Maren Morris’ Album Release is ‘Just A Dream Come True’

Nearly two weeks ago, Maren Morris’ dream came true when she released her debut album, HERO. Since the release, Morris has continued to pinch herself with every sight of her record on a shelf in a store where music is sold.

“I think as just a music junkie myself having my album out, and also having opportunity to make HERO on vinyl, it just feels so validating to me because I love to listen to music in every capacity,” she says. “Whether it’s on the radio, streaming, it’s my personal catalog, or an actual record on a turntable, you know it it’s just surreal that I get to now walk into a store or a record store and see my face there it is just a dream come true.”

The 11-song dream project debuted at No.1 on the country album chart, making it the first debut album of 2016 to take the top spot.

“It’s just a piece of work that has been sitting with me for the last few months, but it’s always exciting to put up new music, because you sort of sit with it, and you’ve written it, and you’ve been in the studio with it for a long time getting to release it out into the world and it being in people’s collections now…is a really exciting feeling, because you get to have feedback, and you get to hear them to get back to you it shows,” the Texas native explained. “It’s just one of the best parts of the processes, the fans finally getting to hear something.”

On Monday (6/13), Morris sent the fan-favorite track “80s Mercedes” to Country radio. The song is the follow up to her RIAA GOLD-certified debut hit, “My Church.”

Fans can catch Morris on the road with Keith Urban throughout the summer on his RipCORD World Tour.
