Emo Cowgirl Megan Moroney is bracing herself for a blue Christmas… duh.
Moroney marked the beginning of the holiday season with a surprise 3-track EP titled Blue Christmas …duh. The collection, produced by Moroney’s frequent collaborator Kristian Bush, features two original Christmas songs and the Georgia-born country star’s rendition of the classic ballad that Elvis Presley famously released in the 1950s. Moroney announced the EP hours ahead of its official debut on Friday (November 1).
- “All I Want for Christmas is a Cowboy” (Megan Moroney, Ben Williams, Mackenzie Carpenter, Micah Carpenter)
- “Christmas Morning” (Megan Moroney, Ben Williams, Mackenzie Carpenter, Micah Carpenter)
- “Blue Christmas” (Billy Hayes, Jay Johnson)
Moroney’s rendition of “Blue Christmas” and the EP’s title perfectly first the signature color scheme of the “Man on the Moon” hitmaker’s sophomore era. Moroney released Am I Okay? in June, and extended the album with a deluxe edition, Am I Okay? (I’ll Be Fine), last month. The 17-track record is Moroney’s highly-anticipated follow-up to her debut era (marked by the signature color green), Lucky. The CMA Award-nominated songstress delivered her debut album and its deluxe edition last year.
