Morgan Wallen's new song, “7 Summers,” may sound like ’70s soft rock, but it‘s breaking streaming records and rubbing chart elbows with Drake and Harry Styles.
“I’ve been all over the place now, but east Tennessee is still my favorite place in the world,” he said. “So getting to picture my home in my head — it’s a comforting thing.
By the time Wallen released the finished version this month — he’s currently at work on the follow-up to his 2018 debut album, “If I Know Me” — demand for “7 Summers” had built to the point that England “had an idea it was going to be a streaming monster,” the executive said. Asked why he thinks his song, or just a small part of it, captured folks’ attention, Wallen credited its “nostalgic feel” and pointed out that, even if teenagers aren’t familiar with Fleetwood Mac, they unknowingly recognize the group’s echoes in music by the likes of Styles and Musgraves..
Take Wallen’s “legendary mullet,” as England described it. A clean-cut guy in a baseball cap in the “Up Down” video, Wallen got the haircut as something of a joke after he came across a wedding photo of his dad rocking a similar look. He didn’t intend to keep it, England said, “but then it became a whole thing.”Wallen, thus informed, said: “Thanks, I guess?” But he admitted he’s been enjoying the attention it’s brought him.
