Maren Morris Envisions Her Concerts When She Records Her Songs

Maren Morris Envisions Her Concerts When She Records Her Songs

The way Maren Morris records her albums has changed over the years thanks to her concert performances, “I think the more records I make and more touring I do on those records, I realize how things transfer live.

It was that thought process that Maren took into the studio when she was creating her recently released third album Humble Quest, “I wanted it to feel like a live album.

Maren shares, “I definitely know okay, some things play better in the studio some things like play better live. And for me I’ve fallen into traps where, oh my god, we play this live and I realized I recorded this way, way, way too low. And it worked in the studio and it doesn’t work live and I have to sing this song for the rest of my life. So I feel like with this record, I didn’t have to force too much, like oh, how will this translate live? I just knew I wanted to keep it very organic, which I knew would translate live.”

Morris adds, “With every recording session I feel like I pictured the venue we were playing it in and that’s never happened before. So yeah, I’m excited to play them all in actual venues for people.”
