Kacey Musgraves Embraces Introspection in New Album 'Deeper Well'

The album marks a reflective turn for the artist, exploring themes of self-knowledge and love through a folk-pop lens.

Kacey Musgraves releases her sixth album, 'Deeper Well,' showcasing a shift towards introspection and self-knowledge through meditation, mantras, mushrooms, and Manhattan.
The album features a folk-pop sound with references to classic American songwriting, storytelling, and social commentary, while also exploring themes of love, self-reflection, and the impact of fame.
Musgraves collaborates with Boy Smells for a second candle, 'Deeper Well,' inspired by the album, aiming to create a sensory experience that complements the music.
Critics praise 'Deeper Well' for its acoustic idyll, introspective lyrics, and Musgraves's growth as an artist, noting the album's focus on love, introspection, and the simplicity of its sound.
The album is seen as a continuation of Musgraves's musical journey, moving from the highs of 'Golden Hour' to the lows of 'Star-Crossed,' and now to a more grounded and reflective state.
