Country superstar Maren Morris has announced her collaboration with Apple Music to release a brand new EP, Maren Morris: Reimagined.

The EP, engineered by famed producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson, Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell), will feature acoustic takes on current single “GIRL,” the massive pop-crossover hit “The Middle” and “The Bones,” a highlight track on Morris’ latest album.

In conjunction with the EP, Apple Music will roll out an exclusive short film that will take fans behind the scenes of the creative process in the studio as Morris dreams up fresh and organic treatments for the three songs with Cobb and studio musicians.

“I think the mark of a good song is you can rearrange it up and it still is a very defining song. Dave you know, his production is so–rootsy and very soulful and Americana and he just understands that sound so intensely. I love the way it turned out,” shared Morris, as she reflects on the end product of this creation.

Known for her genre-blurring songs and stellar songwriting, the 29-year-old shared how, with songwriting, “you can’t walk in with any ego. It’s just about going in and getting the best song. That’s why so many of my closest friends I met though these co-writes.”

Vulnerability is also key in a writing session, as Morris recalls. “It’s because you learn so much so quickly in a co-write with somebody because you’re like, hi, nice to meet you. Let me bear my soul to you for the next several hours.” 

The Maren Morris: Reimagined EP and accompanying film will drop exclusively on Apple Music on May 31. Fans can stay up to date with all things Maren and her upcoming release HERE.
