Morgan Wallen Drops Surprise Re-Recording of ‘Spin You Around’
On Thursday January 25th Morgan Wallen’s first EP ‘Stand Alone’ turned 10 years old.
Capitalizing on his success, Wallen’s ex-colleagues who he “parted ways with almost 10 years ago“ released a 10 year edition of his EP “Stand Alone”, featuring 8 new songs that did not make the cut on the EP originally. The additional songs were distributed against his wishes with the assistance of Morgan Wallen’s former managers .
“I was not the only collaborator, so many of these songs were not my idea nor to my standards.” – said Wallen when explaining why he does not want these songs out. He urges fans that this is not his new music and worries fans may believe this is a new release by him.
In response, Wallen has re-recorded and released fan favourite “Spin You Around (1/24)” from the EP and it came out at last night midnight. He recorded the song earlier this week and even did the artwork himself while on a duck hunting trip.

In addition to the re-release Morgan Wallen is donating $100,000 from The Morgan Wallen Foundation to the Volunteer Lawyers & Professionals For The Arts (VLPA) Program in hopes that young aspiring musicians don’t have to sign away their creative freedoms the way he did.
Fans can look forward to new music in 2024 as Wallen mentions he will start recording his next project in February.
