KACEY MUSGRAVES
The title is inspired by a solar eclipse, the songs influenced by Texan-born Kacey’s marriage to country star Ruston Kelly.
Opener Slow Burn brings a winning blend of emotional heft, humour and sensuality that defines this beautifully burnished album. Contentment suits Musgraves’ songwriting agility without diminishing reflection and longing. Love Is A Wild Thing is an ode to the splendour of new romance.
Kacey and her collaborators make it sound easy and her luscious vocal ensures a honeyed glow.
