The Bridge, represents yet another evolution for Maren. Lead single “The Tree,” written with longtime collaborators Laura Veltz and Jimmy Robbins and produced by Greg Kurstin, finds her passionately declaring, “Trying to stop me won’t do ya no good. I’ve already planted the seeds.” Watch Maren perform “The Tree” from the Scotiabank Arena last night in Toronto HERE.
Then, there’s “Get The Hell Out Of Here.” Her first collaboration with producer Jack Antonoff, Maren’s acoustic guitar underlines her emotional delivery as she confesses, “I fed all my good intentions while I starved myself, so to startin’ conversations that only end in tears, go on get the hell out of here.”
The EP has earned critical acclaim, Vogue raves, “There’s an evergreen brilliance to Morris’s body of work,” and Rolling Stone praises “The Tree” for its “swaying, hopeful pop quality that betrays the exasperation of her lyrics.” CNN summed it up best as “fiery.”
