MACY MARTIN CELEBRATES 2020 QUARANTINE GRADUATION WITH DOUBLE TRACK RELEASE OF “ENOUGH” AND “STUPID”

Songs Follow Up Country Pop Artist’s First No. 1 Radio Disney Country Hit 

“I  Miss You”

(NASHVILLE, TN; August 21, 2020)  – Country-pop newcomer Macy Martin celebrates her 2020 quarantine graduation with the double release of her two brand new singles “Enough and “Stupid.” Exclusively premiering with CM Chat Live and Music Mayhem Magazine respectively, the tracks follow-up Martin’s first No. 1 radio hit “I Miss You” which reached the top of the charts on Radio Disney Country this summer. Thrilled to reach the all important milestones in the same crazy summer, all three songs serve as an introduction to the Nashville-based emerging artist. 

Showcasing her versatile vocals and introspective approach to music, Martin revealed more about what the new songs mean to her. 

“‘Stupid’ is about letting go of all the ideas of what ‘love’ is supposed to be and just following your own rabbit hole into the wonderland of it all.” she explains. “Even if it means you go a little mad, falling in love makes us all a little stupid! We lose our inhibitions and fall into a fever dream of sorts. For me that’s a part of it. Feeling butterflies in the pit of my stomach reminds me that love is still real, fun and an exhilarating part of living...that’s why I wanted to cut this song.” Adding, “I hope ‘Stupid’ reminds people that it’s okay to be dumb and blind in love.” 

“‘Enough’ is like an open love letter to yourself. This song became my passion project! When my senior year spring break from college got extended at the height of COVID in March, I went back to Texas and started going through old family photos and watching family home videos. The whole experience reminded me of this song,” Martin described. “As I am and as you are beautiful, whole, and entirely you. You are loved, and are, in fact, enough as you are. My biggest hope is that this becomes the soundtrack reminder to all who hear it. Especially during these times of uncertainty that we are all living in. No matter what is happening, there is no one else in the world that can be a better you and you are enough in every way!”

Martin’s previous release “I Miss You,” co-written by Carly Pearce, Nathan Spicer and April Geesbright, was recorded as two versions— first debuting as a heartfelt country-pop song this Spring, before she dropped it as a stripped-back piano ballad. The video, set to the intimate piano backdrop, depicts the immediate vulnerability and honesty behind the lyrics which is what originally drew Martin to record the track in the first place. The official video premiered across Radio Disney socials, while the song is currently still in rotation since its release on the popular platform. 

ABOUT MACY MARTIN:

Landing her first No.1 hit with “I Miss You” on Radio Disney Country, she just released two follow up tracks that aim to introduce Martin to the Country pop world. A big contributor to her career is accomplished songwriter and producer Dave Pittenger (Jessie James Decker, Tyler Farr), who Martin considers a mentor, as well, who produced “I Miss You.” Latest tracks “Enough” and “Stupid” were produced by the talented Garen Gueyikian out of LA. While Martin’s music is composed of stories of young love and self-discovery, they follow her real-life themes of growing confidence and expressing a stronger point of view.

MACY MARTIN RELEASES NEW SINGLE “I MISS YOU” TODAY

(NASHVILLE, TN; April 10, 2020) – Nashville-based singer-songwriter Macy Martin just released her new single “I Miss You” today. With an exclusive premiere on PopHearts, the country pop track was co-written by Carly Pearce, Nathan Spicer and April Geesbright. Macy immediately connected with the track upon hearing it.

Macy shares, “When I heard ‘I Miss You’ for the first time, the immediate vulnerability and honesty of the first verse caught my attention. I knew I had to cut it because other people could relate to the emotions expressed in the song. The incredible group of songwriters behind it - Nathan Spicer, April Geesbright, and Carly Pearce – captured the perfect combination of beauty, pain, and growth in a three-minute lyric and melody.”

 

She continues, “’’I Miss You’ resonates with me because of the journey it takes you on with yourself. Throughout the song you’re walking amongst your own emotions of heartbreak while holding on to what was golden and good of the past. It is written as a letter to the person on the other end of the relationship, one of those letters that you write and never send to the addressee to just get out of your own head. These last two years of my life I can really relate to that internal battle with myself in letting go of what mold I was supposed to fit or what I thought other people expected me to be. It’s been really freeing to pursue the sound that excites me and makes me feel like my realest self.

 

While fans can expect the music video for “I Miss You” to be released soon, her official music video for previous single, “Don’t Be The Reason” has earned nearly half a million views on YouTube.

 

Originally from Texas, Macy has resided in Nashville the past four years while earning her music business degree from Belmont University. About to graduate, she has built her music career at the same time, honing-in on her songwriting craft.

 

Upon arriving in Nashville, Macy started working with Kent Wells, the longtime band leader and producer of Dolly Parton. Proud to call him a big influence and good friend, they have shared a special chemistry since they met. Drawing influences from country, rock and pop, her latest work is composed of stories of young love and self-discovery. Following themes of growing confidence, Macy’s songs reflect more of a pop aesthetic with strong underlying country roots both vocally and instrumentally.

Thus, Macy’s Toy Box began, donating new and gently used toys to local law enforcement and underprivileged children in her hometown of College Station, TX. After a short while, the cause outgrew Texas and spread throughout the country to later benefit St. Jude Children’s Research HospitalThe Make-A-Wish FoundationNashville’s Bridge Ministries and numerous children’s hospitals.
 
In addition to growing her non-profit, the 20-year-old Texan has also been hard at work focusing on her other passion: music. Martin is scheduled to perform her current single, “Take It Now” – dubbed by Her Campus as “the perfect addition to your road trip Spotify playlist” – on Hallmark Channel’s Home & Family on April 20.  Embracing the journey of “finding her melody,” (Billboard) Martin is gearing up to release new music in the coming months.
