“Hell Yeah!”: Is Morgan Wallen Teasing a New Acoustic Version of ‘Love Somebody’?

Morgan Wallen has shared a new flurry of photos and videos from his groundbreaking Camp Randall Stadium show in Madison, Wisconsin last weekend - but one particular clip in this rare Instagram carousel from Wallen has caught our eye.

The 14th slide features a grainy, home-video-style recording of the Sneedville megastar singing an enchanting, a cappella version of his Billboard Hot 100 No. 1, ‘Love Somebody’.

On the face of it, this is nothing out of the ordinary, with Morgan Wallen often sharing acoustic renditions of his tracks. We even got a piano-driven take on ‘Love Somebody’ in February, with Wallen underlining that he likes how this acoustic version sounds. We were also treated to pared-down Shop Sessions of a slew of tracks from I'm the Problem, continuing the tradition from his previous two records.

In the newly uploaded clip, the ‘Last Night’ hitmaker sings the ‘Love Somebody’ hook with a slightly slower tempo, before stopping partway through the verse and checking with someone off-camera, “Like that?” A woman's voice can be heard affirming, “I mean, hell yeah!” An open laptop can also be seen in the background.

It doesn't feel like Morgan Wallen is rehearsing for his I'm the Problem Tour in this clip, because he tends to perform the lively studio version of ‘Love Somebody’ with a full band, rather than giving it an acoustic, stripped-back twist on-stage.

We're therefore wondering if Wallen is hinting that he's recording an acoustic rendition of ‘Love Somebody’, perhaps to drop as part of a deluxe version of his new album, I'm the Problem. Could the woman he talks to at the end of the clip be a featured artist? Some fans have taken to the comments to point out that Megan Moroney - who is rumoured to be the muse for Wallen's ‘TN’ - has liked the new Instagram post, which could imply she's involved. While we would love to be surprised by a blockbuster duet between these two, we think this is a stretch at this point.

With Wallen also dropping clues that point towards him recording an expanded rendition of ‘Interlude’ - potentially with Drake - it certainly feels like he has something up his sleeve.

He spoke to Theo Von back in May about the possibility of dropping a remix of ‘Miami’, too, after BigXthaPlug didn't get his verse sent across in time to make it onto the album. Could we be getting a deluxe version of I'm the Problem featuring an acoustic rendition of ’Love Somebody’, ‘Interlude’ with Drake and ‘Miami’ with BigX?

We'll have to wait and see, but even if we don't get any new music in the next week or two, we have a strong suspicion Wallen will at least perform the live debut of ‘Miami’ when he storms onto the stage at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium later in July.

Of course, this new ‘Love Somebody’ clip could simply be an innocent video of Morgan Wallen singing one of the most successful songs on his latest project, I'm the Problem. Indeed, after releasing a sprawling, 37-song album barely two months ago, it might seem outrageous to be speculating that there's more music to come.

We just think (and hope) that, bearing in mind the fact that Wallen is aware of how keenly his fans look for easter eggs and hints, there might be something on the horizon...
