“A lot of new artists sign their deal and then go into a development st...” — Maren Morris Quote

A lot of new artists sign their deal and then go into a development stage for a year or two or sometimes never get out of it. For me, because I had been a working songwriter in town, I had a collection of songs that I was ready to make into an album. At the time, I didn't realize it was becoming an album, but it was.

I'm a control freak, even though I can be scatterbrained off stage. The only way I can have fun is if I know where everything is.

Nashville has become sort of this go-to writing city for every genre.

Sheryl Crow. I loved her 'Tuesday Night Music Club.' She expressed her own point of view, and she wasn't trying to be like anyone else, and I loved that. That's been the thinking of all my favorite artists.

The economy is a collection of emotions.

I'm a jeans person; I love Abercrombie. My shoe collection is composed mostly of Chucks and a few pairs of girly ones.

I wouldn't include a piece in my collection that I wouldn't wear personally.

I have been obsessed with sunglasses for a very, very long time, so it was a natural fit for me to partner with Prive Revaux on my own collection.

Growing up, I didn't come from a musical family. Neither of my parents played an instrument, sang out loud, or listened to the radio with frequency. The record collection in the living room was only about 2 feet long - and that included 4 solid inches of Neil Diamond and Herb Alpert.
