Star-Crossed: The Film

What can I say? Kacey is a fairly typical contemporary artist making mainstream music I have no idea how to categorise. I don't necessarily like it, but that doesn't make it bad, a lot of people do.

Well, the film is her singing in weird settings with other rather attractive, suggestively clad women wearing odd clothes. I liked the women. Cant say fairer than someone with good taste chose them.

Good for background visuals, or playing on big screens at a party before things get going.

Kacey is the real thing. She writes amazing songs and has a style and approach all her own. I was mesmerized from beginning to end. And I felt like it told a cohesive story in an extremely artistic way.

It's weird writing this as a super fan of Kacey Musgraves. I adore her. Have seen her thrice, with my favorite show being Nashville. So to say I wasn't blown away by this truly speaks something.

I am a collector of art-house and horror, cult westerns, spaghetti and forgotten films. I see what Miss Kacey was going for here, but as a linear story and visual album, nothing made sense. Nothing. There was no story, no plot except bare threads in between songs linking THEM to one another, not all songs as a whole album. The visuals, the sets, the nods, the makeup, the costumes? 10/10. Kacey and her crew have never looked better. I enjoyed seeing Victoria Pedretti, SIMONE and Princess Nokia, it's just a shame that the segment they were in held now weight because it didn't link to anything. It was a music video, and the starring one of the visual album.

I wanted more, that's what it equals up to. I just wanted more. I wanted epic, I wanted beauty, and if a connection between all segments was going to be attempted, I wanted it to be coherent. This just felt like a very long music video, with recycled elements from the other videos throughout. I still love you Kacey, and adore this album, but the visual album was a miss for me.

I've loved Kacey since the very beginning of her career, but this visual album was a complete misfire, both visually and sonically. Basically it's maybe one or two music videos worth of content stretched into a forty eight minute snooze fest. Nothing about it was particularly interesting or thought provoking. Most of the imagery and symbolism was trite and uninspired. There were a couple of decent songs, but the mastering of said songs was so overly loud that it sounded like it could clip at any moment. Kacey, who I think has a sweet and bell-like voice, came off as an amateur vocalist in a way I didn't expect from her. She seemed very out of her comfort zone. Overall , I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who isn't foaming at the mouth for more content from her.

She is an artist and she could have easily sold out but she didn't. I thought this was visually such a fun ride and artistically beautiful. Kacey is the real deal and it's too bad their isn't really a place for me in today's music landscape.
