Country music artist Maren Morris has announced her departure from the genre, following the release of her new two-song project titled The Bridge. The songs, "The Tree" and "Get The Hell Out Of Here," express Morris' frustration and liberation from country music. In an interview, Morris explained that she felt distanced from the genre and wanted to focus more on making good music without worrying about how it would fit into the country music universe. She also mentioned that the drama within the country music community played a role in her decision to leave. Morris will be moving in a more rock direction with her next chapter of music.
