Maren Morris' "Dreamsicle" LP ushers in a healing journey, embodying her fresh perspective in life.
ROCKING OUT WITH HONESTY: MAREN MORRIS EMBRACES HER BISexuality AND HER NEW ALBUM
Ever wondered what it takes to be a fearless advocate and an award-winning artist? Well, you're about to find out! Country sensation Maren Morris recently came clean about her bisexuality and let me tell you, her new album 'Dreamsicle' is the sweetest testament to her bold move.
Morris, the 35-year-old powerhouse, thought she was speaking out as an ally when she showed support for the LGBTQ+ community. Little did she know she was also speaking up for herself. In a recent interview, she confessed, "I maybe, internally, hadn't had the bravery to go there [ publicly] in myself, and say the words out loud."
Life, as it often does, threw Morris some curveballs last year - a divorce and a series of learning experiences molded her into the woman we see today. "There's a freedom that I've found in this album," Morris explained, "It's just more wise and lived-in."
Get ready to groove to her 14 exceptional tracks, a blend of country, pop, soft-rock, and dreamy bluegrass vibes. With the help of superstar pop producer Jack Antonoff, Jessie Jo Dillon, Laura Veltz, and The Monsters & Strangerz, Morris delivers an eclectic, yet cohesive piece that might remind you of her signature mix of sounds from 'The Bones.'
The journey wasn't all sunshine and roses, though. Morris poured her heart and soul into her songs, writing through her personal losses, evolutions, and grief. "There were moments where I'm singing on some of these songs where I don't even remember doing the vocal," she shared, "I was just in such a state of loss and grief."
Expect breathtaking track like "grand bouquet," where Morris sings of appreciating daily moments of love, and upbeat poppy songs like "cry in the car" that attempt to mask heartbreak behind catchy beats.
If you thought 'Dreamsicle' were all about heartbreak and heartache, you're wrong! Morris explored new themes, like on the previously released singles "bed no breakfast" and "push me over" – collaborations with the queer-identifying band MUNA.
Morris, who's been embraced by the country music world since coming out, is excelling in her career and personal life. As she gears up for her global tour in July, she reminds us that 'Dreamsicle' isn't a "divorce record" but a celebratory album of healing, a semblance of recovery for her and her fans.
"It deals with grief, but it also deals with the friends that helped patch you back together." Morris said, "It's important to show and to prove to myself that I can process and heal from this."
Morris isn't one to shy away from her personal life, and her courageous announcement has earned her plenty of love and support in Nashville and the country music scene. As the world continues to change, one thing remains certain there's no stopping Maren Morris, as she keeps rocking out with honesty and bringing healing through her music.
