Oh, dear, look at them now!
The companion album for Amazon Prime’s “Daisy Jones & The Six” TV series has caught the attention of the music world! Since its release earlier this month, “AURORA” has been at number one on the iTunes chart and has reached the top spot on the Billboard Songs chart.
11 songs have clearly resonated with listeners; ‘Daisy Jones’ writer Taylor Jenkins Reid recently posted an Instagram video of her daughter flocking to the album!
Jenkins Reid’s daughter isn’t the only listener to thank the music of “Daisy Jones & The Six”; two very famous artists have released their take on Daisy Jones & The Six’s hit song “Look At Us Now (Honeycomb).”
Marcus Mumford Channels His Inner Rock Star For ‘Daisy Jones & The Six’s Music!
Mumford ditches the banjo as he helps the musical style of Daisy Jones & The Six come to life!
Mumford wrote the lyrics for the band’s big hit “Look At Us Now (Honeycomb)” along with songwriter Blake Mills. The Grammy award-winning songwriter has written several songs for indie sensation Band of Horses, and one Mr. Robert Zimmerman, Bob Dylan, himself!
Discussing the songwriting process, Mumford recalled that the pair originally wrote “Look At Us Now (Honeycomb)” to portray a certain style. Mumford and Mills’ original vision for the song is brought to life in the new performance, featuring Mumford and a duet partner whose vocal stylings he knew suited the song right out of the gate.
Who Is Mumford’s Duet Partner?
The former Mumford and Sons frontman enlisted a certain country singer to help him bring his original vision for the song to life!
Grammy award winning sensation Maren Morris fits the bill! Morris picked up three Grammy nominations for his latest album “Humble Quest” last year. He was nominated for Best Country Album for the LP, and two awards for “Circles Around This Town,” Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance.
Mumford also shared his thoughts on Morris’ inclusion in the song.
“…This time, we stripped the song back down to acoustic guitar and vocals- the way it was written- and then rebuilt it from there until we landed on an arrangement we liked. I’ve long been a fan of Maren- both her solo music and her work with The Highwomen- and this duet needs a voice like hers. We’re honestly so grateful he agreed to do it,” Mumford said in a press release for the duet.
Morris also shared his thoughts on the experience, expressing his admiration for how “Daisy Jones & The Six” portrayed the musician’s lifestyle so authentically.
He said, “Shows that portray the reality of what it takes to be a band or what it’s really like to tour often get it wrong. One of the components of ‘Daisy Jones’ is that they chose to ground this fictional world with real songwriting. The music in the show created by Blake Mills and the incredible performances by the cast give the world a heart-wrenching authenticity. I’m so honored to be singing on ‘Look At Us Now’ with Marcus.” (via CONSEQUENCES)
Morris shared a behind-the-scenes clip of the recording session on Instagram Friday morning.
In the reel, which was recorded for Amazon Music, Morris revealed he had met Mumford for the first time when the two recorded their song.
“I love being in a room and singing with someone live,” Morris said. “I really think you get a magical moment when two singers are in the studio together, facing each other, singing to each other. Every take feels like a new beginning of something.”
Mumford also gave her praise for Daisy Jones & The Six’s version, calling it a “face-melting” version!
Marcus Mumford and Maren Morris’ duet of “Look At Us Now (Honeycomb)” is exclusively streaming now on Amazon Music!
