Texas native Maren Morris is hastily becoming a household name in country music industry as her first single, “My Church,” quickly climbs the charts. Classified as the quintessential car ballad, Maren contrived “My Church” to be the song you blare as you become adrift in the narrative.
Windows down, radio up, we all have our go-to song that we sing at the top of our lungs – this song perfectly encompasses that. This striking folk gospel tune illustrates how music can be the perfect retreat – with references to Johnny Cash and Hank Williams, it is clear who has inspired Maren along the way.
And I need to find my escape
I just keep the wheels rolling, radio scrolling
Until my sins wash away
Music has healing powers, and singer/songwriters like Maren provide fans a moment in time where they can discover themselves and feel rejuvenated. She also has a voice that sounds refined and older than her years – her vintage country twang makes “My Church” feel like it’s been around for generations. The fortitude of Maren’s voice in the chorus is graceful and simple:
I find my soul revival
Singing every single verse
Yeah I guess that’s my church
Catch Maren this summer on Keith Urban’s Ripcord Tour. “My Church” is available where digital music is sold.
