Maren Morris has shared new music with fans in the form of the nostalgic Harper Smith-directed video for her single, “Circles Around This Town.” The Grammy-winner wrote the song with Ryan, Hurd, Julia Michaels and Jimmy Robbins and it was produced by Greg Kurstin.
“I could see the visuals for ‘Circles Around This Town’ the moment I wrote the song,” Morris said in a statement. “I’ve always been so inspired by the industrial, blown out colors of music videos from the 90s, so Harper Smith and I wanted the aesthetics of this video to reflect that grainy, devil-may-care attitude of all my female heroes from that era: Sheryl, Fiona, Alanis. Obviously, having a penchant for the nostalgic, we decided to recreate my teenage bedroom and pin old photos of me as a kid on the walls and have me typing on an old PC computer. I knew I didn’t want to take anything too seriously in this video, so all our amplified ‘signs of the universe’ are purposefully campy, but they also ask the viewer, ‘Is the universe actually showing you signs or do you just know when you need to make a real change?’ ‘Circles Around This Town’ is my story, so I felt like I truly got to relive my journey from Texas to Nashville again.”
More new music is expected from Morris soon and, in the meantime, check out the video for “Circles Around This Town” below. Additional information on Maren Morris can be found at Marenmorris.com.
