Review
Kacey Musgraves really switched things up with her fourth studio album "Golden Hour," and I can't help but admire the boldness. Released on March 30, 2018, it weaves together country vibes with a splash of pop, a dash of disco, and even a touch of electronica. It's like she took the heart of country music, gave it a modern twist, and ended up with something fresh yet familiar. Musgraves didn't just mix genres, she blended personal experiences into her lyrics, drawing from life milestones like her own wedding season, which gives the album such a genuine feel. And let's just say her pivot paid off big time, grabbing her four shiny Grammys, including the coveted Album of the Year.
The album's singles, "Butterflies" and "Space Cowboy," not only soared up the charts but also picked up Grammys of their own, cementing "Golden Hour" as more than just a musical masterpiece—it's a genre-bending journey. The fusion of different styles creates this groovy yet soulful experience. It's an album that captures those shimmering life moments, wrapping them into songs that make you want to both reflect and dance. The balance of mellow introspection and infectious beats makes for such a compelling listen, it's no wonder this album catapulted Musgraves into a whole new stratosphere of artistry. - Ava
