Miranda Lambert Says There’s “Something for Everybody” on Her New Album, “Platinum”

Sony Music NashvilleMiranda Lambert still has plenty of "sassy" moments on her upcoming album, Platinum, but there are plenty of vulnerable moments. On "Bathroom Sink," Miranda sings about dealing with body image issues, and "Priscilla" finds her addressing the challenges of having a famous husband, Blake Shelton.

"I always try to make my records be about where I am right now," Miranda says. "I'm 30 years old. I'm happily married, but I still have problems good and bad. I face everyday life as a 30-year-old girl. So, I wrote a lot about that."

Some other tracks, like the title cut and "Little Red Wagon," show off Miranda's lighter side.

She says, "There's some humor. I think that comes from my husband. You know, he really has helped me find my sense of humor. Clearly, he has a good one."

Miranda never apologizes for writing from a female point of view, but she thinks men will enjoy listening to Platinum, too.

Says Miranda, "I feel like there's something for everybody on this record. It's very heartfelt. It's got some deep stuff and some stuff that is relatable for everybody, hopefully."

The lead single from Platinum, "Automatic," is already a top 10 hit. Look for the full-length album in stores June 3.

Carrie Underwood Named to “TIME” 100 List of the World’s Most Influential People

Sony Music NashvilleCarrie Underwood has made TIME magazine's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Not only did she make the list, she's included in the category "Icons."

In an accompanying essay written about Carrie by Brad Paisley, her CMA Awards co-host says, “Not only has she earned her place [in country music], she's raised the bar: a prolific songwriter, a trend-setter, and an Opry member. But it's her decency as a person that is so impressive.”

Brad adds, "So many young girls want to be just like her. In that sense, I see hope for the world. If I had a daughter, nothing would make me happier than to hear her say she wanted to grow up to be like Carrie Underwood."

Carrie is also set to perform at the TIME 100 Gala, April 29 at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York. The black-tie event will include past and present TIME 100 list members. Previous attendees have included Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, Bill Clinton and Taylor Swift.

The TIME 100 issue is out Friday.

Is Jerrod Niemann Secretly Writing Songs for a New Garth Brooks Project?

Sony Music NashvilleGarth Brooks is expected to announce plans for a massive world tour in the coming months, and he's hinted there might be some new music to go along with the trek. Since Jerrod Niemann had a hand in writing several of Garth's singles, including 2005's "Good Ride Cowboy," we wondered if Jerrod might know something about Garth's recording plans.

"When I chat with him, I don't hit him up for a bunch of details," Jerrod tells ABC News Radio. "You know, I wouldn't probably trust myself with any details 'cause I get so excited."

While Jerrod doesn't have any insight on what or when Garth is recording, he is just as excited as everyone else about Garth's return to the concert trail.

Says Jerrod, "Any day that Garth Brooks cares to make music is a good day for everybody. So, yes. We all love Garth, and we can't wait for him to get back out there."

As for Jerrod's career, he just celebrated the #1 success of his gold-certified single, "Drink to That All Night" with a party on Music Row in Nashville this week. It's the lead release from Jerrod's latest album, High Noon, available now.

Rascal Flatts Performs for Patients and Families at Nashville Children’s Hospital

Big Machine RecordsRascal Flatts performed for young patients and their families at Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt Tuesday in Nashville. After singing their hits "Fast Cars and Freedom," "My Wish" and "Rewind," the Flatts posed for photos with every family in the audience.

Over the last 10 years, Rascal Flatts has donated more than $3 million to the Children's Hospital. They are now focused on raising funds for research on premature babies.

Lead singer Gary LeVox tells The Tennessean, "We branched out and took on the neonatal thing for premature children because it's the only thing medically that they don't know how to stop. When we first heard that, that there's no rhyme or reason for babies born premature, that was a goal and we're on our way."

On the music front, Rascal Flatts' new album, Rewind, comes out May 13.
