Morrellium is an upcoming solo album by New Zealand singer-songwriter Kirsten Morrell, expected to be released in late 2024.[1] It will be her second solo album since the release of Ultraviolet in 2010.

Morrellium is Morrell's first studio project as a pop artist since recording the single "I'm Free" for TVNZ 2 in 2011.[2] It also includes contributions from former Goldenhorse band mate Ben King, with whom Morrell had not collaborated with since the band went on hiatus in 2007.[3]

Two singles, "Strawberry Fool" and "Harry", were released in September and November 2023, respectively, in anticipation of the new album.[4][5][6] Morrell has also performed two further songs from the album live; "Avignon", which was released in October 2024, and "Wishin' and a Hopin'".[7][6][8]
