Megan Moroney’s Lucky deluxe is here.
The Georgia native released three new track as an extension to her debut album today, “Fix You Too ft. Kameron Marlowe” (of which a solo version was included on her 2022 Pistol Made of Roses EP), “Crazy ft. Mackenzie Carpenter,” and a solo tune called “Reasons to Stay.”
My favorite is easily “Nothin’ Crazy,” which she teased a little while back where she daydreams of “a white dress and picket fences.”
Featuring her friend Mackenzie Carpenter, she details the beginning of a new relationship and how the guy she’s talking to doesn’t want anything “crazy,” referencing his past relationship with an ex.
She tells him she’s fine with that, essentially admitting that she’s “not like other girls,” agreeing that they should take things slow.
But something that we ladies understand all too well, and I think is quite a foreign concept to many men, that was a big ‘ol lie and she was hooked after the first kiss.
She immediately starts daydreaming about a wedding, and subsequently starts naming their imaginary children and pets in the process, and if you’re a female who can honestly say you’ve never done that before, more power to ya (and I need to talk to you about some advice):
“Cause I’m picking out a white dress and picket fences
Got the whole thing planned in a board on Pinterest
Heard he’s got a little bit of family money
Trust me, didn’t know he had a trust fund honey
I can’t wait for our second date,
Maybe he’ll show up with his grandmas ring
Till then ill be spending time naming our dogs and babies
You know, nothing crazy”
I think this is exactly the kind of thing a lot of men think of when they say girls are being “crazy,” and I love that she took the concept and wrote such a cheeky, funny, and really damn honest little tune about it.
“Fix You Too ft. Kameron Marlowe” is a beautiful duet about how both parties want to be together in a way, but know they have some work to do on themselves, first, and they can only handle one fixer upper project at a time.
Kameron and Meg’s styles and vocals blend so well together, and I’m always a sucker for a good old fashioned sad country duet like this, so it’s a big win in my book.
Lastly, “Reasons to Stay” is a pretty solo track where Meg is pretty much convincing herself that so many little things that might make her normally think twice are something she can overlook, seeing as she’s in so deep with this relationship and doesn’t want to waste what they once had, even if the spark is gone now.
As much as I really enjoyed the first installment of Lucky, I actually think these are three of my favorites on the tracklist now.
That quick wit and very southern, sassy writing always resonates so deeply with me, and I know I’m going to have these on repeat for the foreseeable future.
