In @KaceyMusgraves’ new album, “Deeper Well,” Musgraves safely tackles new alternative sounds, dipping her feet into the folk realm as she expresses feelings of anxiety and insecurity, while also containing anthems of healing and letting go.

ALT The album cover for Kacey Musgraves’ Deeper Well. Musgraves stands in focus in the center of the frame looking at the camera with a blank look. Behind her is an out of focus grassland with fences along the landscape and trees in the very back. Musgraves is holding a red wildflower with a green stem up to the camera. She is wearing a white off-shoulder sweater and her body is covered by her long brown hair, which is being slightly blown aside by the wind. Above Musgraves is the words “Deeper Well” printed in white in a small playful font.
