Breadwinner - Kacey Musgraves - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Pop music has a long history of documenting heartbreak, offering us a glimpse into the artist's journey from emotional grief to healing. Whether it's Bob Dylan, Marvin Gaye, or Fleetwood Mac, many musicians in recent history have all poured their feelings and emotions out onto tape, thus helping birth a new sub-genre within the modern pop culture canon: the divorce album. Such was the case of country singer-songwriter Kacey Musgraves who, after dazzling audiences and critics alike with her Grammy-winning country-pop masterpiece Golden Hour (2018), parted ways with her husband and collaborator Ruston Kelly in 2020. Her next album, 2021's Star-Crossed, chronicled her marriage's demise while experimenting with a whole host of different genres such as folk, rock, dance music, and psychedelia. "Breadwinner," one of the album's standouts, addresses the subject of fragile masculinity and the problems that arise when women out-earn their husbands. Shortly after its commercial release, the song climbed to Number 36 on the US country charts.
