Leading up to Halloween, we were all inspired by the idea of this witch, like a glamorous witch of sorts, playing with all of these ingredients and textures and color and scents. We hear songs and they make us feel things emotionally, but what if you could smell a song? What would a song smell like? This was a really unique chance for me and something really fun. I'm seeing where I was when I came up with the idea and how it feels and how it smells. I'm a very visual person, so whenever I'm writing a song, I'm immediately seeing the video. I just think that there's all kinds of humans out there, and it's been beautiful to see a world of possibilities and shapes and colors and opportunities open for everyone.Ĭarl Ostberg/Boy Smells/Kacey Musgraves The promotion for Slow Burn has a real smoldering holiday vibe.

That was definitely a plus to working with them, for sure. I love that Boy Smells has some Texas roots like I do, but they're also a queer brand, and are all about presenting scents in a nonbinary way, packaging included. One of my favorite things in the world is being an ally to the community, supporting that through either my music or my thoughts or the collaborations that I do.

Was gender inclusivity central to your collaboration with Boy Smells? Slow Burn is described as a 'gender agnostic' candle. We're happy to report that today the Slow Burn candle is back, just in time for the holidays and in a new three-wick style, which Boy Smells cofounder Matthew Herman says 'will literally scent your entire home.'Īhead of an unprecedented festive season, the 'Space Cowboy' singer speaks to about her collaboration with Boy Smells, writing new music, and finding inspiration in a tumultuous year. When Musgraves released her first collaboration with Boy Smells, an 'agnostic candle' named after her inimitable song 'Slow Burn,' in February, it sold out within 12 hours and amassed a 15,000-person wait list. Serendipitously, a foray into self-care materialized at just the right time for Musgraves, rekindling her fire with creativity and posing the question, what do songs smell like? Fans will be excited to hear that there's a follow-up to Golden Hour on the way (and in the not-too-distant future) and that the artist is taking her music beyond the studio. Just like the rest of us, Musgraves has been navigating the pandemic by social distancing, spending a whole lot more time at home, and getting lost in her work. 'When all of that goes down, you realize, 'Woah, I've got to figure this out.'' 'I think if you struggle with a bit of anxiety-I definitely carry some of that-a way to escape that is to be constantly busy and to work and be on the move all the time,' the musician tells. From her showstopping appearances at the Oscars and Met Gala to her headlining Oh, What a World Tour to winning four more Grammys (taking her current total to six), Musgraves literally did not stop.īut that all changed at the start of 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic put the world on pause.

It's undeniable that 2019 was an incredible year for Kacey Musgraves.
