Kacey Musgraves is preparing to release her seventh studio album this year, beginning with the unveiling of her new single, “Dry Spell,” on Wednesday, March 11. The announcement is accompanied by a unique marketing campaign that has captured fan attention.
Billboards and Teasers Spark Anticipation
Musgraves has erected billboards in various cities posing the question, “dry spell? Call for a real good time.” Those who dialed the number on the billboards received a voicemail message from Musgraves herself, offering a preview of the unreleased track.
A recent social media post featured a video clip of “Dry Spell” captioned “you up?” The teaser includes lyrics such as, “ain’t nobody’s tool up in my shed / ain’t nobody’s boots under my bed / ain’t nobody’s truck in my drive / for a late night call for a real good time.”
Return to Lost Highway
The upcoming album will be released through Lost Highway Records, marking a return for Musgraves to the label that released her Grammy-winning 2013 debut, Same Trailer Different Park. She stated last year that she appreciates “being in a period of time where I’m not rushed by a deadline and have the space to mosey and poke around.”
Musgraves’ previous album, 2024’s Deeper Well, reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on the Country albums chart. The track “The Architect” from that album won a Grammy for Best Country Song.
Musgraves has demonstrated a willingness to experiment with different sounds throughout her career, moving from the traditional country of Pageant Material to the more expansive soundscapes of Golden Hour and then back toward her center with Deeper Well. She has expressed a desire to balance “tradition and future” in her music.
