Morgan Wallen slams former label for putting out his old songs
Country music star Morgan Wallen slammed his former music label Panacea Records as “gross” and ”greedy” for releasing decade-old music against his wishes Wallen says he now cringes to — and responded by releasing his own re-recording of his hit “Spin You Around.”
Country music star Morgan Wallen slammed his former music label Panacea Records as “gross” and ”greedy” for releasing decade-old music against his wishes that Wallen says makes him cringes — and responded by releasing his own re-recording of his hit “Spin You Around.”
Wallen shared an Instagram post denouncing the Thursday release of the album “Stand Alone (10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition),” which was put out by Panacea, a label he said he parted ways with nearly 10 years ago.
The album is an extended version of his 2015 EP “Stand Alone” and includes eight previously unreleased songs — but Wallen said it was done so without his support and with assistance from his former managers.
“It’s gross, greedy & an example of how the dark side of the music business can suck the soul out of artists,” he wrote. “I cringe when I listen to these songs & I’m concerned my fans may mistakenly believe this is a new release by me.”
Wallen is one of country music’s biggest names and has made a meteoric comeback after he was briefly shunned in the music industry over a video that caught him using the N-word in February 2021. The video was met with fierce outrage that saw his music temporarily dropped from radio stations and his recording contract with the Big Loud label suspended.
