Maren Morris Has a New Mission: ‘Explain Less and Let the Music Speak For Me’


Maren Morris, Billboard's 2024 Women in Music Visionary, reflects on country music, artists navigating genres, 'The Bridge' and more.

Morris released her major-label debut, Hero, in 2016, featuring the breakout single “My Church,” for which she won her first Grammy (for best country solo performance). Now Billboard ‘s 2024 Women in Music Visionary feels lighter — and more excited — than ever as she embarks upon writing her next chapter, which she’ll do under Columbia New York rather than the label’s Nashville outpost she has long called home. I feel like both of their résumés are so musically unbound — I’ve been pretty all over the map with songs of my own, but when you choose a producer, you’re hoping that they have the same melting pot of influences and don’t care about genre.
