August 11, 2021—Rising artist
morgxn has teamed up with Grammy-award winning and Tony-nominated singer/songwriter
Sara Bareilles for a reimagining of his hit “
WONDER,” and last night the duo performed the song together on “
Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Watch/share the performance
HERE.
Upon its original release last summer, “WONDER” amassed over 50 million global streams and went viral on TikTok.
“I released a song that meant the world to me in a world that was entering peak unknowns,” describes morgxn, “Standing on stage at a venue where I first played my own music—but this time to record a television performance with Sara Bareilles—is the epitome of a dream come true.”
The Los Angeles-based artist’s new EP
MERIDIAN: vol 2 is set for release
October 22. Listen/share the first single “
DON’T THINK ABOUT IT” with Grammy-nominated producer and songwriter
Jenn DeCliveo HERE. The highly anticipated EP is the follow up to
MERIDIAN: vol 1, which is out now.
MERIDIAN: vol 1 was heavily inspired by a rollercoaster 24-hour period in which morgxn experienced some of his highest highs and lowest lows. Just as the world was going into lockdown due to the pandemic in March 2020, morgxn saw a lifechanging day in which Billie Eilish included morgxn’s single “home” in a list of inspirations behind her Grammy-award winning track “bad guy.”
Nashville-born Morgan Isaac Karr, best known as morgxn, released his debut album vital in 2018 including the hit lead single “home” featuring Walk The Moon. The track was a Top 10 Alternative Radio hit, landing on the Billboard Alternative Songs Chart and Billboard Rock Airplay Chart. He has toured extensively with the likes of X Ambassadors, Phoebe Ryan, miike snow, Skylar Grey and more, and has played festivals worldwide including Lollapalooza, Firefly and Hangout. morgxn will hit the road with Smallpools for a U.S. tour kicking off in November in support of the forthcoming MERIDIAN: vol 2.
