Maren Morris is divorcing herself from the music style she acquired well-known in — saying modern-day nation music is unrecognizable to her … and has morphed into pure political posturing.
The singer — who lower her tooth in nation and, for a very long time was thought of a Nashville darling — has gone scorched earth on her friends … this after dropping two new tracks this week that talk to her anger and disillusionment over the place issues stand within the biz.
In one of many music movies for her new songs, Maren might be seen strolling away from a burning city … and she or he hit that time dwelling in a follow-up interview with the LA Times.
She says, “I thought I’d like to burn it to the ground and start over. But it’s burning itself down without my help.” She goes on to say that she feels very distanced from a number of the tales that mainstream nation artists are telling in the present day … including she’s tried avoiding that.
Maren goes on to say that she’s completed attempting to suit her musical type inside the conventional nation paradigm — noting that she finds the complete style stale and out of contact recently.
She goes for the jugular by saying this … “After the Trump years, people’s biases were on full display. It just revealed who people really were and that they were proud to be misogynistic and racist and homophobic and transphobic.”
Maren finishes with this closing thought — “All these things were being celebrated, and it was weirdly dovetailing with this hyper-masculine branch of country music. I call it butt rock.”
While Maren does not title names, she appears to be alluding to Jason Aldean‘s music, ‘Try That in a Small Town,’ amongst others that she apparently feels are too political/hateful.
