Country singer Morgan Wallen expresses anger towards his former managers for making his old music available to the public. In response, Wallen retaliates by releasing a new song.
Country artist Morgan Wallen released a new song called "Spin You Around (1/24)" last Friday as a response to his former managers allegedly releasing old songs without his consent. Wallen explained the situation to his fans in a lengthy Instagram post on Thursday.
According to Wallen, he moved to Florida in 2014 to create and produce his own music. This decision ultimately resulted in him signing a recording contract and an artist management agreement, which he now deeply regrets. Wallen admitted that he made these agreements without seeking legal advice.
According to him, they created a total of 13 songs. While a few of them were satisfactory, the majority were of poor quality due to his lack of experience in songwriting and trying to understand the process. It's important to note that he had other people collaborating with him, which meant that many of these songs were not his own concepts and didn't meet his personal standards.
The singer stated that after the sessions, they produced a five-track EP called Stand Alone. One of the songs on the EP, titled "Spin You Around," gained popularity among fans. Now, after 10 years, the singer's former colleagues are planning to release the original EP again, along with eight previously unreleased songs.

Wallen expressed his disgust and disdain for the situation, highlighting how it exemplifies the negative and rapacious nature of the music industry that can drain artists of their passion and authenticity.
In response, Wallen has announced that he will be re-recording his song "Spin You Around." He is also making a donation of $100,000 from his Morgan Wallen Foundation to the Volunteer Lawyers & Professionals for the Arts program, a Tennessee organization that offers legal assistance to artists. Wallen hopes that young musicians who aspire to make it in the industry will read about his experience and understand that they should never have to sacrifice their creative freedom for an opportunity.
