EP OUT OCTOBER 22
Photo credit: Nolan KnightAugust 25, 2021—Fresh off the heels of his performance with
Sara Bareilles of his viral hit “
WONDER” reimagined on “
Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Nashville based artist
morgxn debuts the official music video for new single “
DON’T THINK ABOUT IT;” Watch/share the video
HERE, which depicts a spin on the typical gender reveal party.
“There is so much pressure and attention on gender as if it’s something new. It’s not,” morgxn explains, “but with headlines like ‘forest fires started by extravagant gender reveals’ it makes me wonder… why gender has become such a heated debate when we are debating something that is, at its core, deeply personal. I loved how this video came to be and NETA BEN EZRA, the director and new mother, really helped lean into the question: is gender anything other than an individual’s unique expression?”
The track—a collaboration with Grammy-nominated producer and songwriter Jenn DeCliveo—is from his forthcoming EP, MERIDIAN: vol 2. The EP is the highly anticipated follow-up to MERIDIAN: vol 1 and is set for release on October 22.
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.
