"High Horse" is where Golden Hour, Kacey Musgraves's fourth studio album, from 2018, puts on its dancing shoes: country pop with a disco pulse. Musgraves wrote it with Trent Dabbs and Tommy English and produced it with Ian Fitchuk and Daniel Tashian, and Fitchuk is practically the whole rhythm section, credited with drums, percussion, bass, bass synth, piano, keyboards and electric guitar. Todd Lombardo adds banjo along with acoustic, classical and electric guitars, David Davidson and Carole Rabinowitz bring violin, viola and cello, and Serban Ghenea's mix keeps it all gleaming.
It became the album's third official single when it went to hot adult contemporary radio that June, and it gave her a first taste of pop radio, climbing to 39 on Billboard's adult pop tally while stopping at 36 on Hot Country Songs.
