The "High Horse" singer is set to drop her sixth studio album Deeper Well on March 15. On Feb. 8, Musgraves opened up to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 about creating vulnerability and connection between her and her listeners. “I really do believe in the biggest, most powerful form of connection is vulnerability,” began the seven-time Grammy winner. “So it's like on one hand, I think there's hardly ever any mystery left in life, especially with artists. But at the same time, we're here to connect.” Musgraves explained that artists and audiences “all experience the same emotions.” She revealed that she wants to “f---king put it out there” and not “hold back.” But, Musgraves revealed to Lowe, that being vulnerable “can be scary” because she is “kind of a private person.” Never miss a story — sign up for PEOPLE's free daily newsletter to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.
