The queens of Country music stars Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood amp up the sex appeal and wowed us with their stunningly dark appearances in their newest rowdy video for their first-ever girl-power duet, "Somethin' Bad," the second single off Lambert's newly released fifth studio album, "Platinum," which dropped June 3rd. The duo sport a variety of steaming looks including brunette hair as they team up to rob a bank, play high stakes poker and ultimately, get arrested.
"I'd wanted to record a song with Carrie for awhile but I just couldn't find the right one. 'Somethin' Bad' was originally written as a guy-girl duet but when I heard it I knew it was the perfect song. It's a meshing of our style," Lambert told Us Weekly of the hit, which is heating things up online, much as the single has done on country radio - not surprising given the individual firepower of the two country stars.
Lambert has said she pitched the song to Underwood by email, even though she was incredibly nervous about asking her to sing on it. No need to worry, though. Underwood readily agreed. In press materials for "Platinum," Lambert stated, "I'm a huge fan of Carrie Underwood. She's such a badass singer... To me, this song meshes our styles, you know? It gives her time to be 'Before He Cheats' Carrie, and it gives me time to take off running and jump to hit some of those high notes." It's been 9 years since Lambert set fire to her cheating boyfriend's house in "Kerosene," and it's been 8 years since Underwood swung a baseball bat at her boyfriend's car in "Before He Cheats." The country queens teamed up for "Somethin' Bad," and they're still causing trouble!
Set in a prison, the Trey Fanjoy-directed video sees Lambert, 30, plays Belle Boyd, and Underwood, 31, plays Priscilla Parker, a couple of jewel-thieving, poker-playing, motorcycle-riding troublemakers, as they go on a Thelma and Louise-like bad-girl escapade involving a bank caper, a high-stakes card game and a side-by-side motorcycle ride out of town. Throughout the 2:53-long music video, the blonds stand side by side wearing slightly different smoky eye looks, and model a variety of disguises to pull off the jewel heist.
