Morgan Reese is excited to share the new single “not cool anymore,” out today via EMPIRE. The 19-year old bay area native invites listeners into a world where they’re the keen (and only) observers of their life. Written and produced solely by Reese herself, “not cool anymore,” is an audacious anthem for anyone who has had a one-sided relationship where they like the individual more than that person likes them.
“At the time of writing this song,” explains Reese, “I felt as if I was losing sight of myself and identity by only focusing on this person. I was not cool anymore because I cared so much about someone who didn’t reciprocate. This song comes from a place of painful nostalgia, where looking back at the happy memories only reminds you of the failed relationship and what could have been.”
Reese wrote “not cool anymore,” in the same way she has written most of her recent songs, alone in her dorm room, putting down her observations, words, and music in her journal. “I feel like they give a unique first hand perspective on things people my age may be feeling or going through,” says Reese. Reese weaves her experiences into vignettes of a sonic fabric, recounting fleeting crushes, missed glances, and self reflection, all working in harmony to establish Reese as an exciting, emerging artist with a refreshing take on the recognizable.
