Maren Morris shares new album ‘Intermission’

Maren Morris attends the 53rd Annual Academy of Country Music Awards on April 15^ 2018 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas^ Nevada.

Maren Morris has released her new album, ‘Intermission,’ sharing in a social media post: “intermission is the distillation of the strangest year of my life. i decided to hit the scariest reset button i could have ever conceptualized and there was no looking back. the lengths one will go to feel joy again are sometimes desperate and terrifying as all get out, but we all deserve peace in these very short few trips around the sun. here’s my heart’s journey and gamut of emotions in 5 songs. as i weave through loss, catharsis, sexuality and gratitude, i hope you can hear the light coming back to me in these stories and somewhere, perhaps, see it mirrored back in you. love, m”

The 34-year-old Morris just released her post-divorce song, “I Hope I Never Fall in Love,” after debuting the track during a concert at Red Rocks in Colorado last month, and shared in an Instagram reel the inspiration behind her new track: “’I Hope I Never Fall in Love’ is the afterglow of a s-tshow. It’s pretty self-explanatory from the title, having just gone through a giant breakup. Just not wanting to go down that path again, and wanting to keep things casual, and really just lean into the ‘situationship’ of it all. it’s a bittersweet heartbreaker because I’m in self-protection mode but still want to feel things. So throwing parties, going home with a stranger, popping champagne, whatever we need to do to process our trauma, it’s not a pretty road to healing. I, of course, do want to fall in love again, but I can’t put my heart through it just yet, so here’s a number about this strange but constructive (and destructive) window of my life.

Morris filed for divorce from Ryan Hurd in October 2023, citing irreconcilable differences. The pair, who were married for five years, share 4-year-old son Hayes; their divorce was finalized in December 2023. Days before Morris took the stage at Red Rocks, she also came out as bisexual, writing via Instagram: “happy to be the B in LGBTQ+ happy pride 🌈.” She celebrated the moment by dancing with a Pride flag at the end of the concert.
