Maren Morris talks about the pride of making her album Hero. (:27)
“We created something that we thought was beautiful but you know I think even if no one is ever heard this album we’re still just as proud of it because we completed it and it’s something that we had to do for her own well emotional well-being. I don’t we’re just all…everyone, all the co-writers, busbee–my co-producer, Brad Hill, just the whole team were all excited. My parents especially.”
Maren Morris talks about her ACM nominated song “My Church.” (:35)
“My song ‘My Church’ has, I mean where do I even begin, it’s just, it’s changed my life in so many ways because you know I’m a new artist getting to hear their song on the radio. I’m getting to see the reaction of the audience when I start that first chord of it, and you know, it’s given me a job basically, it’s given me a career, and a platform, and I feel like I’ve gotten to reach so many more people because of the emotional resonance of that song, and so it’s changed my life in so many ways.”
