LeAnn Rimes, 'Spitfire': Singer Reveals New Album Title in Tweet to Miranda Lambert

LeAnn Rimes is back in the studio, putting the finishing touches on a new album due later this year. The singer has already hinted that she is keeping her classic country momentum going on the new project, following her critically-acclaimed 'Lady and Gentlemen' album of traditional country covers. Now we also know the title of this upcoming record ... thanks, in part, to Miranda Lambert!

"@leannrimes always tweets stuff that makes me think. Who runs the world....GULZ! (girls in a dramatic British accent)!:)" Miranda tweeted last week.

"@Miranda_Lambert love it! Thx mamma :)" LeAnn replied, "thinkin is good, unless our hair catches fire from over thinking."

"I do like fire," the 'Kerosene' singer responded, prompting LeAnn to suggest, "Girls and fire ... song in there somewhere!"

"I smell a co-write!" Miranda tweeted back.

"Dang straight," LeAnn replied. "My new album is called "Spitfire" as in "You make me want to spit fire" so, I see us GURLZZZZ starting some heat ... together soon. Let's make it happen. xoxo"

Perhaps a last-minute addition to 'Spitfire' will be a LeAnn/Miranda duet? We'll keep our fingers crossed.

Though no new music from 'Spitfire' has been revealed, it will most likely be yet another return to the Texas native's musical roots. "If this kind of country music was still played, this is all I would do," LeAnn told The Boot last fall when discussing 'Lady and Gentlemen.' "I find myself wanting to write this kind of music and maybe making a record that's similar to the style, but my own material. Maybe we're bringing it back! There's a huge misconception about me, because of the crossover hits that I've had ... but this is where my heart lies and always has."

There's no word yet on when LeAnn's 'Spitfire' album will hit stores. It will be her last contractually obligated project for Curb Records, the label that signed the vocal powerhouse when she was just 11 years old.

Quirk11, I can assure you, without a single doubt, that LeAnn's voice needs no "filtering" of any kind. She needs no pitch correction, no timing correction of any kind. She is one of the best singers I've ever worked with, if not the best, and that's a list that includes a lot of really really great singers. I'm sure you have a lot of expertise in many areas, but this is not one of them. Make no mistake, LeAnn Rimes is a powerhouse singer that also has a rich, nuanced, and frighteningly precise musical mind.

Yrs,

Finally! I think LeAnn has one of the best voices in country music. She can out sing many of the untalented idiots that are being overplayed. I do not agree with all of her actions as of late but I will not deny her of her talent. She is a great artist!

I listened to the snippet she posted. Its obvious the studio wizzards are what make her voice because the unfiltered version was really bad. It sounded like my dog caught his head in a Vlasik pickle jar. If she keeps posting unfiltered snippets, even the few hundered people who attend her "intimate" shows will stop going. Obviously, her ex-husband was the reason for her early success.

I saw posted that Curb refers to LeAnn's album as "Sh!tFire" because it's just more of her crap that won't sell. They have low expectations but just want her gone from the Label. Good Riddance!

Spit fire? I would assume LeAnn is a swallower.
