In addition to the 15-track project releasing September 10, there will be a 50-minute film of the same title, available via Paramount+ featuring Schitt’s Creek star Eugene Levy, RuPaul’s Drag Race winner, Simone, actress Victoria Pedretti, musician Princess Nokia, and comedian Megan Stalter. The film is directed by Bardia Zeinali.
"We wanted it to feel cinematic and epic without compromising the heart and the emotion,” shared Zeinaili. “To feel fantastical and heightened and tell her story through the lens of art and fashion."
The film and album, releasing September 10, will surely shuffle things up since Musgraves’ last album, Golden Hour.
"My last album is what people know me for," Musgraves told Crack magazine. "They see me as this starry-eyed, rose-colored glasses kinda girl; the Golden Hour girl. Well, here I come with a post-divorce album, bursting the f***ing bubble."
Musgraves committed to digging deep for the album as she participated in a guided, seven-hour mushroom trip to help her uncover the rawest of emotions, paying no mind to outside judgement. The 32-year-old described her trip as an “insane” experience, which ultimately lead her to inspiration for the post-divorce album, leaving nothing off limits as she searches for one thing — healing.
“I accomplished everything I could have ever dreamed of with Golden Hour,” Musgraves shared. “I felt like I didn’t really have anything to prove, and I don’t make albums for accolades anyway.”
