Kacey Musgraves, Liza Anne

No popular artist quite captures the tension between the heart’s desires and life’s logistics like this Nashville-born artist. On 2018’s Golden Hour, a best-of list darling, Musgraves tenderly extracts the shards of her past and present relationships, urging us to see our own romantic pasts reflected and refracted in brilliant light. Songs such as “Space Cowboy” are as devastating as they are revelatory. With Liza Anne. Sold out.
