凯西·马斯格雷夫斯宣布新专辑：16首歌含4首西班牙语作品，2027年1月15日发行
美国乡村歌手凯西·马斯格雷夫斯（Kacey Musgraves）10月22日宣布，将于2027年1月15日通过 Lost Highway Records 发行新专辑《Middle of Nowhere Vol. 2: Tex Mex Tapes》。这张专辑是她今年5月发行的《Middle of Nowhere》的姊妹篇，共收录16首歌曲，包括11首原创作品和5首翻唱作品，其中4首以西班牙语全程演唱，延续了前作对美国德州与墨西哥之间音乐与文化联系的探索。
歌迷不必等到明年1月才能听到新歌。专辑中的《Weekend In Texas》和翻唱自北方民谣（Norteño）经典的《Mi Tesoro》两首歌，已定于10月23日午夜先行上线。专辑还收录了她与墨西哥乐队 Intocable 合作的《Uncertain, TX》西班牙语版、与 Mariachi Oro De América 在 Mexico City 现场录制的《Tú Solo Tú》，以及对 George Strait 名曲的翻唱《All My Exes (Kacey's Version)》和 Freddy Fender 的《Before the Next Teardrop Falls》。
据唱片公司介绍，这张专辑承接前作的主题，继续书写独处、知足，以及在「未定之地」中发现美。马斯格雷夫斯今年早些时候谈到这一创作阶段时说：「我在很多意义上都安于身处『无处之中』，安于那种未被定义的不适感。」
专辑的完整曲目为：1. Pretty Horses；2. Weekend In Texas；3. Hard Conversations；4. Denim On Denim；5. Figure Out My Life；6. Caballero；7. The Vacation Song；8. (Hey Baby) Qué Pasó?；9. Uncertain, TX（西班牙语版，feat. Intocable）；10. Mi Tesoro；11. Rodeo；12. Tú Solo Tú（feat. Mariachi Oro De América，Mexico City 现场版）；13. All My Exes (Kacey's Version)；14. Desert Eyes；15. Pity Party；16. Before the Next Teardrop Falls。
马斯格雷夫斯目前正在北美举行《Middle of Nowhere》巡回演出，10月22日晚唱进 Oakland，巡演将于10月26日至27日在 Seattle 收官。她同时以5项提名进入将于11月18日在 Nashville 举行的第60届 CMA Awards，包括年度专辑、年度女歌手，以及凭《Dry Spell》入围的年度歌曲与年度音乐录影带，和与 Miranda Lambert 合唱《Horses and Divorces》的年度音乐事件。
Kacey Musgraves Announces New Album: 16 Tracks Including Four Sung in Spanish, Out January 15, 2027
American country singer Kacey Musgraves announced on October 22 that she will release a new album, Middle of Nowhere Vol. 2: Tex Mex Tapes, on January 15, 2027, through Lost Highway Records. The 16-track collection is a companion to Middle of Nowhere, released in May, and further explores the musical and cultural ties between Texas and Mexico, with 11 original songs, five covers and four tracks sung entirely in Spanish.
Listeners will not have to wait until January for a first taste. Two songs from the album, "Weekend In Texas" and her rendition of the Norteño classic "Mi Tesoro," are set for release at midnight on October 23. The album also includes a Spanish-language version of "Uncertain, TX" featuring Mexican group Intocable, "Tú Solo Tú" recorded live in Mexico City with Mariachi Oro De América, a cover of George Strait's "All My Exes Live in Texas" titled "All My Exes (Kacey's Version)," and a rendition of Freddy Fender's "Before the Next Teardrop Falls."
According to the label, the new set expands on the first album's themes of solitude, contentment and finding beauty in the in-between. Earlier this year, Musgraves said of this creative period: "I became so at ease with being in the 'middle of nowhere' in many senses and sitting in the un-comfort of the undefined."
The full track listing is: 1. Pretty Horses; 2. Weekend In Texas; 3. Hard Conversations; 4. Denim On Denim; 5. Figure Out My Life; 6. Caballero; 7. The Vacation Song; 8. (Hey Baby) Qué Pasó?; 9. Uncertain, TX (Spanish version, feat. Intocable); 10. Mi Tesoro; 11. Rodeo; 12. Tú Solo Tú (feat. Mariachi Oro De América, Live in Mexico City); 13. All My Exes (Kacey's Version); 14. Desert Eyes; 15. Pity Party; 16. Before the Next Teardrop Falls.
Musgraves is currently winding down her North American arena tour in support of Middle of Nowhere, which played Oakland on October 22 and wraps October 26–27 in Seattle. She heads into the 60th CMA Awards, to be broadcast live from Nashville on November 18, with five nominations, including Album of the Year and Female Vocalist of the Year, Song of the Year and Music Video of the Year for "Dry Spell," and Musical Event of the Year for "Horses and Divorces" with Miranda Lambert.
