Twenty-nine-year-old Columbia Nashville artist and songwriter MAREN MORRIS’ sophomore album GIRL shattered the record for the largest ever debut streaming week for a country album by a woman, with 23.96 million streams in its first week. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, while the title track achieved the Highest Debut on the Country Streaming Chart by a Female Artist and the Highest Weekly Streams by a Female Country Artist with 3.3 million audio streams.
 
Proving why Morris is “the future of country music” (TIME), GIRL has been lauded as “a 14-song collection showcasing Morris at her prime, swerving lanes between genres while maintaining her deep and respectful country roots” (GQ). Featuring tour-de-force collaborations with Brandi Carlile and Brothers Osborne, the album was produced by Morris with busbee and Greg Kurstin. 
 
Just as her debut album was making its way out to the masses in 2016, Morris at the same time was turning her voice from songs of heartbreak and love lost, into songs of love found and the joy of being with the one you want. Three years later, those tones are realized on GIRL; from the intense ache to be with a lover in “RSVP,” to the inner workings of her marriage to artist Ryan Hurd in “Good Woman” and “To Hell & Back,” Morris, paints the vivid portrait of the world seen through her eyes. Deliberate in everything she does, Morris closes GIRL with “Shade,” and for good reason. Just as HERO finished with heart-crushing track “Once,” deciding to finish GIRL with “Shade,” is Morris showing her listeners how a person can move from loss to gain, and that one can be happy, and healthy, in that.
 
Morris is currently headlining GIRL: THE WORLD TOUR with support acts Cassadee Pope and RaeLynn on select dates across the U.S., Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
