little effort. The song was co-written with Aaron Raitiere, Jesse Frasure and Chill Fellacheck. "We wanted something that feels familiar but also fresh, which is really hard to do," Lambert enthuses. "We leaned into all the things I grew up loving about country music - Glen Campbell, Kenny and Dolly; very '70s and '80s. It's a fun mix of all these sides of country music that I've never fully explored before, even down to using strings in a bigger way. I almost can't believe I've made this many records without really going there, but it was magical to hear how much strings can transform a song." "Baby, we've been cooking with Crisco/ Ain't we mixin' country and disco/ Stir it around, give it a spin/ And it's a rhinestone world we're livin' in," the chorus goes.
