If you’re a true country guy or girl looking to find current and catchy music, Maddie & Tae is a growing country music duo that is as southern as they come.

Listening to Maddie & Tae will make you feel as if you’re in the deep south, wearing cowboy boots and cut-off jeans. Listening to the duo’s relatable, new music allows the listener a fun, fresh escape from the world.

According to their official website, Madison Marlow and Taylor Dye met in high school and, after graduating, moved to Nashville, Tennessee. The two began their music career working with songwriter Aaron Scherz and Big Machine Records.

Maddie and Tae were the first to sign with the label in June of 2014. Scherz and the girls co-wrote their first single, “A Girl in a Country Song.” The single debuted in July 2014 and reached No. 1 by Dec. 20 on the Country Airplay chart.

Maddie and Tae then co-wrote “Fly,” one of their most recent songs, released in January 2015. The song gained notoriety when the girls performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “Fly” is a slower, more personal song by Maddie & Tae. The single gives off an inspirational feeling while listening, and it’s a great song to serve to ease audiences into country music.

They released their full album, “Start Here,” in August 2015, and it made the top 10 on Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay by October 2015.

Maddie & Tae’s most popular song from the album, “A Girl in a Country Song,” is an upbeat tune and typical for a pop-country song. The girls have a sassy attitude throughout this single, and it is overall a pleasant listen.

A lot like “A Girl in a Country Song,” Maddie & Tae’s single “Shut Up and Fish” is a cheery tune about one of the girls supposedly fishing with a city boy. The song plays of a common southern hobby to relate to their specific audience.
