Rimes's 'Crazy Women'
After a slew of salacious headlines, LeAnn Rimes is hitting a lighter note with her upbeat, tongue-in-cheek new song, "Crazy Women."In the spirit of Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats," Rimes sings of crazy women (and the men who make them that way) on the new track, which hits radio Monday and will appear on her new album, Lady and Gentlemen, due early next year.
The single is "just such a fun song to sing along and laugh with," Rimes said in a statement. The Grammy-winning artist reinterprets classic country songs on the album, singing from a woman's perspective.
"After completing this album of songs by some of the most infamous men in country music to drive women crazy in love, I thought this song was perfect [for] the album," she added.
A 13-year-old LeAnn Rimes took the music world by storm in 1996 with the release of "Blue." Compared by critics to Patsy Cline, the little girl with the big voice sold 37 million albums and amassed two Grammy Awards, three Academy of Country Music honors and 12 Billboard Awards – all before the age of 25.
After she won unwanted attention in 2000 with a series of legal battles against her father, former manager, and record label, Rimes seemed destined for the crash-and-burn trajectory of other child stars. But she redirected her focus and found stability with dancer Dean Sheremet, whom she married in 2002. But just months after celebrating her seventh wedding anniversary, Rimes had an affair with married costar Eddie Cibrian, leading to the end of both of their marriages.
