Maddie & Tae can’t wait to hit the road with Carrie Underwood on The Cry Pretty Tour 360 on Wednesday (May 1^st). They said fans could expect a really high energy show when they walk on stage.

“We are keeping it fun and upbeat. But not straying away from those soft, vulnerable songs as well,” says Maddie Marlow, revealing, “we have a really fun cover we’re going to sneak into this little set that is so exciting. I wish I could spill the beans, but…”

She adds, “it’s unexpected, but super fun; a couple new songs that haven’t been released yet and a lot of songs that have been released. So, hopefully our fans with memorize that EP, so we’ll be playing all of those songs out there. Hopefully they will know the words by then.”

Maddie & Tae just released their five-song EP, One Heart to Another, which features their latest song, “Die From a Broken Heart.”

Platinum-selling duo Maddie & Tae are “setting the stage for a bright journey” (Sounds Like Nashville) with their eagerly-awaited new EP One Heart To Another (Mercury Nashville), available today. Featuring five tracks, predominantly co-written by Maddie & Tae’s Maddie Marlow and Taylor Dye, and produced by Jimmy Robbins and Derek Wells, the highly-anticipated project represents stories of love, loss and redemption. Available HERE, the collection serves as a snapshot of more music to come from the award-winning duo later this year.

One Heart to Another offers the “confessional” (Rolling Stone) “Friends Don’t,” the quickly applauded new single “Die From A Broken Heart,” touting 36 million streams and fresh at country radio following undeniable fan and critical demand – and the recently released “Tourist In This Town,” a song Music Row praises for its “spunk, vocal verve and tempo.” The swaggering kiss-off “New Dog, Old Tricks,” a winking, hip hop-inflected anthem that marks the first outside cut Maddie & Tae has recorded and vulnerable title track “One Heart To Another,” round out the boldly honest collection, which shows “a more sophisticated side” (Associated Press).

“The amount of gratitude I feel towards our fans is indescribable,” said Marlow. “We’ve waited four long years to release new music, and so have they. This EP is not only a collection of songs to us, but a reminder that dedication, passion, and perseverance always pays off. This feels so surreal, and it’s only the beginning.”

“This collection of songs is our unfiltered story and we’re so proud to tell it,” adds Dye. “Over the past couple of years, we’ve experienced love, pain, redemption and everything in between. And we wouldn’t change a thing.”

One Heart To Another Track List:
1.  Friends Don’t (Maddie Marlow, Taylor Dye, Jon Nite, Justin Ebach)
2.  Die From A Broken Heart (Maddie Marlow, Taylor Dye, Jonathan Singleton, Deric Ruttan)

Award-winning duo Maddie & Tae are drawing praise for their new music “anchored around their stellar vocal pairings and some of the tightest harmonies on Music Row (Rolling Stone). “The sound is identifiable while still representing a distinct step forward” (Billboard), giving fans a taste from their debut on Mercury Nashville, available now. Maddie & Tae first broke out in 2013 with their brilliant take down of bro-country, “Girl In A Country Song,” which took Country radio by storm, skyrocketing to the top of the charts and quickly going PLATINUM. The duo became only the third female duo in 70 years to top the Country Airplay charts, also earning trophies from the Country Music Academy and Radio Disney Music Awards along with multiple ACM, CMA and CMT Award nominations. Receiving widespread praise from NPR, Billboard, Entertainment Weekly, The Washington Post, Glamour and others, country music’s hottest stars including Dierks Bentley, Lee Brice and Brad Paisley have welcomed Maddie & Tae on the road, with Carrie Underwood recently inviting the duo out as direct support on her 2019 Cry Pretty Tour 360 kicking-off in May.

Maddie & Tae are nominated for Duo of the Year at this year’s ACM Awards, and they couldn’t be more thankful for the recognition.

“Being in the Duo category, especially being the only females in that category, is really, really special,” says Maddie Marlow. “We are just in such good company. Every single duo that’s nominated this year, we are really good friends with and we love and support and root for, but just the fact the industry acknowledges what we’re doing, especially after the crazy past couple of years we’ve had, just to get that nod saying, ‘Hey! You’re doing good. Keep doing what you’re doing,’ is so special. We do not take that for granted ‘cause we didn’t expect that at all, and so it was a huge shock for us and such good news for us this year.”

The 54th Academy of Country Music Awards, hosted by Reba McEntire, will air live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas April 7th at 8pm ET/delayed PT on CBS.

Maddie & Tae are featured on the soundtrack for the movie, Breakthrough, which includes music from and inspired by the highly-anticipated motion picture. The two were sent the film and were blown away by the inspirational flick.

“They sent us the movie Breakthrough, and they sent it to us and we watched it on our computers individually. And I got a notepad out and just wrote down things that inspired me, but I cried probably every five minutes, and so it was hard to write thoughts down ‘cause I was so moved,” says Maddie Marlow. “Faith is a huge thing for Tae and I. We are very vocal about our faith, and just watching a movie that can invoke that much emotion and I feel like they captured the story so well and the acting was so good in the movie and I was so, so inspired and moved by it.”

The ladies were so inspired by the movie, the story and the acting, they were motivated to write a song called “People Need People,” which ended up on the film’s soundtrack.

Breakthrough, starring Chrissy Metz (This is Us), Josh Lucas (Sweet Home Alabama) and Topher Grace (That ‘70s Show), is based on the inspirational true story of one mother’s unfaltering love and faith in the face of impossible odds when her son falls through an icy Missouri lake, but she refuses to give up hope as he lies lifeless.

The soundtrack, which also features songs contributed by Carrie Underwood, Lauren Alaina, Darius Rucker, Mickey Guyton, Adam Hambrick and the film’s star Chrissy Metz, among others, is available Friday (April 5th), and the film will be released nationwide April 17th.

Maddie & Tae, who are nominated for Duo of the Year at this year’s ACM Awards, will hit the road with Carrie Underwood on the Cry Pretty Tour 360 beginning May 1st in Greensboro, North Carolina.
