Morris announces acoustic EP
As a companion to the EP, Apple Music will also be releasing a special short film that takes fans behind the scenes in the studio as Morris, who just released the CD "GIRL" earlier this year, shares the meaning behind "GIRL" "The Bones" and "The Middle" while giving each song a new, vocal-centric treatment.
"You can't walk in with any ego," Morris said of songwriting. "It's just about going in and getting the best song. That's why so many of my closest friends I met though these co-writes. It's because you learn so much so quickly in a co-write with somebody because you're like, 'hi, nice to meet you. Let me bear my soul to you for the next several hours.'"
About the EP and working with Dave Cobb, she says: "I think the mark of a good song is you can rearrange it up and it still is a very defining song. Dave you know, his production is so rootsy and very soulful and Americana, and he just understands that sound so intensely. I love the way it turned out."
"GIRL" was produced by busbee and Greg Kurstin.

CD reviews for Maren Morris
Seeing Greg Kurstin listed as the producer on Maren Morris' "Humble Quest" album, can't help but raise a few eyebrows. His resume includes the likes of Pink and Sia, but not many country-related artists. Furthermore, it wasn't too long ago that Morris had big hit with "The Middle," a decidedly pop hit single recorded with the Russian-German producer, Zedd. This album's results are not as overtly pop as that recording, but not as country as her country hit "My Church. ...
Maren Morris, who had a huge pop hit with "The Middle," is never going to be anybody's ideal traditional country singer. Although, thankfully, there isn't anything that mind-numbingly beat-driven on her "GIRL" album, this is a full-length that will likely appeal as much to Morris' pop fans, as her country followers.
The first great song, "A Song For Everything," addresses that mysterious intersection between one's favorite songs and significant life events. ...
Maren Morris scored a hit out of the box with "My Church," the best of 11 songs on her major label full-length debut. The Texan infuses the song she wrote with uber producer busbee (he's worked with everyone from Keith Urban on "Ripcord" to 5 Seconds of Summer and Shakira and is one of three producers here including Morris) with mighty vocals powering a midtempo, soulful reading extolling the redemptive powers of playing music with the windows rolled down. ...
