Multi-platinum, GRAMMY award-winning artist/DJ/producer Zedd has released his new single, “The Middle” with GRAMMY award-winning artist Maren Morris and rising artist/producer duo Grey via Polydor Records.
“We worked really hard on this record to get it just right and it feels great to be able to finally share it with everyone,” Zedd says, “It was super fun working with Maren because she is clearly an amazing singer and very talented musician. And, I always love working with Grey because we push ourselves to make the best music possible and the end result is incredible.”
“I’m so excited we’re finally able to share The Middle with the world. Zedd was so great to work with and so easy going, it felt like we’d been working together for years,” Maren shares, “the sound is reflective of my many influences as an artist – a little bit country, little pop, little R&B, relatable, emotional and catchy as hell. There are no limits with this song and I can’t wait to see how the fans react.”
“We love working with Zedd, who’s not only been a great mentor but a great friend. It’s always exciting to see what we can come up with in the studio together and even more exciting to be able to share this with everyone,” says Grey.
“The Middle” is Zedd’s first single of 2018 and follows the success of his 2017 hit singles “Stay” with Alessia Cara and “Get Low” with Liam Payne. Maren Morris has quickly established herself with vocal stylings that reflect her country, folk and pop influences. Last year, Morris took home the GRAMMY for Best Country Solo Performance for “My Church” at the 59th GRAMMY Awards, in addition to having the most nominations for a country music artist with four to her credit (Best New Artist, Best Country Album, and Best Country Song). This year, she received her fifth GRAMMY Award-nomination for Best Country Solo Performance (“I Could Use A Love Song”) for the upcoming 60th Annual GRAMMY Awards. “I Could Use A Love Song” was Morris’ first No.1 country radio single on both Billboard Country Airplay and Mediabase Country charts earlier this month. Though rooted deeply in country music, Morris has acquired a global, non-genre specific, fan base. It’s that global fan base’s appetite that she will satisfy in 2018 starting with “The Middle” with Zedd and Grey.
