Kelsea Ballerini announces new LP ‘Patterns’ drops first song ‘Sorry, Mom’

Kelsea Ballerini attends the 2023 CMT Music Awards at Moody Center on April 2^ 2023 in Austin^ Texas.

Kelsea Ballerini is set to release her upcoming fifth studio album Patterns on Oct. 25, and the four-time Grammy nominated singer-songwriter has previewed the upcoming LP with the song, “Sorry, Mom.”  Ballerini captioned the album’s cover art on Instagram with the caption: “let’s start unpacking…,” alongside an image depicts her seated atop a pile of luggage heaped together on a beach shore.

Ballerini also noted in an Instagram Reel: “What’s a pattern? It’s like a reoccurring sequence of the first thing you reach for, ’cause it’s closest. It’s the first thought you think or the first feeling you feel, or first response you say, the first choice you make. It’s like your second nature, ’cause it’s what you’ve done over and over and over again, and maybe its familial, or generational, it’s been handed down — it’s in our blood, or maybe it’s learned and developed from adapting to life … and maybe some of our patterns are just our own damn fault. I think we have the ability to look at our patterns and find the ones that serve us and then we look at the ones that we don’t want to carry with us and we don’t want to hand down to future us, and you change them. I think that we make patterns so they don’t make us.”

Ballerini shares that Patterns offers an “accurate snapshot” of her life: “I think that people probably expect this really happy-go-lucky, love, mushy, gushy record from me. That’s not the case. And I’m really proud of that. It would have been easy to, I think, just collect the really beautiful parts of my life that I’ve dusted off and found the last couple of years. But that’s not the fullness of my experience.”

Ballerini also shared the new song Sorry, Mom, posting on her socials:  “sorry mom, a love letter to the growth of mother and daughter to woman and woman, is OUT in the world and i couldn’t be more proud to share this song with you. it was one of the first songs i wrote for this album, alongside my 4 dear brilliant magical friends and collaborators (who i had the honor of making all of patterns with), and we hope you love it.”
