Maddie & Tae’s “Girl In A Country Song” Anti Bro-Country?
Could we be on the brink of a blockbuster country protest song?
I was going to start this off with a spirited dissection of just how Nashville’s Music Row is re-integrating the anti “bro-country” sentiment back into the country music industrial complex, just like they did with the “New Outlaws” in the earlier part of this decade, and make no mistake ladies and gentlemen, that is what is going on with this song, no matter the original intention of these two 18-year-old girls. But out of respect for these young ladies, and the song itself, we’ll leave a more in-depth exploration of those matters for another time (read more here).
Maddie & Tae are the first signees to Scott Borchetta’s Dot Records—the most recent imprint to his Big Machine Label empire (NASH Icons notwithstanding). Maddie & Tae were not signed to Dot because of a lengthy performance resume. The girl’s performance schedule has been very limited up to this point. They were not signed to Dot on the strength of a completed album. In fact their debut album is still in the writing phase. And it’s not because Maddie & Tae are making a big buzz in the social media world, or the music world in general. At the moment, the duo’s Facebook page only has 1,100 “likes” (though this will all change in due course, trust me). The reason Maddie and Tae were signed to Dot Records was off the strength of one tune, “Girl In A Country Song”, and that one song now has the duo being underwritten by country music’s biggest label, poised to take country music by storm.
Make no mistake about it, “Girl In A Country Song” will be a huge hit, because Scott Borchetta will make it that way. The pretty faces help, and so does the fact they they can write and sing a little bit—just exactly how much though has yet to be truly battle tested. But this one song is good enough apparently to give the duo a green light. Yes ladies and gentlemen, this is the brave new world of country music.
“One of the reasons we activated Maddie & Tae right now, it started with this song, ‘Girl In A Country Song’,” says Big Machine CEO Scott Borchetta in the duo’s EPK (see below). “I think we’re staring off Dot Records with an absolute heater. There is a gaping hole for a female act to come and re-engage teenage girls in the format. It really hasn’t happened since Taylor (Swift).”
In Rolling Stone‘s recent special country music edition, in the feature on Scott Borchetta, they capture Borchetta interfacing with the new duo. “Borchetta’s last meeting of the day is with Maddie and Tae, a perky blonde duo, both 18, signed to Big Machine publishing, who are about to become full-fledged label artists. Their label is excited about “Girl In A Country Song,” which pokes gentle fun at the genre’s stereotypes—but they need to finish writing the album.”
Maddie Marlow and Taelyn Elizabeth are from Texas and Oklahoma respectively. They met in 2011 via a vocal coach and originally were going under the name “Sweet Aliana“. Ahead of the release of “Girl In A Country Song”, they are saying most of the right things.
“There are so many teenagers and duos, so many people trying to do the same thing,” says Maddie. “All of it’s about guys. We like to write about that, too. But what’s going to set us apart? We want to be intriguing but also put out songs with good messages.”
“We kind of like to shock people,” adds Taelyn. “We like to write a song that most people would never expect from two teenage girls. We make it modern but still really country. Hopefully, it catches on with people.”
The two girls list their influences a Dolly Parton, Joe Dee Messina, The Dixie Chicks, Carrie Underwood, Lee Ann Womack, and Shania Twain, who they reinforce is “THE thing” in their ethos.
So what do we get when we finally get to hear this much ballyhooed “Girl In A Country Song”?
Sonically, we get a pretty straightforward pop country structure, with the sentimental banjo and mandolin present here and there, but not too loud or out front, as is the custom of the day. Rock guitar sets the rhythmic base of the song, and though the solo is handled by a fiddle (a scandalous decision these days), its tone is tinged such that it could almost be mistaken as a Stratocaster. The turntable scratches at the beginning could be serious, or could be mockery. It’s anyone’s guess at this point.
The girls sing with that saucy twang that starts purposely below the register, and comes up to meet the proper note, imbibed with lots of attitude a la Miranda Lambert.
The words to “Girls In A Country Song” are what have everyone riled, and undoubtedly are what have Scott Borchetta rubbing his hands together, envisioning this track co-written by the duo will strike at a nerve just at the time the bro-country wave has reached its peak.
That’s right, Maddie & Tae are not just harping on “bro-country” per se, they’re specifically putting Blake Shelton’s “Boys ‘Round Here” (which has the same “red red red” cadence), and Tyler Farr’s creepy stalker song “Redneck Crazy” in its crosshairs. That’s a lot of guano-stirring for a couple of girls who likely wrote this song when they were 17.
Yes, “Girl In A Country Song” could very much be considered to fall in line with the long-standing country music tradition of protest songs, however playful, light, and potentially tongue-and-cheek as it might be. But let’s all just tap the breaks in saying this is “anti bro-country”. Are a couple of 18-year-old girls really looking to take on virtually the entire country music recording industry, even if Scott Borchetta has their backs? This song is being submitted to the masses because the bean counters at Big Machine think it can sell. That is in no way an attempt to belittle the sentiment and the inspiration instilled in this song by two girls, but let’s be honest.
The simple fact is country protest songs in 2014 are almost as cliché as the songs they’re chiding. We have clichés calling out clichés, and soon we’ll have protest songs calling out all of the protest songs. and is this truly a protest song, or should it be considered more an “answer” song in the old school country convention, where a female (or male) artist takes a song and writes a playful rebuttal? The true “anti bro-country” songs aren’t saucy ditties like this one from Matty & Tae, and it’s certainly not Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood’s “Somethin’ Bad”. It is Kacey Musgraves’ “The Trailer Song“. It is First Aid Kit’s “My Silver Lining“. These are songs with true originality, with story, and from major label artists whose best songs have no excuse not to be released to radio. Bro-country won’t be defeated by being attacked, or by being one-up’d by employing the same shallow tactics. It will be defeated when it is ignored, when alternatives that resonate deeper are offered and bro-country blends into the background as the hyper-trend it is. By getting behind this song, the industry, or at least Scott Borchetta, is signaling they believe bro-country’s relevancy arch is getting long in the tooth.
This is a cute little song, but I hate to place too much of a burden on it by loading it up with what some country fans want from it. What Maddie & Tae will truly become in the country realm is yet to be determined, and with girls this young, we all have to be careful and respectful of what our words, wants, and wishes might do to their original visions and dreams.
In the Rolling Stone feature on Scott Borchetta, the part about Maddie & Tae concludes, “When the pair seem eager to defer to the company’s wisdom, Borchetta gently chides them, ‘We’re activating this because of your vision,’ he says, his expression grave. ‘Don’t lose it.'” This speaks to Borchetta’s long-standing principle to dole out more artistic freedom than most of his Music Row comrades. And I would concur with his sentiments. These girls are so young, who knows where things will go. But as for “Girl In A Country Song”, I think without question, it is headed straight to the top. And it’s somewhat empowering and resonant sentiment along with it.

