— The Math
— Loneliest Girl In The World
— Everybody Loves You When You're Dead
— You Let Me Live
— Mexico Honey
— Hell On Me

Already? It feels like DW dropped just yesterday and she usually takes at least 3 years between projects  

Spoiler

this is unpopular opinion but I wish to see some star crossed-like songs  album full of cardinals, justifieds, simple times and jade greens will send me spiraling into heaven

 

I read "KMS" and got worried for a bit

She "confirmed" the next era for next year in an interview with a Mexican newspaper

star crossed is so underrated. it's a fabulous record i love it so much  it just needed a bit of filtering, but i wouldn't mind if she revisited that synth-y pop sound again 

PLUS: Steph Jones (Espresso) is credited on the last two songs on the list 

Perched! I would love it to have a vibe that fits right in with songs like Slow Burn, Lonely Weekend, Golden Hour, Simple Times, Cardinal, Easy, Blowin' Smoke, Waves

Exactly, it's bit rough here and there and it was a big departure from her usual stuff (although LIAWT and High horse were much "poppier" than anything on it)  but it has gems, a lot of them actually 

She kinda fell off ever since she did cross country with **** *****

she also didn't properly launch the era right. camera roll should've been lead. it was the perfect bridge for her. country esque while not too pop like her early work and sentimental and sweet and captivating like GH. then breadwinner and justified would have been good follow ups 

 

but it's a very artistic narrative bent record. and i like the risks she took with the title track and gracias a la vida. but you definitely to be in the mood to listen to it whilst her other albums are far easier to get into

I've always wanted to get into her music. I'm a massive Maren Morris fan is her music similar? Which album from her is her most popular leaning as i am a pop music lover?

This looks like a better start than the last 2 but I don't think anything is ever gonna touch golden hour. That's my all time favorite non taylor album

Slightly more country. But very similar. It's the same lane as Kelsea Ballerini tbh

I'm ready for another magnum opus from the country queen!

Lainey Wilson? Her over exaggerated fake country accent kills me... Isn't she super MAGA or no?

her last two albums were f-cking awful, praying on my knees that this one is better

Lainey doesn't share her political views.

mother I'm ready omg

oh wow didnt expect this but i just love good news. was also just listening to arm's length which is an underrated gem.

I need her to have more experimental non just country songs 

How she intertwines synths with her classic sound is where she shines the most for me.

Kacey Musgraves is also sitting on FIVE songs that did not make Cowboy Carter co-written with one of Beyonce's favorite female writing collaborators INK (who contributed to "16 Carriages", "Thique", "Alien Superstar", "Texas Hold Em", "Ameriican Requiem", and "Summer Renaissance"). Do you think those will see the light of day?

Am I tripping or didn't she tease a Spanish inspired album not too long ago?

Yeah!! It was in the same interview where she confirmed the new album for next year. She's been spending a lot of time in Mexico.
