Ahead of the March 30th release of Kacey Musgraves’ highly-anticipated fourth studio album Golden Hour, Zane Lowe has premiered “High Horse” as his World Record on Beats 1 on Apple Music. The track debuted in over 100 countries, with Zane Lowe proclaiming “High Horse” a “phenomenal pop song and tastefully produced,” and going on to say “wipe your eyes, open your mind, that is a great World Record.” Co-written by Kacey with Trent Dabbs and Thomas Schleiter, “High Horse” offers listeners yet another glimpse into the sonic departure of Golden Hour with its Bee Gees-inspired disco beat and irreverent, no-nonsense lyrics. The track is available instantly upon album pre-order, along with previously released tracks “Space Cowboy” and “Butterflies” (see full track listing below).

“High Horse” is the third track released from Golden Hour, with “Space Cowboy” and “Butterflies” garnering rave reviews across the board from TIME, Rolling Stone, CMT, Consequence of Sound, Noisey, Vulture, Stereogum and Paste, among others. NPR praised “Butterflies” as “stepping easily beyond any genre category with a sunny sense that this is just where country should be these days,” and The FADER proclaimed “Space Cowboy” a “bittersweet, heartbreakingly replayable masterpiece.” Golden Hour will be available to stream 5 days early via NPR Music’s First Listen series this coming Monday, March 26th. Kacey will celebrate the release of Golden Hour with performances on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert March 29th, TODAY March 30th and The Ellen DeGeneres Show on April 4th.
During her recent sold-out headlining performance at London’s iconic O2 Arena as part of this year’s C2C: Country to Country Festival, Kacey announced her upcoming Oh, What A World: Tour. The headlining tour will kick off this fall in Europe, including London’s renowned Wembley Arena with additional dates to be announced. Ahead of her Oh, What A World: Tour, Kacey will play Stagecoach Festival on April 28th and will join Harry Styles on his U.S. tour this summer.
