Kacey Musgraves has announced her long-teased fourth album will be called star-crossed and she’s releasing a film by the same name. She also shared the dramatic title track from the album.
The new album is inspired by Greek tragedies and her recent divorce from Ruston Kelly. It follows her crossover success from Grammy-winning Golden Hour.
According to a press release, star-crossed will contain 15 songs and will be “structured as a modern-day tragedy in three acts” and “tells an extremely personal journey of heartache and healing.”
“Let me set the scene,” Musgraves sings on the title track. “Two lovers ripped right at the seams/ They woke up from the perfect dream/ And then the darkness came.”
The 50-minute long film will stream on Paramount+ and feature cameos from Schitt’s Creek’s Eugene Levy, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’s Victoria Pedretti, Princess Nokia, RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Symone, and comedian Megan Stalter.
The tracklist includes:
Act I
1. “star-crossed”
2. “good wife”
3. “cherry blossom”
4. “simple times”
5. “if this was a movie”
