Kacey Musgraves has announced her fourth studio album.
The follow-up to the American country-pop star's 2018 Grammy Award-winning 'Golden Hour' is called 'Star-Crossed' and will arrive on September 10 through Interscope Records/Polydor/UMG Nashville.
Described as "an extremely personal journey of heartache and healing," the 15-song LP was penned and recorded within three weeks in Nashville, Tennessee earlier in 2021, during the aftermath of Musgraves' divorce. It finds the 33-year-old reuniting with co-producers and writers Ian Fitchuk and Daniel Tashian.
As a preview, the singer has released the record's title track and a trailer to an accompanying film. The opening eponymous song is an airy number that unfurls around Latin-inspired guitars while building to a pulsating, synth-led crescendo. It's presented as a mournful introduction to the theme of the record, which will function as a modern day tragedy in three acts.
The Bardia Zenali-directed film, meanwhile, features cameos from Eugene Levy, Princess Nokia, RuPaul's Drag Race star Symone, Victoria Pedretti and Megan Stalter. It will debut on Paramount+ on the same day the album is released.
