Exciting news from Kacey Musgraves, as she unveils her fifth studio album, Deeper Well, a collection of songs inspired by the vibrancy of New York City's Greenwich Village. This album, recorded at the legendary Electric Lady Studios, is predicted to be another hit from the award-winning country artist.
Deeper Well: The Release Date
Mark your calendars, Deeper Well is slated to hit the airwaves on Friday, March 15. This album promises to offer a deep insight into Musgraves' personal and professional life.
Reflecting Her Life through Her Music
Musgraves has built a career on the foundation of her candid songwriting. Her fans are familiar with her practice of drawing from past relationships for her music. The previous album, Star-Crossed, beautifully depicted her journey through her marriage and subsequent divorce from Ruston Kelly. In 2020, the couple parted ways, and Musgraves moved on to date Cole Schafer in 2021. They announced their split two years later, in November 2023.
New Album, New Themes
Deeper Well isn't limited to Musgraves' romantic relationships. The album explores a range of themes, from personal growth to the magnetism of New York City, and observations of life and love.
Teasers and Singles
Before the album's release, Musgraves surprised her fans with an acoustic cover of the first single, “Deeper Well,” just hours before the official launch. Fans speculated that the song might be about her ex-husband, Ruston Kelly, given the references to changes in her life at 27, the age at which she met Kelly.
The new single, “Too Good to Be True,” was released three weeks after the album announcement. This song captures the initial blissful period of a relationship, with Musgraves expressing her hope that the relationship isn't to good to be true. Listeners will also catch the reference to the NYC energy in the second verse of this track.
