Morgan Wallen expresses his dissatisfaction with the release of his new song "Spin You Around" and unexpectedly drops a new version of it. It appears that Wallen had no intentions of re-recording or re-releasing the song initially and was not enthusiastic about it.
On Friday, the musician delighted his fans by sharing a beautiful acoustic love song. He took the opportunity to explain that his decision, which was made a decade ago, ultimately led him to create this
Furthermore, Wallen criticized the timing of the release and expressed negative opinions about the music.
Associated: Morgan Wallen curates a compilation of the top 40 songs that have been played the most over the past half-century.
According to his statement, the person admits that while some of the songs they wrote were decent, the majority turned out to be awful. This was mainly because they were still in the process of grasping the fundamentals of writing and trying to navigate through it. They clarify that they were not the sole contributor to these songs, implying that many of them were not their original concepts and
Morgan Wallen's EP called "Stand Alone" has garnered almost 400 million streams on Spotify. One of the songs, "Spin You Alone," in its previous version alone has reached 240 million streams. The EP also includes tracks like "Sleep When We're Dead" and "Yin Yang Girl." While the project has a country-rock sound, it still incorporates the hip-hop influence that Wallen has become recognized for.
Paul Trust and Sergio Sanchez, who is the lead vocalist of the rock band Atom Smash, collaborated with Wallen as co-writers for all 13 songs. Although these songs may not have the same level of intensity as the music he would later produce, fans will still be able to identify the familiar rhythm in new tracks like "Going Down" and the relaxed melody in songs like "Scared to Live Without You."
During the year 2014, Wallen participated in Season 6 of The Voice. Therefore, it is probable that the songwriting session for these songs took place shortly after that, around 18-24 months before he eventually signed with Big Loud Records. Wallen does not reject the fact that he recorded for Panacea and entered into an artist management agreement.
Regrettably, I agreed to both contracts without the presence or assistance of a lawyer, clarifies Wallen.

Wallen is accompanied by piano and acoustic guitar on the song "Afterglow," which appears to be aimed at fans of soft rock from the early 2000s. In other tracks like "Man of the South" and "Bonfire Jam," the intention seems to be to attract a commercial rock audience. However, if producer Trust decides to lead with this set of songs, it is unlikely that he will receive new work in Nashville.
Morgan Wallen clarifies that his recently released album is not his upcoming project. However, he assures fans that he will be back in the studio to record new music in February.
"He feels uncomfortable or embarrassed when he listens to these songs," he explains.
Joey Moi took charge of producing the fresh acoustic version of "Spin You Around," which Wallen gave his official consent to. Wallen reveals that he recorded this version in Nashville earlier this week, and he also took on the responsibility of creating the song's cover art.
In an act of paying it forward, he has chosen to contribute $100,000 from the Morgan Wallen Foundation to support the Volunteer Lawyers & Professionals for the Arts initiative. This donation aims to assist young musicians who may encounter similar challenges along their journey.
