Kacey Musgraves - “Keep It to Yourself”
One of my favorite albums so far this year is a country album.

The themes explored throughout are nothing new for country music, but Musgraves has a way with the details. “Keep It to Yourself” is a plea for her ex to just leave her alone, and despite her empathy for his misery in the quiet moments (“it’s the drip of the sink / it’s the click of the clock”), she desperately wants him away so that those moments can feel less miserable, too.
Fallulah has been called the Danish Florence and the Machine. The heavy drumming and pretty vocals are indeed reminiscent of Flo.
