Kelsea Ballerini - Unapologetically

Features "Miss Me More" and "I Hate Love Songs"

Limited time album download included

The second studio album by country pop singer Kelsea Ballerini. In 2014, when Kelsea Ballerini was writing what became her breakout album, the following year's unexpected smash debut The First Time, the Grammy-nominated singer had almost zero time to sketch out its creative nuances.

Having long been signed exclusively as a songwriter to the independent label Black River Entertainment, Ballerini was writing songs with the expectation they'd be cut by other artists. "And then all of a sudden I had a record deal and it was time to make an album," she recalls with a laugh of the whirlwind months that preceded The First Time.

Not surprisingly, Rolling Stone reports, her experience recording its much-anticipated follow-up, Unapologetically, was a decidely more deliberate affair. "This is the first intentional album I've ever made," says Ballerini, who scored three consecutive No. 1 singles off her debut with "Love Me Like You Mean It," "Peter Pan" and "Dibs." "From writing it to creating it to making all the tracks, just all of it. So it's definitely a different kind of involvement than I've had before."

Produced with Jason Massey and Forest Glen Whitehead, Unapologetically gains in strength as it goes along, writes Paste magazine. It mirrors Ballerini's push away from a particular lover and toward the welcoming arms of a new beau.
