Join us on an emotional and transformative musical voyage with multi-GRAMMY nominee Kelsea Ballerini as she extends her deeply personal and captivating project ‘Rolling Up the Welcome Mat (For Good)’. Collaborating with her longtime friend and partner Alysa Vanderheym, this extraordinary musical narrative was initially crafted as a means of navigating the complexities surrounding the end of a marriage. However, what emerged was an introspective masterpiece that resonates with universal emotions, providing a safe haven for others to explore their own doubts and heartaches.
In Kelsea Ballerini’s own words, “When Alysa and I were creating Rolling Up The Welcome Mat, I never imagined revisiting it. But now, looking back, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for those who embraced this album. ‘(For Good)’ is my attempt to express my thanks and also signal a new chapter.”
This remarkable collection showcases a renewed sense of freedom and optimism, encapsulating the power of moving forward. As Kelsea asserts, “We move on. ‘(For Good)’ encapsulates the idea that embracing our emotions leads us to our brightest moments.”
Experience the musical evolution first hand:
- ‘Mountain With A View’: A glimpse of clarity and hope.
- ‘Just Married’: Reflections on love’s journey.
- ‘Penthouse (Healed Version)’: Capturing the vitality of live performances.
- ‘Interlude (Full Length)’: Unveiling the complete story.
- ‘Blindsided (Yeah, Sure, Okay)’: Updated with insights from a Saturday Night Live performance.
- ‘Leave Me Again’: Embracing change and growth.
- ‘How Do I Do This’: A brave step forward into a brighter future.
Ballerini continues, “I also want them to know: we move on. The best part of Rolling Up The Welcome Mat (For Good) is knowing I don’t need to talk about this stuff anymore. My whole life is ahead of me, so this expanded version is to let people know there’s real freedom in breaking down, in facing the emotions because it gets you to where your life can really shine.”
With a live version of ‘Penthouse (Healed Version)’ capturing the energy transfer in her nightly headlining shows and also on Kenny Chesney’s tour, the full rest-of-the-story ‘Interlude,’ an updated ‘Blindsided (Yeah, Sure, Okay)’ to reflect the lyrics added during her Saturday Night Live performance and the brand-new, put it out there ‘How Do I Do This’ the East Tennessee songstress moves from surviving to thriving over the course of seven songs. Unselfconscious and thoroughly present in the moment, Ballerini’s ‘(For Good)’ not only offers clarity to others going through tough circumstances, but it is the light to lead listeners to higher ground, brighter days and the happy ending we all deserve.
Ballerini’s enchanting melodies not only offer solace to those facing challenges but also illuminate the path to higher ground and joyful moments.
