Country singer-songwriter Morgan Wade is set to release her debut album Reckless on March 19. On recent single “Wilder Days,” Wade’s scratchy twang queries an older love interest for details from his youth. “You said you hate the smell of cigarette smoke / You only use to smoke when you drank,” the Floyd, Virginia resident sings on the glossy country-rock anthem . The track’s nostalgic pining is Springsteen-esque, as Wade remains fascinated by the ways that memories of adolescence continue to have incredible power for adults. “I wish I’d known you in your wilder days,” she sings, lamenting a transient romance’s waning spark.
