Latest single is “the most personal thing” Australian country star has shared
In addition to showcasing his music, Australian country star Morgan Evans is bringing viewers along on the ups and downs of his 2022 musical journey with a five-part documentary series for his song “Over For You.” The series takes you along in Australia and New Zealand, including CMC Rocks QLD Festival, where he debuted the single for 25,000 people.
“This song is the most personal thing I’ve ever written and the most personal thing I’ve ever shared,” Evans shares.
Directed by Peter John, the docuseries brings viewers backstage and back home where Evans grew up. After a year of planning and just weeks before shooting, Evans went through a divorce from Kelsea Ballerini. That’s when Evans sat down to write what he calls “the song from my heart.” The CMC Rocks performance received hundreds of thousands of views on social media. In response, “Over For You – Live in Melbourne” was then recorded and released to digital outlets.
“It felt like channeling all that sort of awfulness into something positive,” he states.
More than a show, Evans says the song became a release. “I didn’t realize that I was going to feel this, but after I played it at CMC Rocks, I did feel a weight off my chest.” Evans recently released the music video for “Over For You.” Also directed by Peter John, the video was captured in tandem with the documentary.
