Morgan Wallen expresses his dissatisfaction with the release of his new record and unexpectedly drops a revised version of his song "Spin You Around." It seems that Wallen had no intentions of re-recording or re-releasing the track, and he even appeared reluctant to do so.
The artist released the heartfelt acoustic love song to his followers on Friday, revealing that he was compelled to do so due to a choice he made a decade ago.
Besides criticizing the timing of the release, Wallen also spoke negatively about the music.
Morgan Wallen curates a compilation of the 40 songs that have been played the most over the past five decades.
The writer expresses that while some of the songs he worked on were acceptable, the majority of them were of poor quality. This was mainly because he was still in the process of learning how to write and was trying to understand the whole process. He clarifies that he wasn't the sole contributor to these songs, so many of them were not his concepts and did not meet his
Morgan Wallen's Stand Alone EP has garnered almost 400 million streams on Spotify, with the previous rendition of "Spin You Alone" alone amassing 240 million streams. The EP also features tracks like "Sleep When We're Dead" and "Yin Yang Girl." While the project maintains 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 singer of the rock band Atom Smash, have collaborated with Wallen to co-write all 13 songs on this album. Although these songs may not possess the same intensity as Wallen's later music, fans will still be able to identify familiar beats in new tracks like "Going Down," as well as appreciate the soothing melody in songs like "Scared to Live Without You."
Wallen participated in the sixth season of The Voice in 2014. Therefore, it is likely that the songwriting session that resulted in these songs took place shortly after that, around 18-24 months before he eventually signed with Big Loud Records. Wallen does not refute the fact that he recorded for Panacea and entered into an artist management agreement.
Regrettably, Wallen clarifies that he agreed to both contracts without seeking the assistance of a lawyer.
"2 of Us Alone" serves as an instance of a regrettable song. It features a lackluster musical arrangement that accompanies a vocalist who is hardly recognizable in the year 2024.
Wallen is accompanied by piano and acoustic guitar on "Afterglow," a track that appears to be aimed at fans of soft rock from the early 2000s. In other songs like "Man of the South" and "Bonfire Jam," the focus shifts towards appealing to a commercial rock audience. If producer Trust were to release this set of songs as his debut in Nashville, it is unlikely that he would receive new opportunities for work in the city.
Morgan Wallen wants to clarify to his fans that the recently released album is not his upcoming project. However, he reassures them that he will be back in the studio to record new music in February.
He expresses discomfort and embarrassment when he listens to these songs.
Joey Moi took charge of producing the latest acoustic rendition of "Spin You Around," which was given the green light. Wallen reveals that he recorded it in Nashville this week and he was also responsible for creating the song's cover art.
In an act of goodwill, he has made the decision to contribute $100,000 from the Morgan Wallen Foundation towards the Volunteer Lawyers & Professionals for the Arts program. This initiative aims to support aspiring musicians who may encounter similar challenges along their journey.
