A divorce was announced in late August this year but if you are expecting some sort of raw, emotional Carly Pearce style ’29: Written in Stone’ biopic then you are going to be sadly disappointed. The elephant in the room, with new album ‘Subject to Change’, however, is that it was birthed during the (surprising, to us, at least) breakdown of her marriage to fellow Country artist, Morgan Evans.
Songs with both Shania Twain and Kenny Chesney have yielded huge smash hits as this talented artist attempted to straddle multiple genres with her honest, raw and yet artfully crafted music. Whatever disruption Ballerini has brought to the world of Country music, whether it be collaborations with Halsey, touring with the Jonas Brothers or duets with The Chainsmokers, she has always kept one eye on the more conservative and insular world of Nashville. Of course, as we’ve seen in the wider world over the past few years, some people can cope with change and some people can’t. From her debut album, ‘The First Time’ in 2015, which changed her life, through the ‘Unapologetically’ era in which an artist on their second record attempted to make a concept album, and on into the ‘kelsea’ and the subsequent ‘ballerini’ albums, which saw her flirting with the Pop world and the bright lights of California: change has always been part of Ballerini’s DNA. Kelsea Ballerini has never been afraid of change.
