Our review of Kacey Musgraves' sixth studio album 'Deeper Well,' which comes with a striking turn in sound and her most philosophical songs yet.
, the singer brings wonder back to the world.Kacey Musgraves has always sung like she’s passing on a lesson. That’s what set her perky country-pop apart when she broke out with 2015’s, brandishing her takes on Southern culture with a wink from a “dime store cowgirl.” Her 2018 Grammy-winningwas another profound revelation that saw her so dazzled by new love that listening felt like you, too, were experiencing it for the first time.
You almost get the sense that in the interim years she’s reached some sort of nirvana, because of all her previous teachings,is her most philosophical — the closest approximation to a Tao of Kacey Musgraves. At 35, she’s seven years past her Saturn return and approaching hershe? She now knows every relationship has a giver and taker, a concept introduced on “Deeper Well” that’s broken down further on “Giver/Taker.” She sees a well-timed visit from a cardinal as a sign from “the other side.
If it were anyone else, these songs would come across as simple, maybe even trite. But Musgraves somehow polishes these ideas with spikes of personality that unexpectedly peek through — as she lists things she loves about her home state of Texas, she tosses in “none of its laws” — and with the sheer, straight earnestness of her delivery. But maybe the warm resonance of these ideas has most to do with their arrival at a time when cynicism and doomsaying are the prevailing narratives.
