Most artists don’t top Rolling Stone’s Best Country Albums of the year list with their debut album. But most artists aren’t Morgan Wade, who earned the top spot with her scathingly honest and raw 2021 LP ‘Reckless’. While ‘Reckless’, and its Top 30 lead single ‘Wilder Days,’ busted down the doors and introduced Wade as a once-in-a-generation songwriter, she now readies her anticipated follow-up project, ‘Psychopath’, arriving August 25the via Sony Music Nashville.
Pre-save/pre-add/pre-order HERE and listen to the solo-written title track Friday, May 19.
“Regardless of what people say about ‘Psychopath’, I’m proud because I feel like it showcases where I’m at with my sophomore album,” said Wade. “I have no choice but to be authentic. And I have to feel what I feel. And right now, I’m really feeling the music.”
An astounding 13-track LP crafted with the help of notable musical talents, from A-list songwriters to studio musicians and Wade’s longtime producer-guru/song whisperer Sadler Vaden, ‘Psychopath’ most excitingly finds Wade peeling back layers of her psyche like never before.
A relentless writer, Wade had penned what would become the album’s title track and as far back as the weeks leading up to ‘Reckless’’ release. A one-take meditation on “being so engrossed in someone, it’s like “What the hell was I doing before I met you? I don’t even fucking know!” Don’t let the title fool you: “When you look at the title, you don’t assume that’s a love song. But it is,” she said. “I kinda dig that.”.
A Virginia native, Wade has broken away from the pack to become one of country music’s most compelling new voices. Possessed with a raw and unflinching voice anchored by a perfect tinge of twang; the rare ability to pen honest portraits of some of life’s most precious and painful and unpredictable moments; and an onstage vulnerability that so seamlessly breaks down the wall between fan and artist, Wade has quickly made her mark on the country music scene — and the music world at large – with nominations for ACM New Female Artist of the Year, Americana Music Association Emerging Act of the Year, and CMT Breakthrough Female Video of the Year.
