Maren Morris - a new Texas dawn

With Hero, Maren Morris has made a pretty big impression on the country scene. After a few self-produced albums, the 26-year-old singer-songwriter has signed off on her first real studio album, which has been released on Columbia Nashville. The result is a stunning smorgasbord of contemporary country with more than a nod towards classic R 'n B (How it's Done) and pop (Just Another Thing). So, even though Maren Morris's music finds its roots squarely in country territory, you can feel that the young Texan is in step with contemporary music, keeping her ears open to a broad range of influences. Authentic lyrics combine with a magnetic voice, revealing one of the undoubted new stars of 2016, and a name that's bound to feature in the award ceremonies once the year is over.
