Maddie & Tae just released “Fly,” their second single to country radio. Their first single, “Girl in a Country Song,” was a funny tongue-in-cheek jab at the way women are portrayed in some of today’s country songs, while “Fly,” is a much more serious and inspirational song.
Maddie and Tae say what they love about country music is the storytelling. “We love putting our stories into songs and that’s been the consistent theme throughout Country Music history,” says Maddie, “is these honest, true, no-filtered songs, and that’s what drew us to making Country Music and just to get to do it for a living is pretty awesome.”
Tae agrees and she says, “If you get to go in a song-writing session and just vent and have it turn into a song, that’s like the best career ever.” Maddie thinks it’s so great she wonders if it’s even a real job.
