t’s always interesting when artists are intent on staying away from politics in their music, since politics are ingrained in our lives and our identities. Being the end of 2018 in the United States, it’s clear what state our politics are in and how it all affects our lives. It may be true that because of this, divisions among people are even greater than ever before. But it’s also true that it is easy to find other people who are similar to ourselves, and from there we can build positive communities to uplift us. This idea of community building—our finding “home” in these spaces—is integral in Nashville-bred artist morgxn’s music: our interconnectivity allows us to build homes where we might not have before. We find ourselves in people we’ve never met, and it really only works to better our own lives.
