Kacey Musgraves Just Announced Her Next Album (& Released Its First Song)
Get in, we’re digging a deeper well.
2024 is shaping up to be the year of major pop star returns, and that apparently includes Kacey Musgraves. The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter officially announced her upcoming fifth studio album, Deeper Well. The record arrives in March and will seemingly mark a return to her country roots.
After experimenting with a more pop-forward sound on her 2021 album, star-crossed, her new single “Deeper Well,” out now, is significantly more stripped-down and folk-leaning. Over bright but simple strummed guitar, she’s still singing about the usual Kacey things: learning from her Saturn return, waking and baking with her DIY gravity bong, and unearthing new lessons about love and relationships.
Surprisingly, per a press release, Musgraves recorded the majority of the record at New York City’s famed Electric Lady Studios, seemingly able to conjure the country spirit despite being smack dab in the Village. “I was seeking some different environmental energy, and Electric Lady has the best mojo. Great ghosts,” she said in a statement. The city does make the heart grow fonder!
For the record, Musgraves once again reunited with her Golden Hour collaboraters, Daniel Tashian and Ian Fitchuk, which points to another gorgeous, tear-jerking album on the horizon. Below, find everything know so far about Deeper Well, including the release date and full tracklist.
