“I was the victim of bullying growing up without knowing there was a lifeline out there to keep going,” morgxn says. “THE WAY IT WAS’ is about reclaiming that spark I lost due to the pandemic and getting older. When I got a bunch of hate on the Internet it reminded me that ‘the way it was’ didn’t always make room for people like me and so many I love. But there’s something powerful about reclaiming that joy and that hope that no one can ever take away from you.”
MERIDIAN: vol 2 EP is set for release on November 11, and on November 1 morgxn is hitting the road with Smallpools for a North American tour. List of dates below.
The EP is the follow-up to MERIDIAN: vol 1, which 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.
