Stephen Wilson Jr. Releases New Single ‘Hardwired’ feat. Miranda Lambert
The Indiana-born, Nashville-based rising star Stephen Wilson Jr. has released his new single ‘Hardwired’ featuring Miranda Lambert.
Co-written by Wilson Jr., Jesse Frasure, Adam Hood, and Miranda Lambert, ‘Hardwired’ is a vivid portrait of working-class perseverance that culminates in a stunning interpolation of The Pixies iconic song ‘Where Is My Mind?’. The song is released alongside a hypnotic and hair-raising visualiser directed by Jace Kartye.
Hardwired’ is anchored by Wilson Jr.’s signature gut string acoustic guitar playing that has earned him recognition from Guitar World and Premier Guitar, who recently featured him in a six-page print feature in their August 2026 issue.
‘Hardwired’ follows last month’s release of “Gary” (Live From CMA Fest 2026) and his most recent single ‘Preacher’s Kid‘, which was named Song You Need To Know by Rolling Stone and was featured in Billboard’s New Music Friday Guide. All Country News proclaimed, “[the] sprawling, electrifying new track that arrives as both a statement and a reminder of why Wilson remains one of the most fascinating storytellers working today.”
