Kacey Musgraves Alexa King Stone Kacey Musgraves shared a music video for “Mexico Honey,” a track off her sixth studio album Middle of Nowhere.
The video was filmed on location in Mexico and directed by Running Bear (Alexa Stone and Stephen Kinigopoulos). A statement notes that the clip “is just as much a tribute to the captivatingly beautiful country of Mexico as it is the passion and experiences that have inspired her there.”
The cinematic video, which tells a love story, takes Musgraves to a neon-lit bar and to the nighttime streets, as well as a jungle, where she strips down completely and holds a snake in a river.
Musgraves released Middle of Nowhere in April. The album features collaborations with Willie Nelson, Miranda Lambert, Billy Strings, and Gregory Alan Isakov, and takes its title from a sign in the East Texas town where Musgraves grew up: “Golden, TX: Somewhere in the Middle of Nowhere.”
“The bulk of this record was made during the longest single period of my life,” Musgraves explained in a statement when she announced the LP. “I found that for the first time, it actually felt incredible being alone and existing in a space not defined by anyone else. I became fascinated with the concept of liminal space, both geographical and emotional. We don’t linger in these transitional, empty spaces long enough and rush to define where or whatever is next.”
