New Music: Miranda Lambert - "Two Of A Crime" [Full Audio / Review]
Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara’s upcoming film “Hot Pursuit” takes place in Texas so I guess it’s only right there’s some country music involved.
The Anne Fletcher-directed comedy won’t be opening in theaters until May 8 but today we get a glimpse at the soundtrack – which apparently will be all about country music. The first song that has been unveiled is “Two Of A Crime”, performed by the one and only Ms. Miranda Lambert.
The song is the perfect anthem for “Hot Pursuit”, whose plot revolves around the hunt for Reese and Sofia’s criminal characters – Sofia’s apparently a drug lord and Reese is a Texas police officer who damns the day she met Sofia and got her in big trouble. Like it or not, the two will become “partners in crimes” and this is why I say Miranda’s song is so fitting.
“Two Of A Crime” has an upbeat, rock-y country beat, signature vocals by Miranda and a message about being there for one another, even though the person you’re “being there” is a criminal.
Although the song is alright, what’s up with that unnecessary long instrumental outro? It’s almost 2 minutes!!! They better chop the song for the iTunes release.
