The slick and catchy country of Maddie & Tae—that’s Madison Marlow and Taylor Dye—could only be crafted by a duo with once-in-a-lifetime chemistry. Their songwriting testifies to their connection, as they find common ground while lampooning twang tropes like cutoff jeans and trucks in the hard-rocking “Girl in a Country Song”, or seeking comfort in a mother’s love on the tender “Die From A Broken Heart”. They’re songwriters and performers in perfect harmony, as evidenced by, well, their harmonies, whether they’re rolling their eyes at chat-up lines on the rowdy “New Dog Old Tricks” or preaching a hopeful message on the soaring “Fly”.
