With the advent of solo acts being successful in mainstream music and across all genres, it is such a refreshing sight to see artists who have the capacity to work as a duo, without the pressure of competition. Creating a career with someone else by your side all the time might be irksome for a few, but it is through the power of combining two talents that the chance for success becomes clear and bright.
It has been a long time since there has been a duo who dominated the charts. It is usually a group or a band, but after we heard of the pair Maddie and Tae, we know that we’re off to musical bliss.
Maddie and Tae is a girl duo that puts forth the best in country music. Many music fans have commented their awe-inspiring vocal prowess and the innate ability to work harmoniously, shown in performances that are enjoyable and pleasant. Comprised of singers Madison Marlow and Taylor Dye, Maddie and Tae is slowly etching their names on the music industry after several appearances and performances within the country music field.
Furthermore, both country singers are admirable as they not only course their talents through singing, they are also known songwriters and guitarists. More than their pretty faces, Maddie and Tae will definitely captivate you once they begin performing, and with a career start that’s as impressive as what they have now, they are certain to last in the industry for as long as they would like.
Despite coming from two different towns and states, the duo behind Maddie and Tae was fated to have the same vocal coach. An Oklahoma descendant and a Texas local are quite a combination, but the two have remained friends while going to school.
With sparks flying and passions colliding, Maddie and Tae decided to push through with their career as a single act, moving to Nashville and signing a contract in 2014. The illustrious Dot Records acquired these country music gems and made them their first signees of the label, after its necessary overhaul from Big Machine Productions.
The track Girl in a Country Song was the duo’s first offering, which they both performed and co-written. Immediately, it left a deep impression in country music listeners and hoisted the track to the 58th spot a few days after its release on the Country Airplay Charts.
Due to its impact to listeners, the track glided on the radio waves for 23 weeks until it reached number 1 spot, a feat that followed The Wreckers’ Leave the Pieces in 2006. Due to the imminent patronage of their debut single, an EP release was announced, carrying three refreshing tracks entitled Your Side of Town, Sierra and Fly.
The extended play release further established them as essential contemporary artists as it topped the US Heat Charts, and ended at the 28th spot in the US Country Charts. In August 2015, Maddie and Tae crafted another genius album entitled Start Here, which peaked at number 2 on the US Country Charts and sold 83,000 copies in the United States alone.
Due to the potential seen from the duo, it was never a surprise that they won the 2015 ASCAP Country Music Awards for Best Performed Song (Girl in a Country Song) and they are nominees in the upcoming Academy Awards of Country Music for Vocal Duo of the Year and New Vocal Duo/Group of the Year.
