Kacey Musgraves is releasing her fourth album, Golden Hour, marking her first non-Christmas release since 2015's Pageant Material, and it's a turn in a different direction for the celebrated singer-songwriter.
Musgraves has said that the new album represents a shift in perspective, and she's already let fans hear some of the songs in concert, revealing perhaps the most mature work she's yet undertaken. She credits her marriage with that new sense of direction.
Read on for all of the information we know about Golden Hour, including the songs, the producers, the release date and more.
The Title
Musgraves' fourth album is titled Golden Hour, and she tells Entertainment Weekly that the title, like much of her new music, was inspired by her relationship with husband Ruston Kelly. She came up with the title while viewing the solar eclipse.
"It felt like this majestic time where God was saying, ‘This is a moment to be present for, to witness and relish in the beauty of this incredible world,'" she says. "That was important for me to include on this record. It’s such an ugly time right now with society and politics, and it could be easy to focus on that. But one thing we could use is a little more love and positivity and pretty colors."
The Cover
The cover of Golden Hour shows Musgraves in front of a bright blue backdrop, covering part of her face coyly with a decorative fan.
