Maren Morris is kicking off a new era with the release of ‘Circles Around This Town’.
The song arrives with a music video directed by Harper Smith. ‘Circles Around This Town’ was written by Morris with her husband and fellow Country star Ryan Hurd along with Julia Michaels and Jimmy Robbins.
The track was produced by Jimmy Robbins and fans can be rest assured that more new music is on the way very soon.
Morris says: “I could see the visuals for ‘Circles Around This Town’ the moment I wrote the song. I’ve always been so inspired by the industrial, blown out colors of music videos from the 90s, so Harper Smith and I wanted the aesthetics of this video to reflect that grainy, devil-may-care attitude of all my females heroes from that era: Sheryl, Fiona, Alanis. Obviously, having a penchant for the nostalgic, we decided to recreate my teenage bedroom and pin old photos of me as a kid on the walls and have me typing on an old PC computer. I knew I didn’t want to take anything too seriously in this video, so all our amplified ‘signs of the universe’ are purposefully campy, but they also ask the viewer, ‘Is the universe actually showing you signs or do you just know when you need to make a real change?’ ‘Circles Around This Town’ is my story, so I felt like I truly got to relive my journey from Texas to Nashville again.”
Morris is nominated for two Grammy awards this year: Best Country Song for ‘Better Than We Found It’ and Best Country Duo/Group Performance for ‘Chasing After You’ with Ryan Hurd.
