MAGGIE BAUGH
"I Met You"
Independent Release
A day in the life in the music industry in 2023 is vastly different than it was even a few years ago. In addition to being able to write good songs, you must also be able to sing your heart out, put on an incredible show, and be able to attract and keep the attention of fans, not just in person but also through social media.
Yes, love it or hate it, Instagram, TikTok and Facebook are a necessity for any up-and-coming singer-songwriter trying to break through into the mainstream of the music world. Country music multi-instrumentalist Maggie Baugh seems to have it all figured out, and she continues to display her undeniable talent with the release of her latest tune, “I Met You”.
Clearly stated, this song is beautiful. It’s delicately written and Maggie’s vocals are smooth, cool, and elegantly delivered with an honest emotion that has become somewhat of a rarity in recent years.
Further, this is a song that can touch listeners from different paths in varying ways, from the dreamers and lovers to those who have had past loves and those are longing for love in the future. It is a tune of hope, of perspective, and desire. It is honest, vulnerable, and self-aware. In short, it is a beautiful song about love.
“I Met You” follows a number of well-received releases including “Seein’ Somebody”, an up-tempo, feel good song for summer…and one that we personally loved here at TCM! Other impressive numbers from her ever-growing musical catalogue include “Think About Me” and “Story To Tell”, the latter of which was added to CMT’s rotation.
Her incredibly popular TikTok series titled “Finish the Lick” has garnered tens of millions of views and her streaming numbers across all social media platforms continue to escalate her notoriety to the next level.
Music fans were treated to (and undoubtedly impressed by) a special performance the last few days of the year, as Baugh joined Home Free on their Family Christmas series of Texas shows in Stafford, San Antonio, and Dallas. With a few dates listed on her calendar as she continues to release new music to fan and critical acclaim, we can all expect to see and hear more from this talented songstress in 2023.
