Kelsea Ballerini is one of the prolific artists of our time. She bears her heart out on everything that she does and that is definitely something that we admire. Like Taylor Swift, Ballerini writes music that says the things we want to say or don’t know how to say.
Ballerini loves to release an EP and we love it when she does. Her latest release, Mt. Pleasant is absolutely amazing and her music is something that we relate to. She spoke about the EP on social media and its absolutely beautiful.
She wrote, “Ive absolutely fallen in love with making EP’s in between albums. there’s such a freedom and unbounded nature to the process, from the writing to the production, that i have found to be a creative exercise and also palate cleanser for my own artistry.”
“mount pleasant is a collection of six songs that i’ve written throughout the summer, marking a chapter of heavy self examination, longing, and stepping further into who i am as a 32 year old woman” She then continued, “after patterns and my first arena tour, i had the biggest dopamine dump of my adult life and months “off” to really sit in the feelings that were coming up in the stillness and quiet. while i love to be sparkly and confident, i was feeling heavy waves of insecurity that i hadn’t really taken pen to paper about before.”
Before adding, “in feeling so seen by fans and music lovers in my more recent music that has felt more emotionally peeled back and sometimes uncomfortably honest, i felt encouraged to let it all out in the safest way i know how. from the body clock crash outs, to the “who the fuck am i outside of who people tell me i am?”, to the admission and ick of comparison and jealousy, to making peace with the past, to the urgency of checking on your friends and yourself into the future. mount pleasant is a place, a feeling, an uphill journey, and an idea of what’s to come.”
And finished, “welcome to the park ❤️ https://orcd.co/kbmountpleasant“
If you haven’t listened to Ballerini’s music, give it a try. It’s very relatable and speaks to your heart.
The Mt. Pleasant EP is out now.
