Texas native Miranda Lambert teamed up with Leon Bridges for a romantic ballad last year, and now she’s teasing another new collaboration — this time with Latin pop star and Madrid, Spain-native Enrique Iglesias.
On Feb. 12, the country singer posted a snippet of the upcoming song titled “Space in My Heart,” which will release in full on Feb. 22. On Instagram, Lambert noted, “Texas meets Spain! Can’t wait for y’all to hear this one.”
The snippet offers up a sultry come-on, with the two singing, “You don’t love me yet, but I know you will/ If you ever go I will never change/ There’s a space in my heart and it’s just your shape.”
Iglesias — known for his Billboard Hot 100 hits including “Bailamos” and “Be With You,” as well as songs such as “Hero” and the Whitney Houston collab “Could I Have This Kiss Forever?” — was named one of Billboard‘s Top-Grossing Latin Artists of All Time. He’s notched eight chart-topping albums on Billboard‘s Top Latin Albums chart, including Vivir (15 weeks at the chart pinnacle) and Sex and Love (16 weeks).
In collaborating with Iglesias, Lambert continues a lengthy linage of country-Latin collaborations.
In the 1980s, Latin music icon Julio Iglesias earned country hits on collaborations with Willie Nelson, including the CMA Award-winning “To All the Girls I’ve Loved Before,” as well as “Spanish Eyes.” Country trio Midland teamed with Jay De La Cueva for a Spanish-language version of its hit “Drinkin’ Problem.” Oklahoma native Carrie Underwood performed with Latin artist David Bisbal for the bilingual song “Tears of Gold,” while Kane Brown teamed with Becky G for a Spanish remix of “Lost in the Middle of Nowhere.” In celebrating the 25th anniversary of his 1992 hit “Achy Breaky Heart,” Billy Ray Cyrus collaborated with Caballo Dorado on a bilingual version of the song.
