Kacey Musgraves' Sixth Studio Album 'Middle of Nowhere' Set for Release on May 1st
Kacey Musgraves is set to release her upcoming sixth studio album, Middle of Nowhere, on May 1st. The Grammy-winning artist unveiled the lead single, "Dry Spell," along with a music video that she co-directed with Hannah Lux Davis. Produced by Daniel Tashian and Ian Fitchuk, the album features guest appearances from Willie Nelson, Miranda Lambert, Billy Strings, and Gregory Alan Isakov. The album's title was inspired by a roadside sign in Musgraves' hometown of Golden, Texas, reflecting both a physical location and an emotional state.
Written during a period of personal reflection after a breakup, Middle of Nowhere showcases Musgraves embracing classic Western and country influences. The singer found solace in being alone and exploring liminal spaces, both geographically and emotionally. The album was crafted during a time of creative exploration and self-discovery, with Musgraves immersing herself in a simple, inspired life split between Texas, Tennessee, and Mexico.
Middle of Nowhere follows Musgraves' successful 2024 album Deeper Well, which topped the Billboard Top Album Sales chart and the Top Country Albums ranking. The album's success led to a global tour and notable achievements, including the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 duet "I Remember Everything" with Zach Bryan. Fans can preorder Middle of Nowhere and watch the music video for "Dry Spell" to get a taste of what's to come.
