Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton are back with their first official duet, “A Song to Sing,” released on July 11—a groovy love song with a retro flair that instantly transports listeners to the golden era of ’70s and ’80s country. Co-written by Lambert, Stapleton, Jenee Fleenor, and Jesse Frasure, the track has already drawn comparisons to legendary duets like Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers’ “Islands in the Stream.”
The official music video, which premiered on August 22, fully embraces the retro vibe. Both Lambert and Stapleton sport ’70s-style outfits while performing in a colorful roller disco. Adding to the sparkle, Stapleton’s wife Morgane makes a stunning appearance in a glittering gold jumpsuit, lighting up the screen.
Fans quickly noticed hints of Dolly and Kenny in the video, and it turns out these tributes were intentional. Stapleton wore a gold lion necklace that belonged to Kenny Rogers, who passed away in 2020, while Lambert donned clip-on hoop earrings from Dolly Parton’s estate.
“What an honor,” Lambert said of wearing these special pieces, sharing photos and clips highlighting the jewelry. These subtle touches turned the fun, retro video into a heartfelt nod to the country legends who paved the way.
