Its a welcome return for the group that scratches a years-long itch.
Thisisthe first new Chicks music theyve released since Not Ready to Make Nice after all.
It all makes for a fun time for the listener; so, here are the hottest burns offGaslighter.
A boat that Maines bought for him.
The albums title track is full of little burns, but this ones the toothiest.
Sleep at Night
My husbands girlfriends husband just called me up, how messed up is that?
Its so insane that I have to laugh.
A biting lyric that also requires a family tree or flowchart to follow along with the messiness.
Thats when you know youre getting the good stuff.
Remember you brought her to our show at the Hollywood Bowl.
She said, I love you, Im such a fan.
I joked that you could love me as long as you dont love my man.
Theres nothin funny about that.
Just real delicious specificity here.
March March
Standin with Emma and our sons and daughters.
Watchin our youth have to solve our problems.
Ill follow them, so whos comin with me?
Half of you love me, half already hate me.
Tell the ol boys in the white bread lobby what they can and cant do with their bodies.
Temperatures are risin, cities are sinkin.
Ah, cut the shit, you know your city is sinkin.
Lies are truth and truth is fiction, everybodys talkin, whos gonna listen?
What the hell happened in Helsinki?
This verse gets into all of that, but the best part is a subtle reference to Donald Trump.
(Also, if you had uses the wordHelsinkiin a lyric on your Chicks bingo card, congrats.
Trump defended Russia, claiming, against the FBI, that Russia had not interfered with the 2016 election.
The songs title, Tights on My Boat, gets its moment in the chorus.
I hope you never find a sock to match the other one.
Hey, will your dad pay your taxes now that I am done?
This is the perfect setup for a spike.
The first line about socks mundane, a trivial annoyance.
Andthen… the Chicks go for the jugular.
Remember when you wouldnt come away with me?
Sent your mom instead, yeah, that was a real thing.
Again, we love an anecdotally specific lyric.
Laser-sharp focus for a searing insult.
Set Me Free
Decency would be for you to sign and release me.
If you ever loved me, then will you do this one last thing?
Set me free, set me free.
The song is heart-wrenching and subdued.
He alleged the music would be in violation of a confidentiality clause in their prenup.
Its also the reason they say, so far, theyve beenlegally unable to talk specifics aboutGaslighterin interviews.
