Morgan Wade Announces New Album, ‘The Party Is Over (recovered)’

I can’t wait.

This morning, Morgan Wade announced a new album The Party Is Over (recovered), which is her fourth studio album and follows the release of Obsessed last year. This project includes 11 songs that she wrote solo, though quite a few of them were written before Wade signed her major-label deal and have been “recovered” here with all-new versions.

She picked through older songs that still speak to her today, and many of them she has been playing on tour and have become fan-favorites even though they were never cut or put on an album.

Morgan shared the news in a post on Instagram, thanking fans for all of their support over the years and explaining why she wanted to go back into the archive and include many songs that have meant a lot to her, and to some fans, for a long time:

“A lot of you have been here for a long time listening and supporting me. That means some of you were here before I ever put out my debut record. You heard songs that were demos and early recordings that no longer exist. I wanted to put these songs back into the world and give them life again. Showcase that chapter of my life, and throw in some new songs too.

While these songs might be new to a lot of you, they are old friends to some of you — definitely old friends to me. Hope you enjoy and thanks for everything. New album out August 1st, available to pre-order now! Title track ‘The Party Is Over’ out today.”

She toes the line so well between pure country production and heavier rock influences that she grew up on, and that is certainly not an easy thing to do in country music today in terms of doing it well and staying true to both art forms. Her brilliantly honest songwriting is always at the focus of each song and project, so this is sure to be a must-listen album and I am really looking forward to it.

Morgan is nothing if not consistent, and she has been putting out great music for years now, while touring the country and bringing her twangy, powerful vocals to fans across the country and world. She is such a bright spot and talented artist within the genre, and have always really appreciated her willingness to really lay it all out on the table and authentically connect with music lovers from many different genres.
