Nashville, Tennessee – Kacey Musgraves has taken off her Golden Hour, rose-colored glasses with her fifth studio album, Star-Crossed.

Conceptualizing the look and feel of a new album can be difficult, especially when that album follows a Grammy-winning one, and a divorce.

But Kacey Musgraves has proven yet again that she can gracefully navigate the rough waters of love and loss with her new album, Star-Crossed, which was released on Friday.

The look and feel of this album is strikingly different to that of her previous project Golden Hour, and that's largely because of where Musgraves is at on a personal level.

Golden Hour largely encompasses the feeling of blindly falling in love, and how it makes everything look and feel a bit more beautiful than it might be. Given that the album was largely inspired by her now ex-husband, singer Ruston Kelly, it makes sense that every track sounds like a love song to love itself.

Star-Crossed, on the other hand, pens a version of love that many desperately try to hide – the honest one.

Relationships aren't always rainbows and butterflies, even for those who seem to have it all together on Instagram – a point Musgraves successfully brings to the table on her fifth and newest album.

"My record is out," the singer posted on Friday. "Thank you for listening."

Rather than avoiding the dark side of love, the 33-year-old leans into the touchy subject, casting an honest light on what a real relationship looks and sounds like, particularly on its less-than-golden days.

On the track Angel, the country star feels that "everything would be better" if she was an angel, singing, "I'd only use pretty words, and when I'm talking to you, it'd never hurt. You'd only get the best of me. I'd never make you want to leave."

Speaking directly about her failed marriage with Kelly on the song Good Wife, Musgraves lists off all the ways she could be a "good wife," even if it means deserting herself in the process: "Listen to his problems, tell him that I understand. Touch him so he knows in his heart he's the only one. Try to loosen up and be more fun. Yeah, I could be more fun."

If there was ever an artist who could seamlessly fuse varying styles of music together on one body of work, it appears to be Kacey Musgraves.

She gives a nod to her country roots on tracks like Keep Lookin' Up and Camera Roll, while showing her appreciation for electronic music, low-fi beats, and poppy vocals on the singles Easier Said, Breadwinner, and What Doesn't Kill Me.

All in all, Star-Crossed gives listeners a direct line into Musgraves' honest inner-monologues. Wading through the emotional fallout of her two-and-a-half year marriage, listeners find themselves holding on to hope that she'll find love again – just like Musgraves herself.
