Maren Morris is taking her latest single, “The Bones” to a whole new level with the release of a brand new version of the track featuring Irish-born musician, singer and songwriter Hozier.
The just-released collab has Morris and Hozier trading vocals, each showing off their impressive pipes (listen below).
The decision to collaborate with Hozier was an easy one for Morris, who has been a fan of his music for quite some time.
“When I first heard ‘Like Real People Do’ I think I could actually hear my heart breaking and then immediately felt songwriter envy that I didn’t write it first,” Morris shared. “Hozier’s soul and vulnerability is so arresting and fit so well with the foundational theme of my song ‘The Bones.’ I feel so grateful to have him on it.”
“Something of love’s enduring nature really comes through on ‘The Bones,’ it’s a gorgeous song,” Hozier added. “I was delighted to be asked to sing with the Maren Morris on this track – she is such a wonderful artist.”
“The Bones” is the second single from Morris’ sophomore album, GIRL. She co-wrote the song alongside Jimmy Robbins and Laura Veltz.
Fans can catch Morris on the road headlining her GIRL: The World Tour and appearing as a special guest on Miranda Lambert’s 2019 Roadside Bars & Pink Guitars Tour.
