Country music star and four-time GRAMMY nominee Kelsea Ballerini has offered fans a glimpse of her upcoming album, PATTERNS, with the release of her latest single, “First Rodeo.” Known for transforming her personal experiences into relatable lyrics, Ballerini’s new album promises to be another intimate exploration of love, loss, and self-growth.
In PATTERNS, Ballerini reflects on the aftermath of her public divorce and steps into a new chapter of healing and self-discovery. The album, a follow-up to her introspective Rolling Up The Welcome Mat, delves into themes of vulnerability and the complexities of relationships. Collaborating with producer Alysa Vanderheym, songwriter Hillary Lindsey, GRAMMY-nominated Jessie Jo Dillon, and Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild, Ballerini has created a body of work that is both honest and emotionally resonant.
The newly released single, “First Rodeo,” captures the cautiousness of entering the dating world after heartbreak. With its haunting melody, soft vocals, and cello accents, the track paints a poignant picture of someone navigating new love while bearing the scars of past experiences. This follows her recent successful collaborations on tracks like “Cowboys Cry Too” with Noah Kahan and the heartfelt “Sorry Mom.”
As PATTERNS approaches, Ballerini continues to prove why she remains one of country music’s most authentic voices. Fans can expect more new music as she embarks on a tour to share what she describes as some of her most personal work to date.
