American country pop singer-songwriter Kelsea Ballerini released her brand new song “First Rodeo” on October 16, 2024.
The song isthe fourth single off her upcoming fifth studio album “PATTERNS”, following “Cowboys Cry Too” with Noah Kahan, “Sorry Mom”, and “Two Things”.
The new album is set to be released on October 25, 2024 via Black River Entertainment.
The track offers a young woman willing to seek, but speaking to the tentatively that being hurt can create.
It was written by Alysa Vanderheym, Hillary Lindsey, Jessie Jo Dillon, Karen Fairchild, and Kelsea Ballerini. Produced by Kelsea Ballerini and Alysa Vanderheym
“Listen, there’s a reality that an inner monologue post public breakup is, ‘I feel washed up on the heart front. I feel like I don’t know how to do this anymore,'” Kelsea Ballerini said of the song. “But at the end of the day, choosing love is bigger, and the honesty of saying please take it slow and be patient with me can actually be a beautiful and connective moment. ‘First Rodeo’ encapsulates that conversation, and more so, that decision within self to be vulnerable and open and allowing the hope of it all to seep back in.”- The accompanying music video was directed by P Tracy.
Kelsea Ballerini said, “The visuals are meant to show the emotion, duality, feelings, and landscape of this record. But as much as it’s personal and my own art and life, it’s kind of at the point now that it turns into a shared relationship…where it becomes a different meaning to everyone. Truly, that’s why I can’t wait to play this record live and see how it all connects outside of my own journey. Until then, I feel like 'First Rodeo' is the perfect final taste of the storyline and heart of PATTERNS.” - source : Apple Music
