    Morris' full breadth is encapsulated on Humble Quest, and it's far more ambitious than the title suggests. The 32-year-old's third studio album mines a rich yet relatable personal life

    Humble Quest lives up to its name: 11 lithe songs about love, work, and family, some great, some good, with a coherence and clarity that make it feel matter-of-factly masterful.

    Humble Quest is a mature record in its approach in addition to its theme, a record that offers warm consolation in hours of trouble as well as breezy relaxation during the good times.

    There are precisely zero churches or trucks on Morris’ latest. Instead, the Texas singer luxuriates in tasteful adult pop rock in the vein of Sheryl Crow and John Mayer, collaborating with producer Greg Kurstin, an A-list practitioner of the sound (Adele, James Blunt, Foo Fighters).

    Though her lyrics remain a bit too overbroad and beholden to cliche to allow its songs to land with the impact they could/should, a fewThough her lyrics remain a bit too overbroad and beholden to cliche to allow its songs to land with the impact they could/should, a few mold-breakers in this regard as well as solid production/musicianship and Morris's admittedly impeccable vocals nevertheless ensure that "Humble Quest" remains a perfectly pleasant (if mostly inessential) country-pop listen.

It has some fun songs with catchy hooks/verses. Her vocals are very on and off. Sometimes, they deliver, and other times, they are painfully bad. The lyrics are funny sometimes, (especially the cringeworthy love letter towards tall guys,) but there are some lyrics that aren't good. Though still better than most male counterparts of hers, I was hoping for something more engaging.… Expand

Em seu terceiro disco, as ótimas "Circles Around This Town", "Humble Quest" e "Nervous" ficam perdidas entre outras oito faixas esquecíveis. O sucesso estrondoso de "The Bones" me deixou ansioso para os próximos passos da cantora, mas ela mesma está apagando as suas pegadas na areia.… Expand

    I’ve been hoping for something to blow me away as much as her first album did. Unfortunately, the album is boring. Most songs are blandI’ve been hoping for something to blow me away as much as her first album did. Unfortunately, the album is boring. Most songs are bland sounding with generic lyrics. Nothing really grabs my attention. I expect a country album to be country especially since it was stated this would go back to the roots of country music but it’s adult contemporary at best. For a project that came 3 years after the last one I also expect it to be amazing. Sadly, it’s the furthest thing from that.… Expand

    I actually liked this album a lot. "Background Music" and "Nervous" were great, I LOVE the title track and "I Can't Love You Anymore". All upI actually liked this album a lot. "Background Music" and "Nervous" were great, I LOVE the title track and "I Can't Love You Anymore". All up it's nice to see more traditonally country album from Maren. "Hero" was good but since then country in particular has been trending back towards neo traditional sound, so I get why some may not like it.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Maren is a mediocre singer. She has the personality of a lamp and not a new lamp, an old dusty, attic lamp. She is mean spirited and talentless.… Expand
