After sharing a Weezer-approved cover of their 2001 hit “Island in the Sun” to social media last month, Morgan Evans received a video response from the band’s front man, Rivers Cuomo, that blew his mind. On Thursday (March 3rd), Rivers took to his own social media to offer a new verse on Morgan’s current single, “Country Outta My Girl.” The comment section exploded with requests from fans for a full version of the song and on Friday (March 4th), Morgan released “Country Outta My Girl (feat. Rivers Cuomo).”
Rivers posted his performance on social media first on Friday writing, “I see your 'Island in the Sun' and I raise you a 'country outta my girl.'
Morgan shared the final collaboration on social media writing, “Rivers re-wrote the 2nd verse and chorus for this version and I think it’s one of the most badass, weird and wonderful things I’ve ever been a part of! Shoutout to Rivers for lending his genius to this tune. I hope this puts a big smile on your face today . . .”
Morgan recently announced his own headlining show overseas, performing at the Lafayette in London on July 14th and marking his first UK show since 2019. He will join Brad Paisley for additional European dates.
