Marcus Mumford, Maren Morris Team Up To Cover 'Daisy Jones & The Six' Track

Marcus Mumford and Maren Morris recently shared a cover of "Look at Us Now (Honeycomb)" from the hit Amazon Prime series "Daisy Jones & the Six."

The new version is available exclusively through Amazon Music. The original was co-written by Mumford and Grammy winner Blake Mills.

"Blake and I wrote 'Look at Us Now (Honeycomb)' together - with a bit of help - about a year and a half ago for Daisy Jones & The Six," Mumford said in a press release. "This time around, we stripped the song right back down to acoustic guitar and a vocal - which is how it was written - and then kind of built it back up from there until we landed on an arrangement that we liked."

"I've been a fan of Maren for a long time - both her solo music and her work with The Highwomen - and this duet needed a voice like hers," he added. "We're just honestly so thankful she agreed to do it."

Morris said she feels honored to have gotten the chance to sing on "Look at Us Now" with Mumford.

"Shows depicting the reality of what it takes to become a band or what it's really like touring can so often get it wrong," she added. "One of the components of Daisy Jones is that they chose to ground this fictional universe with real songwriting. The music in the show that Blake Mills created and the incredible performances by the actors gives this world a heartbreaking authenticity."

Country music singer-songwriter Cole Swindell recently released a new single, "Broken".

"Broken" is the second release of the three new songs included on his upcoming deluxe album Stereotype Broken, due April 28.

Swindell co-wrote "Broken" with Chris LaCorte, Cole Taylor and Hillary Lindsay.

"You heart wasn't made to be broken / Wasn't meant to be in pieces / It was made to be loved on by someone who'd never leave it," he sings in the chorus.

Last month, Swindell dropped the party anthem, "Drinkaby," the first new song from the deluxe edition. Written by Jon Pardi, Jordan Schmidt, HARDY, and Hunter Phelps, the track notes that a wild party is required to recover from the pain of a breakup.
