After 2016's Hero won her big awards from the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association, Maren Morris took a left turn with the Top 40 pop smash "The Middle," a collaboration with electro producer Zedd. So it's no surprise that her follow-up blurs genre lines. "I'm cooking up my own flavor...making a mess straight outta scratch," she sings on the sassy "Flavor," which uses bro-country guitars and moody pop atmospherics to hammer home the point. There are some moments of purity: the terrific "All My Favorite People" ropes in country duo Brothers Osborne and lifts its melody from Dolly Parton's "9 to 5". With its slide guitars and shuffling drums, "To Hell and Back" would be right at home on a Miranda Lambert record. But mostly, Morris channels the queen of the middle, Sheryl Crow, as on the bouncy "Feels" and the folksy "A Song for Everything." She also adopts the social themes du jour, calling for unity on "Common" (which features a guest turn from Brandi Carlile) and sisterhood support on "Girl." Morris tries hard at being the popular girl, and it works. © Qobuz
