Country music artist Maren Morris has recently surprised her fans by releasing two brand new songs and music videos under an EP titled “The Bridge.” The songs, titled “The Tree” and “Get The Hell Out Of Here,” showcase Morris’s dissatisfaction with certain aspects of the country music genre and her desire to distance herself from toxic elements.
In these two captivating music videos, Morris portrays a small town that is facing destruction. Interestingly, she includes references to other country songs, including Jason Aldean’s “Try That in a Small Town.” It’s worth noting that Morris had previously disputed Aldean’s song in a tweet, making this inclusion even more intriguing.
What makes these new releases even more significant is Morris’s hint at potentially leaving the country music genre entirely. The lyrics in “The Tree” express her frustration with dishonesty, and it becomes evident that she has come to realize that the industry is already in decline. This realization may explain her desire to distance herself from the toxic elements she sees within the genre.
One major development that could indicate a significant shift in Morris’s future sound is her collaboration with producer Jack Antonoff, known for his work with pop sensation Taylor Swift. This collaboration could potentially steer Morris towards a more pop-infused sound, appealing to a wider audience beyond the country music realm.
Excitingly, Morris is currently working on a new LP with Antonoff, dropping hints that this upcoming album may mark a turning point in her musical career. While details about the album remain scarce, fans can anticipate an exploration of new sounds and a departure from her traditional country music roots.
As fans eagerly await Maren Morris’s highly anticipated LP with Jack Antonoff, it’s clear that the country music artist is determined to evolve and transform her sound. With these two powerful new songs and thought-provoking music videos, Morris’s dissatisfaction with the current state of the genre is palpable. It will be fascinating to see where her musical journey takes her next and how her fans react to this new direction.
