Ballerini

PATTERNS is the 15-song follow-up to Kelsea Ballerini’s GRAMMY-nominated ROLLING UP THE WELCOME MAT. Again teaming with producer/songwriter Alysa Vanderheym, the 30-year-old multiple Country Music Association award winner has delivered a song cycle that embodies the next chapter in a life completely embraced.

What if Taylor Swift had veered back toward Nashville instead of making pop-licious 1989? The result might sound a lot like Subject to Change, the fourth album from Kelsea Ballerini. Not only does she physically sound like Speak Now or Fearless-era Swift on songs like the upbeat title track and the soft and slow ballad "Love Is a Cowboy"—featuring true country fiddle—but Ballerini is also exposing more vulnerability than ever before. Hip-hop-ish "Doin' My Best," with its boosted bass and off-kilter handclaps, is brutally honest about the recent past.

Kelsea Nicole Ballerini (born September 12, 1993) is an American country pop singer and songwriter.

PATTERNS marks the end of my saturn return (thank the heavens).

Included in Rolling Stone’s Most Anticipated Albums of 2020 list, this dynamic collection of Kelsea Ballerini’s latest 13 songs is aptly self-titled – kelsea - not surprising since this is her most authentically, self-aware reflection to date.
