Morgan Wade’s Obsessed is a raw, unfiltered, honest look into the mind of one of country music’s most compelling young voices.
Following up on her breakout 2023 release Psychopath, Morgan Wade strips everything back to basics, coming up with an album that feels as intimate as a late-night conversation with an old friend. Obsessed is another Wade masterclass in storytelling, channeling her personal experiences and demons into each track. The Virginia-born singer-songwriter explores themes of longing for home, the intensity of love that borders on obsession, and the complexity of situations that don’t always fit neatly within society’s expectations. Her lyrics hit hard because they come from a place of truth - a truth that Wade doesn’t shy away from, even when it’s an uncomfortable one.
Wade’s songwriting process for Obsessed was as organic as it gets. After years of relentless touring and media attention, she found herself craving simplicity. Every time she picked up her guitar, new songs flowed effortlessly. "They were just coming to me left and right," she says, reflecting on the ease with which the album’s 14 tracks came together. Produced by her touring guitarist Clint Wells, Obsessed is a solo-written, stripped-down project that showcases Wade at her most vulnerable. "I really wanted to get back to doing what I used to do," she explains. "Just make this whatever I wanted it to be."
What sets Wade apart in the crowded country music landscape is her ability to connect with listeners on a deeply personal level. Her voice, with its raw, unflinching quality and a hint of twang, is the perfect vessel for her brutally honest lyrics. Whether she’s singing about the joy of reuniting with loved ones or the darker moments of self-reflection, Wade’s performances break down the barrier between artist and audience, creating a shared experience that’s as powerful as it is rare. Obsessed arrives at a pivotal moment in Wade’s career, right as she’s hitting her stride. With her fearless approach to songwriting and her commitment to being herself , Morgan Wade is a force to be reckoned with in country music… and beyond.
