Country artist Morgan Wallen expresses anger towards his former managers for releasing his old music without his consent. In response, Wallen retaliates by releasing a new song.
Country singer Morgan Wallen released a new song called "Spin You Around (1/24)" on Friday as a response to his former managers allegedly releasing some of his old songs without his consent. Wallen took to Instagram to inform his fans about the situation in a lengthy post on Thursday.
Wallen relocated to Florida in 2014 with the intention of creating and recording his own music. During this time, he entered into agreements for both a recording deal and an artist management deal, both of which he now expresses regret over. Wallen admits that he made these agreements without seeking legal advice or consultation.
According to him, a total of 13 songs were created. While a few were decent, the majority of them were awful since he was still in the process of learning how to write and understand it all. He also mentioned that he had other collaborators involved, which resulted in some of the songs not aligning with his own ideas or meeting his personal standards.
The singer stated that after those recording sessions, they produced a five-track EP called Stand Alone. One of the songs on the EP, called "Spin You Around," became popular 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 disdain towards the situation, describing it as repulsive, selfish, and a clear illustration of how the negative aspects of the music industry can drain artists of their passion and creativity.
In response, Wallen states that he plans to re-record his song "Spin You Around" and is also donating $100,000 from his Morgan Wallen Foundation to the Volunteer Lawyers & Professionals for the Arts program. This organization in Tennessee offers legal advice to artists. Wallen hopes that aspiring musicians will learn from his story and understand that they should never have to sacrifice their creative freedoms for opportunities in the music industry.
