Maren Morris is back with her most personal album yet, and she's not holding anything back. Here are the details of the album that not only redefines her as an artist but also as a person who courageously embraces all facets of her identity.

AceShowbiz - Get ready for an unapologetically authentic ride with Maren Morris' latest album "Dreamsicle"! Set to drop on May 9, this body of work marks Morris' fourth full-length release and her first since 2022's "Humble Quest."
Packed with 14 tracks that blend her country roots with pop influences, this album promises to take listeners on a journey through the aftermath of personal and professional transformations.
In a revealing statement, Morris explained how this album embodies the acceptance and release she has discovered. "No monster in the mirror, no shame-laden decade or unraveling 'what happened' - just acceptance, release and the reclaiming of how strong I've always been," she said.
Highlights from "Dreamsicle" include the five pop-forward tracks from her "Intermission" EP released in August 2024. Songs like "Push Me Over,” which explores themes of sexual liberation, and the effervescent "Cut" featuring pop artist Julia Michaels, shine a light on Morris' bold artistic vision.
In a poignant move, Morris publicly came out as bisexual during Pride Month last June, declaring on Instagram, "happy to be the B in LGBTQ+." This announcement followed several months after the finalization of her divorce from fellow country singer Ryan Hurd.
Morris' progressive views have often clashed with conservative elements within the country music industry. In 2023, she took a stand by announcing her departure from what she termed the "toxic parts" of the genre. "I want to take the good parts with me," she stated during an appearance on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen."
Not one to rest on her laurels, Morris has been pushing herself creatively. "I don't want to make the same record over and over," she shared in a USA TODAY interview last summer.
This drive is evident, as earlier this year she garnered nominations for both a Golden Globe and Critics' Choice Award for her song "Kiss the Sky," featured on the soundtrack of the animated film "The Wild Robot."
Fans can catch Morris live in concert starting in July, with several tour dates already announced. As Morris continues to evolve both personally and artistically, "Dreamsicle" stands as a testament to her unyielding resilience and refreshing honesty.
