Rolling Stone has announced its list of the 40 best country albums of the year, with newcomer Maren Morris earning the top spot for her album Hero.
To those who say Morris sounds more pop than country, the young star has this to say: “I had my own worries, thinking if people listened to [Hero], are they going to be able to identify the genre? But then I quickly realized, that’s not why I make music. I didn’t set out to prove that I’m making a country record or a pop record – I just went out and wanted to make my record.”
