Kacey Musgraves has officially announced her new album.
After teasing it online and with billboards in the US, the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter will release 'Middle Of Nowhere' on May 1, following up 2024's 'Deeper Well'. She produced it with her longtime collaborators Daniel Tashian and Ian Fitchuk. Musgraves said:
“The bulk of this record was made during the longest single period of my life and I found that for the first time, it actually felt incredible being alone and existing in a space not defined by anyone else. I became fascinated with the concept of liminal space, both geographical and emotional. We don’t linger in these transitional, empty spaces long enough and rush to define where or whatever is next.
"I became so at ease with being in the “middle of nowhere” in many senses and sitting in the un-comfort of the undefined. I had a lot of time for creative ambling and leaning into myself in different ways; horses, humor, writing with my early collaborators again, and living out my very simple, inspired life between Texas, Tennessee, and Mexico.”
The record features collaborations with Gregory Alan Isakov, Billy Strings, Miranda Lambert and Willie Nelson. Check out the full tracklist and artwork below.
As a preview, Musgraves has shared the new song Dry Spell, a tongue-in-cheek country-pop earworm full of playful innuendo.
She will appear at the Bourbon and Beyond festival in Louisville, Kentucky this September. Head here for tickets.
