Emma Rowley, Maddye’s co-writer on the new release, reflected on their special collaboration that led to the heartful tune. “I remember the feeling in the room when we came up with the hook of the song. Everything felt electric! The lyrics and melody were totally infectious. I instantly knew we had something special on our hands. It’s always a good sign when a song practically writes itself!”

“Y’all SEE her? I – want – to – BE – her!” exclaims country newcomer Maddye Trew, beaming as she holds up a magazine featuring her hero, Loretta Lynn, on the cover. She’s celebrating the release of her new single, “Dear Loretta,” which made its debut on Radio SoBro’s NuMu Friday just in time for Trew to take it onstage as a featured performer at the Tennessee River Jam in Paris, Tennessee.

We are thrilled that the “Boots and Whiskey Podcast” chose to include Maddye Trew as part of their “Women History Month” lineup. The podcast seeks to discover the best in new and promising artists from across the country; that being said, host Jim Belisle still has a soft spot for the heart of country music. “It was so nice to hear from somebody IN Nashville that is just absolutely KILLING as a female artist,” offers the host in his introduction.
