25 Year-old Columbia Nashville singer and songwriter Maren Morris has quickly established herself in Nashville’s music community with songwriting and vocal stylings that reflect her country, folk and pop influences, with ‘Rolling Stone‘ touting her “a stellar solo artist in her own right.”
Her hit single “My Church” has risen fast and furious: it entered ‘Billboard’s’ Heatseeker’s chart at number one and has been bounding forward ever since, earning millions of digital streams and scoring Morris numerous accolades like an induction into CMT’s “Next Women of Country” and a spot as one of ‘Rolling Stone Country’s’ Artists You Need to Know.
Country listeners have been needing something meaty, and to know a song like ‘My Church’ can be played on radio and very quickly resonate feels amazing,” she says. “I think the message behind it is so universal – I don’t feel like it’s preaching, and it’s not at all judgmental. It’s not telling you to do anything but enjoy the moment.”
The release of Morris’ debut album is set to land on Friday, June 3rd and will feature eleven tracks, which were all co-written by Morris as well as co-produced the record alongside Mike Busbee, who has also worked with Lady Antebellum and Lauren Alaina.
