Morgan Wallen’s Latest Single Is All About Nostalgia
January 7, 2021 5:45 amMorgan Wallen followed up his fourth career Number One hit, “More Than My Hometown,” with “Seven Summers,” a fan-favourite that shattered streaming records at both Apple Music and Spotify in the fall of 2020.
While Morgan can’t say for sure why this song is having such an impact on fans, he said he can see one obvious connection.
“Anytime that you can introduce nostalgia into a song it automatically tends to hit . . . if you land it right it usually hits well. Everybody kind of has that inside of them. I’m personally drawn towards songs like that, and I also (think) maybe, you know, with the way things went in 2020, I think it has had maybe a lot of people thinking about the past and longing for things that they don’t really get to experience anymore. I think maybe both of those things kind of went hand-in-hand. The timing of the song just seemed to be right, I think.”
The song, along with “More Than My Hometown,” is included on his upcoming album, Dangerous: The Double Album, due out on Friday, January 8th.
Morgan will celebrate the release of Dangerous: The Double Album with a live performance of his new songs from the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on January 12th.
The one night only, full-band Nashville concert will be live-streamed for free worldwide on Morgan’s YouTube and Facebook pages at 9 p.m.
