Kelsea Ballerini To Release New Project ‘ballerini’ On Sept. 11
Kelsea Ballerini is set to debut her new album ballerini on Sept. 11 via Black River Entertainment.
The project features stripped-down renditions of the 13 pop-polished songs that appeared on her March 2020 release, kelsea.
While in quarantine, Ballerini deconstructed each song and re-recorded everything with minimal accompaniment, instead focusing on letting each song’s melody and lyrics lead the way.
The first song off the new album, “club (ballerini album version),” is out today.
“kelsea is glitter: bold and effervescent and dreams that are boundless. She’s who I want to be. While ballerini is emotional, vulnerable, soft: observes her surroundings and chooses her words carefully. She’s who I am. The album ballerini is the result of the wonder and gets down to the heart of it. Introducing ballerini…the other side of the same story,” Ballerini said.
The singer-songwriter is nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year at the upcoming Academy of Country Music Awards on Sept. 16. She also recently released the video for “hole in the bottle,” directed by Hannah Lux Davis.
