Megan Moroney "Tennessee Orange" Live In Nashville
With a one-of-a-kind songwriting voice spotlighting her disarminglydown-to-earth personality, the Nashville-based artistdelivers 13 vividly detailed and wildly dazzling tracks that speak out oneverything from toxic relationships to romantic confusion to the thrill ofmaking possibly bad decisions on a rowdy night out. “All these songs came fromme writing about my life; I don’t ever put on a persona or try to be somethingI’m not,” Moroney points out. “I’m just a 25-year-old girl from Georgia whohappens to be very in touch with her feelings, and knows how to turn them intosongs.”

Rooted in a timeless but fantastically unpredictable sound that Moroneycompares to “a vintage car that can fly,” LUCKY has alreadyearned abundant raves from critics. Billboard lauds LUCKY“showcases thesubstantive musicality and intuitive songwriter beneath Moroney’s aesthetic asa fashionable, bubbly blonde with a hit song and vocals featuring an intriguingblend of honeyed and raspy,” and Holler states “Delivering her signature brand ofconversational adeptness and clever turns of phrase rolled in 13 visceraltracks, the album is a perfect combination of Kacey Musgraves' SameTrailer Different Park and the simple bad-assery found in much ofMiranda Lambert's vast discography.”
Produced by Kristian Bush (the multi-award-winningartist/songwriter/producer and member of famed duo Sugarland), LUCKY includesfour previously released singles revealing the extraordinary scope of Moroney’sartistry. Along with “Tennessee Orange” — recently the #1 weekly streamed songby a solo female Country artist. Those tracks include follow-up hit “I’mNot Pretty” (a February release hailed by MusicRow as a “clever, femme-centric ditty [that]confirms her status as a first-class, off-center, wonderfully creative Countryartist”).
LUCKY’s two-stepping title track (a March single that“feels a little bit Shania and full-on honkytonk, in a manner that would havesounded right at home on ‘90s country radio,” according to Billboard), and the gut-punching “Girl in the Mirror” (asoul-baring ballad that premiered last month, with Country Now noting that the song “further illustratesMoroney’s knack for storytelling as she details the deeply personal realizationthat she’s lost herself amid a rocky relationship”).
