A Maren Morris x ‘Girl’ appreciation post.

Maren Morris is back, with her new album ‘GIRL’ out today (March 8th) as a follow-up to the acclaimed ‘HERO’. ‘GIRL’ is the title-track released from the album, and comes accompanied by a powerful video which fills us with even more anticipation for the album.

To celebrate the release of ‘GIRL’, here are five reasons we are excited about it - check them out below…

#1. As well as just being able to appreciate ‘GIRL’ for the marvellous song it is,  Morris has been featured on Genius’ ‘VERIFIED’ series - the first country artist to share her insights on the platform - and she digs deep to talk about the role of women in country music and explain her inspirations behind the song.

#2. She’s best mates with Niall Horan - the pair have toured and performed together, how cool is that! Check them out performing 'Seeing Blind' live in Sydney below:

#3. Greg Kurstin co-produced 3 of the 14 songs on the album - he’s worked with so many of the industry greats, including P!nk, Adele, Sia and Lily Allen - so this album is sure to place her up there with the stars. Listen to one of their songs together - 'Common' - below:

#4. She appeared on Bobby Jones to discuss all the TV shows she’s watching at the moment, and how excited she is for everyone to hear the album.

#5. Last but not least, Maren is coming to New Zealand - she plays in Auckland on August 16th!
