Maggie Rose released two new tracks, “Just Getting By” and “Pull You Through” on Friday (10/20). The tracks encompass the lifetime of a relationship, drawing from two very key moments in her own personal relationship: the turmoil in the wake of an argument with her now-husband and then the serendipitous feeling of imagining the many years ago after getting engaged. American Songwriter shared a first listen of the tracks today.
American Songwriter writes, “‘Just Getting By’ is a laid back love song…which has the kind of infectious melody that can bridge the gap between pop country and R&B… ‘Pull You Through’ is a soulful showstopper, with a slow-burning arrangement that allows plenty of room for Rose to show off her powerhouse vocals.”

Friday afternoon, Maggie appeared on SiriusXM’s Music Row Happy Hour with Buzz Brainard, and Saturday, Maggie and her band debuted these songs at the Grand Ole Opry.
Maggie envisioned a unique level of rawness for these sessions, recording in a method which she’s never recorded before. Rather than building the tracks through overdubs, she wanted all the players — the rhythm section, the guitarists, the vocalists — in one place together, taking cues from each other and responding in the moment. Her band consists not of the city’s studio talent but of members of The Morrison Brothers Band and Them Vibes, as well as her friends from Nashville’s music scene who are plenty talented in their own right and have played with Kelly Clarkson, Brothers Osborne, Steven Tyler and others. The sound springs from the shared experiences of a community.
Recording in Nashville with an 11-piece band, Maggie’s making the most exciting music of her life as she taps into a soulful country side in the vein of Linda Ronstadt and Adele.

The new tracks come just months after Maggie’s acclaimed ‘Dreams > Dollars’ EP. In 2016, CMT named Maggie one of its Next Women of Country, and this year she has toured with Martina McBride and opened dates on Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s Soul2Soul tour. Taken with recent releases ‘Dreams > Dollars’ and ‘The Variety Show Vol. 1,’ “Just Getting By” and “Pull You Through” reveal a singer crafting a sound as varied and nuanced as her musical interests. “It’s nice to be able to feed my creative spirit as often as I want and not be a one-dimensional artist,” she says.
