[3] In addition to winning Album of the Year at the 2017 ACM Awards, [4] it is considered by several music publications as one of the best albums of the year.

Contents

Background and music

In an August 2016 interview with Billboard , Lambert stated she had been working on the album for a year, which included writing and recording. She admitted she was nervous about her new music since she had mostly stayed quiet while writing it. [6] Songwriter Luke Dick was one of the musicians who worked on the album. He co-wrote "Highway Vagabond" with Natalie Hemby and Shane McAnally. He found the line "I want to go somewhere nobody knows; and I want to know somewhere that nobody goes" while waiting at a deli and not willing to mix with other people. This became a road song with the word "vagabond" at the center, with a production sounding like country Siouxsie and the Banshees. [7]

The album's content is about her divorce with Blake Shelton and her subsequent relationship with Anderson East. [8]

Release and promotion

The album was released on November 18, 2016, through RCA Records Nashville.

"We Should Be Friends" was released as the second single on December 12, 2016. [11] It was a Top 30 hit on the Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts.

"Tin Man" was released as the third single on April 3, 2017, [12] immediately following Lambert's acoustic performance of the song on 52nd Academy of Country Music Awards. It peaked in the Top 20 of the Hot Country Songs chart, and the Top 30 of the Country Airplay chart.

"Keeper of the Flame" was released as the fourth single on April 16, 2018. [13]
