In a press release, the Grammy-nominated, Country Music Association award-winning author and singer-songwriter behind September 2022-released studio album “Subject to Change” has released the just-described song “Penthouse” among five other tracks for “Rolling Up The Welcome Mat,” an EP described as “honest” and “intimate” “postcards and polaroids” from the artist who, alongside recently appearing at New York Fashion Week, has a CMT Storytellers episode debuting on Feb. 16.
Notable too is her November 2022-announced divorce from Australian country performer Morgan Evans. This followed four years of marriage after 18 months of dating.
In various manners, all six songs concern themselves with “sorting through her life completely on her own terms.”
“I was writing by myself for most of the project, and it was nice to trust myself again,” Ballerini writes. “Ironically, I started writing music because my parents got divorced; that was my therapy. Rolling Up The Welcome Mat was how I processed everything. It’s the way I got my feelings out of my body and heart and put them to music, which is the purest way I could’ve handled it.”
