Ryan Hurd Tries to Escape Heartbreak in 'Michigan for the Winter'

Ryan Hurd is running away from heartbreak in his new song "Michigan for the Winter."

"Michigan for the Winter" is a mid-tempo breakup song that finds Hurd heading north for "a change of scene / 'Til the seasons change." He's hoping "a little space or a little time" will help him forget a lost love — but he's also holding out a bit of hope that she'll come after him.

"Just in case you want to change your mind / I'm letting you know where you can find me / 46th Street, that first right turn / Down the dirt road, watchin' that wood stove burn," Hurd sings in the chorus. "I'm either waitin' out your memory / Or for you to want to come back to me / Whichever comes first."

Hurd is signed to RCA Records Nashville (and married to Maren Morris!) and has been working on his career as an artist for a few years. He released his first single in August of 2016 and followed it up with a four-song EP in the spring of 2017.

"I have no idea when it's coming, but we've got a whole record recorded," he tells Taste of Country. "As soon as they say, 'Press play,' we're ready to go."

Hurd's next radio single is "To a T," which also features background vocals from Morris. He'll spend the early months of this year headlining some shows of his own.
