On sharing the album with the world, Musgraves explained, “I’m excited to shareStar-Crossedjust because people know me to be a songwriter that writes about what I’m going through. And I think it would have been extremely awkward if I just acted this last chapter didn’t happen for me.”
“So I think you saw my highlight reel withGolden Hourand this is the other side of that. And I mean there are beautiful parts of that too,” she continued.
“Whether it’s in fashion, etc. I think that there are certain aspects of this record that sound a little bit more country, I guess, thanGolden Hour. I don’t know. But at the same time, I feel like I’m tapping into more widespread influences on this album,” Musgraves added to Lowe, 48, about the LP. “I don’t know, there are some moments that kind of bring it back to that, where you can see kind of the relation to my previous music.”
