3. 평가


메타스코어 84 / 100	유저 스코어 TBD / 10
상세 내용

7.6 / 10

★★★★☆

전반적으로 Golden Hour 이후 케이시의 최고의 앨범이라는 평가가 주를 이루고있다. 전작인 star-crossed의 팝 사운드와 Deeper Well의 정적인 포크 사운드에서 벗어나 다시 본연의 뿌리인 텍사스 컨트리와 회귀하여 케이시 특유의 유머 감각과 좋은 멜로디를 잘 버무리며 Golden Hour에 준하는 커리어 하이를 경신했다는 평.

4. 성적

빌보드 200에서 초동 100,000 유닛으로 커리어에서 가장 많은 초동 판매량을 기록했다.

5.1. Middle of Nowhere

'''Middle of Nowhere

2:36

_{Kacey Musgraves}'''

[ 가사 보기 ]: Out there on the edge of the world
Way past common sense
Past the Dairy Queen, the county line
Where there ain't any fences

Gonna find my own peace
I wanna be

Somewhere in the middle of nowhere
I think maybe I'll just stay there
Don't tell me you miss me, I don't care
I'm somewhere in the middle of nowhere

No service on the phone, and I'm alone
But it honestly feels good
And if you tried to call, I wouldn't call you back
Even if I could

Gonna find my own peace
I wanna be

Somewhere in the middle of nowhere
And I think maybe I'll just stay there
Don't tell me you miss me, I don't care
I'm somewhere in the middle of nowhere

Ooh

The thing that I love about the place that I'm in
There's no reckless men
Who don't know what they want
Trying to lean into the in-between
It's just me and me
And that's all I need

5.2. Dry Spell

'''Dry Spell

3:17

_{Kacey Musgraves}'''

[ 가사 보기 ]: It's been a real long three-hundred and thirty-five days
And the last time, it wasn't good anyway
I'm so lonely, lonely with a capital "H"
If you know what I mean, I've been sitting on the washing machine

Ain't nobody's tool up in my shed
Ain't nobody's boots under my bed
Ain't nobody's truck up in my drive
For a late night call, for a real good time
Ain't no new notches on my belt
And I'm tired of keepin' my hands to myself
911, it's officially a cry for help
Y'all, I'm going through a dry spell, yep

So, tell me, what's a self-respectin' girl to do?
I got the bacon, and no one to bring it home to
It's a drought out here, waitin' on a storm
I think it's time for me to take the bull by the horns

Ain't nobody's tool up in my shed
Ain't nobody's boots under my bed
Ain't nobody's truck up in my drive
For a late night call, for a real good time
Ain't no new notches on my belt
And I'm tired of keepin' my hands to myself
911, it's officially a cry for help
Y'all, I'm going through a dry spell, yep

Ain't nobody's tool up in my shed
Ain't nobody's boots under my bed
Ain't nobody's truck up in my drive
For a late night call, for a real good time
Ain't nobody to roll with in the hay
And nobody but the chickens are gettin' laid
911, it's officially a cry for help
Y'all, I'm going through a dry spell, yep

빌보드 선정 2026년 상반기 최고의 곡
5위

가사가 성적으로 은유적이고 유머러스함을 크게 포함하고 있어 웃기다는 반응이많다.

빌보드 Hot 100 차트 55위를 기록하며 케이시의 솔로 차트인 기록중 최고 기록을 달성하였다.

5.3. Loneliest Girl

'''Loneliest Girl

4:16

_{Kacey Musgraves}'''

[ 가사 보기 ]: I'm getting better at being alone
I could go days without seeing someone
I don't have to push anyone out of my bed
No awkward conversations that I don't wanna have
Yeah, I'm the loneliest girl in the world

I don't have to navigate nobody's drama
I don't have to act like I like all your friends or your mama
I don't have to take on your childhood trauma
I'm happy to be the loneliest girl in the world

Y'all don't need to worry 'bout what I might be missing
Put me on a poster of somebody who's living the life
Yeah, I'm alright
I ain't even mad at all the people in love
I can pour whatever I want in my cup
Give it up for the loneliest girl in the world

I gotta be careful of who I let in
I'm not sure I could stand my heart getting broken again
No more anything that's taking my energy
If I'm only doing it for company
I'd rather be the loneliest girl in the world

Y'all don't need to worry 'bout what I might be missing
Put me on a poster of somebody who's living the life
Yeah, I'm alright
I ain't even mad at all the people in love
I can pour whatever I want in my cup
Give it up for the loneliest girl in the world
I'm happy to be the loneliest girl in the world

Y'all don't need to worry 'bout what I might be missing
Put me on a poster of somebody who's living the life
Yeah, I'm alright
I ain't even mad at all the people in love
I can pour whatever I want in my cup
Give it up for the loneliest girl
The loneliest girl in the world

Loneliest girl
Loneliest girl
