Kelsea Ballerini has shared a new single, First Rodeo.
The vulnerable, heartfelt ballad reflects on the first stages of a new relationship, and will appear on the Tennessee country artist's fifth studio album, 'Patterns', due out on October 25 via Black River Entertainment.
Head below to view the song's accompanying video, which features shots of the singer-songwriter on a funfair ride and in a hotel room, interspersed with scenes of a beach sunset. She said:
"Listen, there’s a reality that an inner monologue post public breakup is, 'I feel washed up on the heart front. I feel like I don’t know how to do this anymore'. But at the end of the day, choosing love is bigger, and the honesty of saying please take it slow and be patient with me can actually be a beautiful and connective moment. First Rodeo encapsulates that conversation, and more so, that decision within self to be vulnerable and open and allowing the hope of it all to seep back in."
On the clip, she added: "The visuals are meant to show the emotion, duality, feelings, and landscape of this record. But as much as it’s personal and my own art and life, it’s kind of at the point now that it turns into a shared relationship…where it becomes a different meaning to everyone. Truly, that’s why I can’t wait to play this record live and see how it all connects outside of my own journey. Until then, I feel like First Rodeo is the perfect final taste of the storyline and heart of 'Patterns'."
Ballerini's most recent studio album is 2022's 'Subject To Change', which was followed by last year's 'Rolling Up The Welcome Mat' EP. She'll celebrate the new LP with a special performance at New York's Madison Square Garden on October 29.
