Kelsea Ballerini will release her new album ‘Patterns' on 25th October 2024 via Black River Entertainment.
The album is Ballerini's first new collection of music since the release of ‘Rolling Up The Welcome Mat' in 2023. For the record, Ballerini has teamed up with producer and longtime collaborator Alysa Vanderheym.
After a songwriting retreat with Vanderheym, Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee Hillary Lindsey, GRAMMY Songwriter of the Year nominee Jessie Jo Dillon and Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild, Ballerini decided to make an album that focused on female friendship being vulnerable and honest, owning one’s jagged spaces and the way relationships really are, not the way they look on Instagram.
“There was an unpresumed feeling of knowingness that happened on that retreat,” Ballerini reports. “I felt safe, so then I was able to feel honest, and then more so, creative. We were all, as songwriters, in tandem but more so as women just in a real heart flow of it all. Having these heroes and friends champion the process and the guts of it all has been one of the joys of my career. Disassembling and sorting through the habits and nuances of ourselves, and then those that we love the most, is a chapter I am still in and will always stand by. I’m really proud of that story through music.”
‘Patterns' includes the already released songs ‘Cowboys Cry Too' and ‘Sorry Mom'. The album is available to pre-order on CD and vinyl now and pre-save on digital. Take a look at the cover below:
