Next month, Pistol Annies singer Ashley Monroe is set to release The Blade, a new solo album and the follow-up to 2013’s Like a Rose. It’s anchored by “I Buried Your Love Alive,” a twangy, wine-drenched heartache howler (c/o Stereogum). The track burns slowly and brightly as the country singer carefully, precisely takes a lover to task for his indiscretions. “I did what I had to do,” she whispers before launching into the string-dancing chorus. Pick up The Blade on July 24.
