With any road trip one may take, the unexpected must be expected. But on Maddy Hicks’ figurative road trip of life, some of those unexpected moments have turned out to be quite exciting and emotional. Some of them even turned into songs, just like her brand new single “Pit Stop.”
Maddy Hicks has been writing and performing her own music for over a decade, but over the past few years she decided to kick things into overdrive. In 2018, Maddy made the move from upstate New York to Nashville to attend Belmont University. She was also determined to pursue a career as a songwriter and artist while studying, and released her debut album The Bliss You Missed the following year.
It’s been a summer full of new music from Maddy. Back in June, she released her Nightlife EP, which set the tone for future releases. “Pit Stop” is one of many she’s excited to share, especially after life as we knew it took a major detour last year.
Maddy spilled, “I wrote ‘Pit Stop’ during a quarantine slump last year and felt excited about my music for the first time in a long time. The upbeat energy of the song brings me so much joy, and the lyrics are jam-packed with internal rhymes, which are my favorites. In the studio, we focused on giving it a Dua Lipa groove and making it something people can dance to.”
Buckle up, because Maddy’s music is about to take you on a nice little joyride! Listen to “Pit Stop” below, and say hi to Maddy Hicks on Instagram @maddyhicks13.
