Stream "Nightlife", the Brand New EP by Pop Singer-Songwriter Maddy Hicks
Originally from upstate New York, Maddy Hicks now calls Nashville home, in order to pursue a career as a songwriter and artist while studying at Belmont University. Her music is influenced by artists such as Sara Bareilles, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, John Mayer, and Vampire Weekend, but she is clearly walking her own path artistically, with a upward trajectory in the music game.
Maddy has just released her new EP entitled “Nightlife”, which follows her project from 2019, “The Bliss You Missed” (stream HERE). The producers Maddy worked with on the EP include omgprkr ("Backseat" and "Used to Be"), Josh Toth ("You Don't Get To" and "Wake Up and Call the Uber"), and Benjamin Dufresne ("Guitar Solos").
Speaking about “Nightlife”, Maddy says,
“Nightlife addresses twentysomething insecurities and progresses in the same way that a Friday night does for many college kids. “Backseat” describes what it’s like to experience social anxiety on the drive to the party. Next is “Used to Be,” which feigns confidence and success in a celebration of change while hiding undertones of sadness for what’s lost in one’s evolution. Heartbreak house party vibes shine through in “You Don’t Get To,” and it’s easy to get lost in fantasies during the “Guitar Solos” at a concert. The EP wraps up with the track “Wake Up and Call the Uber,” a ballad about trying to get over an ex after waking up in their bed again”.
