New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Kacey Musgraves is finding her "
Deeper Well" with her new album. Deeper Well is the follow up to Musgraves' 2021 album star-crossed, which debuted at #1 on Billboard's Top Albums Sales chart and earned wide critical praise.
Musgraves co-produced Deeper Well with longtime collaborators
Daniel Tashian and Ian Fitchuk. Inspired by the energy of New York City's Greenwich Village and its rich musical history, Musgraves recorded a good portion of the new album at the legendary Electric Lady studios.
"I was seeking some different environmental energy, and Electric Lady has the best mojo. Great ghosts," noted Musgraves.
With her keen observations of the world and discerning eye for the subtle nuances of life, Musgraves' lyrics serve as a lens focusing on moments of life that often go unnoticed, turning them into timeless songs that strike a chord deep within listeners.
Saturn returns, cardinals embody a dead friend, love is given and taken, streets rush by, belongings are packed and old chapters deserted, new love blooms, jade bracelets serve as talismans, deep lessons emerge, small details define everything, the woods are a refuge and New York City serves as the same gleaming beacon as Oz.
While most of the 14 tracks are penned by Musgraves with Fitchuk and Tashian, she is also reunited with Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne for beautifully contemplative track "The Architect."
Star-crossed is the follow up to Musgraves' groundbreaking 2018 album Golden Hour, which earned Kacey her third #1 debut on Billboard's Top Country Album chart and distinguished her as only the third artist ever to take home Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards, Country
Music Association Awards and Academy of Country
Music Awards. In 2023 Musgraves achieved her first #1 entry on the Hot 100 chart for "I Remember Everything," a duet with Zach Bryan.
"
I Remember Everything" is the first country music duet in 40 years since
Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers' "Islands in the Stream" (1983) to reach this feat. "
I Remember Everything" just won the Grammy Award for Best Country Song by a Duo or Group at the 66th annual ceremony held earlier this week.
This latest win makes Musgraves the only artist in history to receive a Grammy Award for Best Country Album, Best Country Song, Best Country Solo performance and Best Country Duo or Group performance.
