Emerging as a powerful new voice in music, Maggie Antone has been working her way up the ranks, gaining praise after her cover of Tyler Childers’ “Lady May” exploded on TikTok, leading to the release of “Interpretations” in 2022. This 7-track covers album garnered the attention of fans and critics alike and set the stage for her upcoming debut album, “Rhinestoned,” which will be released under her own label, Love Big.
Featuring ten tracks, “Rhinestoned” is a gorgeous mix of catchy melodies, tenderness, and evocative harmonies that showcase the depth and power of Antone’s vocals. With honest lyricism and a touch of lighthearted fun, the album is sure to resonate with audiences worldwide. One particularly stand-out song on the album is “Johnny Moonshine,” which is upbeat, foot-stomping, and memorable. Antone has described Johnny Moonshine as a fictional character that she created. “If he turns out to be a real person, I’m convinced he’d be my soulmate,” she says.
One of the most admirable things about Antone is her desire to create music that means something to other people. Her open vulnerability in her songwriting is an invitation for people to connect and find meaning in the art. Antone’s charisma and emotional depth are what sets her apart as an artist and make “Rhinestoned” an album that befits not only a whip-smart poet but also country music’s most enthralling new muse.
