there’s a charming naiveté to her sweet vocal warbles that you can’t help but fall for on a record that blends the addictive hooks of pop with the rich warmth of country.

on this record, she’s written some of the most honest & genuine tunes of her career. Musgraves describes her new LP as having a “trippy” twist, citing the Bee Gees, Sade, & Neil Young as influences. while she’s often celebrated for her clever wordplay & witty turns of phrase about small-town life, she says she approached this album with more direct, reflective songwriting. fans of taylor swift & miley cyrus’ pop-country roots, or of Lydia loveless & nikki lane, will love this record. “Kacey Musgraves Absolutely Shines on Golden Hour. An honest, cohesive musical experience that will linger in your mind & heart” a- | consequence of sound.
