MORGAN WALLEN PUTS HIS HEART ON THE LINE IN “MORE THAN MY HOMETOWN”

As teased during Thomas Rhett’s Bud Light Dive Bar Tour: Home Edition livestream last Friday night (4/10), Morgan Wallen’s brand-new track “More Than My Hometown” is now available at all streaming platforms and digital retailers. The introspective tune gives fans another glimpse into his highly-anticipated sophomore album due out this year on Big Loud Records, and follows New Year’s surprise release, “This Bar.”

Co-written by Wallen with Michael Hardy, Ernest Keith Smith and Ryan Vojtesak and produced by ACM Producer of the Year nominee Joey Moi, the last-stand anthem settles on a romantic crossroads where two paths are destined to split. With sunset sonics and a nostalgic vocal, it’s far from a bitter sendoff, filled instead with compassion and inner conflict as the gravel-voiced hitmaker wanes vulnerable and aims to prove he’s enough.

The critically acclaimed country renegade continues his hot streak with a slew of new achievements, earning his first-ever ACM nomination for New Male Artist of the Year and recently topping 2.5 BILLION total career streams. His first-ever chart-topper “Up Down” just doubled down on PLATINUM certifications from the RIAA, matching his most-recent chart-dominating #1, 2X PLATINUM “Whiskey Glasses,” while current GOLD-certified single “Chasin’ You” races towards Country radio’s top spot, climbing inside the Top 5 this week.
