***Kansas Anymore*** is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter [Role Model](/source/Role_Model_(singer)), released on July 19, 2024, by [Interscope](/source/Interscope_Records) and [Polydor Records](/source/Polydor_Records). Executive produced by Noah Conrad,[2] the album explores [indie-folk](/source/Indie_folk) and [country](/source/Country_music) influences, departing from the [alt-pop](/source/Alt-pop) style of 2022's *[Rx](/source/Rx_(album))*. The album features a guest appearance from [Lizzy McAlpine](/source/Lizzy_McAlpine) on the track "So Far Gone". Its title is a reference to a scene from the 1939 film *[The Wizard of Oz](/source/The_Wizard_of_Oz)* – wherein, after arriving in Oz, [Dorothy Gale](/source/Dorothy_Gale) (played by [Judy Garland](/source/Judy_Garland)) remarks to her dog [Toto](/source/Toto_(Oz)): "I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore."

*Kansas Anymore* was preceded by the release of four singles—"Oh, Gemini", "Deeply Still in Love", "Look at That Woman" and "Scumbag". A [deluxe edition](/source/Deluxe_edition), sub-titled *The Longest Goodbye*, was released on February 14, 2025. The reissue features four new songs, including the single "[Sally, When the Wine Runs Out](/source/Sally,_When_the_Wine_Runs_Out)", a country-inspired track that went [viral](/source/Going_viral) on social media, and Role Model's first to reach the *[Billboard](/source/Billboard_(magazine))* charts.[1] An acoustic version of "The Longest Goodbye" featuring Icelandic singer-songwriter [Laufey](/source/Laufey_(singer)) served as the 6th single, released on July 9, 2025.[citation needed]

To support the album, Role Model accompanied [Gracie Abrams](/source/Gracie_Abrams) on [the Secret of Us Tour](/source/The_Secret_of_Us_Tour) (2024–2025) as an opener at select stops, before embarking on the No Place Like Tour in 2025.[3]

## Critical reception

*[Pitchfork](/source/Pitchfork_(website))'*s critic Brady Brickner-Wood labeled Kansas Anymore as a "step in the right direction" for Role Model, with the album's personality and songcraft being more mature and palatable than any of his past work. He further stated that the album seems "less concerned with landing a hit than it does building a sturdy home to hang out in."[4] Kate Tocke of ACRN called the *Kansas Anymore (The Longest Goodbye)* tracks a nearly-perfect add-on to an already great album that gives fans "more to wonder about and depth about his storytelling heartbreak."[5]

## Commercial performance

*Kansas Anymore* peaked at number ten on the *[Billboard](/source/Billboard_(magazine))* [Top Alternative Albums](/source/Top_Alternative_Albums) chart, and has earned 282,000 [equivalent album units](/source/Equivalent_album_unit), as of September 2025.[6]
