SOUNDS
It’s
a mature and introspective collection that captures an artist at a crossroads
between who she was and who she might go on to be. This makes the album a
compelling and relatable listen for anyone who has experienced growth through
heartache. While not always light-hearted, the album’s depth, honesty and
catchy pop production make it one of Ballerini’s most personal and memorable
releases to date.

Ballerini has (October 25th) released her new album PATTERNS via
Black River Entertainment. Intimate, but pop-inflected, personal, but
somehow universal, PATTERNS reflects the young woman emerging
from divorce and its aftershocks to assess her life with clear-eyed grace and a
future that seems clearly pointed to a well-earned happily ever after.
Working with an all-female creative team, the four-time GRAMMY nominee looked
to longtime collaborator Alysa Vanderheym, Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee
Hillary Lindsey, GRAMMY Songwriter of the Year nominee Jessie Jo Dillon and
Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild to forge a sisterhood in song for the 15-song
cycle that measures her life in far brighter shades. Or as Rolling
Stone opines of the feminine force of creativity, “she sings
about the lifelong power of ride-or-die friendship. What comes out is an album
about turning life lessons into bops and today’s hardships into tonight’s drink
orders.”
PATTERNS offers a judgment-free zone that feels good as it unpacks
the patterns that get in our way and those special friends who pull up and get
you through. Whether it’s the self-accepting perspective of ‘Nothing Really
Matters’, the erotic charge of ‘Deep’, the girlfriends-forever bop ‘I Would,
Would You’ or the ironic ‘We Broke Up’, Ballerini is once again crafting songs
that reflect how life evolves if you’re present and wanting to experience it at
full range of (e)motion. Even ‘Baggage’, with its owning all the pieces of the
journey suggests Ballerini’s as committed to the voyage as she is sharing all
the good, bad and hilarious with her people.
Meanwhile lead single ‘Cowboy’s Cry Too’ featuring Noah Kahan is
continuing to prove a major hit, quickly closing in on 100 million streams as
it climbs country radio in the US and looks forward to the Country Music
Association Awards where it is nominated for ‘Musical Event Of The Year’.
Regarding the new album Ballerini says, “PATTERNS marks the end of my
Saturn return (thank the heavens).The beautiful and brutal look into myself and
the people I love the most. The celebrations and challenges in the name of
betterment, growth, and all-around elevated vibes. The healthy habits that I
hold close and the ones that gotta go."
Ballerini continues, "Written from my truest self, but meant for
you to project onto your own lives and try on for fit. Whether you relate, want
a song to cry in the back of an Uber music video style to,
dramatically/drunkenly tell someone how much you love them, or scream sing
about moments gone wrong before they went right…it’s all yours."
To mark PATTERNS’ release, Ballerini is playing a special
album release concert at Madison Square Garden on October 29th which
sold out in minutes. Truly a bucket list moment, she is celebrating the power
of her emergence as a writer/artist finding a new level of creativity and
connection.
Ballerini is now set to take her captivating live show to another level on her
30-city, three-month US arena tour KELSEA BALLERINI LIVE ON TOUR,
kicking off on January 21st 2025.
