The country heiress returns with a balanced, serene new album that draws in equal measure from the sounds of ‘70s folk and adult contemporary radio.Doesn’t it feel like the Grammys never get it right? Year after year, music’s most prestigious awards body eagerly crowns, showing little regard for the masterpieces that are nominated alongside them.
“Deeper Well” is a measured recitation of all the ways she’s twisted and grown into the person she is today, shedding old habits and trimming the dead weight. Though Kacey Musgraves is throwing out her gravity bong, her songwriting still carries the acid trip clarity she found with. On “Sway,” she likens herself to a palm tree in a stormy wind, taking the pressure but never buckling underneath it.
While Musgraves primarily pulls in aspects of various ‘70s icons like the Eagles, Simon & Garfunkel and even Stevie Nicks, the most direct pull is from a 2004 adult contemporary radio classic. “Too Good to Be True” samples the melody of Anna Nalick’s “Breathe .” Thankfully, Musgraves isn’t falling into the trap that many popular musicians are today, where sample based songs get more craven by the day. Instead, “Too Good to Be True” is subtle, the sample tastefully worked in.