Right on . This is a gutsy lyric …honest , extremely well written and echoing sentiments shared by untold numbers of fans . Universal appeal ….whoda thunk it . The perfect ingredients for a hit lyric .

That bad drum machine pop country beat turns me off in the EPK. I’ll give it a spin on spotify when it comes out though.

Still not strong enough..I prefer this song that was written two years ago and I pitched last year with some interests…:)
“She’s Not A Girl In A Country Song”
http://www.musicxray.com/xrays/920909#.U7Lbl5RdWSo
http://noisetrade.com/jebbarry/nashville-roughs-2
She”™s hates hanging by a river getting drunk in dirty pickup trucks
Or dancin”™ on a tailgate, singing til the sun comes up
She won”™t take any grief from a farm bred barroom kid
She may be country, but she don”™t take nobody”™s”¦..lip
She”™s not crazy about tractors or boots, or daisy dukes up to here
She still loves to have a good time but now it”™s wine not beer
She more than just a decoration for those Friday night football games
Those lips are made for more than kissing, she”™ll tell what she, thinks
She”™s a woman she”™s a daughter man I think you out to take another look
She can handle her drink, She”™s got a college degree, she can load a gun and bait a hook
Don”™t let that blonde hair fool ya”™
She”™ll prove you dead wrong”¦.She”™s not a girl in a country song
It”™s all small town guys in mud stained tees, greasy John Deere caps and tans
Nothing wrong with that but she wants a grown up, adult man
Beer swillin”™, Skoal spittin, hanging out all weekend, ain”™t that attractive you know
She needs more class less drama high school was over years”¦.ago
She”™s not a pool shootin”™, wine spilling, hair flingin”™ wild living, dirt road shack Billie Jean
She”™s not barefoot, tank top, hand waving, red cup, runner-up 4H queen
She may be small town but, that little girl”™s long gone
She”™s not a girl in a country song

Here is a video from 2012 that shows them playing live at a church.
The guitar playing is not refined, but their voices sound good.
Not bad for being 16 at the time.

I would hope that the style of music on this track is more part of the satire than an indication of the girls’ overall sound; the giggly spoken bit towards the end makes the song seem more of a novelty than a relatively hard-hitting statement (like, say, “There’s No Country Here”)…
Still, while I doubt it’ll age well, to me it’s one of those things that just feels really good right now — catchy and fun, with mostly right-on lyrics (the part in the 2nd verse where they sing “Tell me one more time you gotta get you some of that / Sure I”™ll slide on over, but you”™re gonna get slapped” made me laugh out loud). 🙂
July 1, 2014 @ 9:14 am
Despite it being pop country, I really enjoy it. So far I’ve got a count of 8 bro country songs that are mocked in “Girl in a Country Song.” I really wouldn’t consider this a protest song, but rather a parody. The sounds you hear in the background are intentional and I think this will be more clear when they release more serious material. And anything that mocks Luke Bryan gets two thumbs up in my book 🙂
July 1, 2014 @ 5:50 pm
Don’t kid yourself. These girls would bang Luke in a heartbeat.
July 2, 2014 @ 8:36 am
Holy stereotyping, Batman. Why don’t you get to know a little more about them as musicians and as people before making claims about whom they would or wouldn’t bang?
July 2, 2014 @ 9:59 am
I think that we ALL need to appreciate that regardless of how we feel about their music, these girls are just 18-years-old, and unlike some young female performers (Taylor Swift, for example) have not spent years in the music trenches building up thick skins. Meanwhile they’re being sent right into the middle of the country music culture war where they’re going to have many of their peers judge them for criticizing pop country artists like Luke Bryan that they probably have the hots for. This is going to be a very interesting, and potentially dangerous sub plot to this whole thing. I think we should all remember, people first, then music.
July 1, 2014 @ 9:23 am
If it weren’t for the fact that their under the BigMachine name, I would have said there was no way in hell this will ever get played on the radio, but now we will have to see. While this is far from being the best protest song I’ve ever heard, I certainly hope this group has more in them than this one song. Their more pop than I usually like, but I find it hard to judge an artist sound based solely on one song, so I’ll keep an eye on them.
Also this maybe just me, but I’m predicting some backlash if this becomes a hit. Calling out particular songs is sure to get some people a little ticked.
July 1, 2014 @ 9:38 am
So basically Borchetta is creating a perceived “Us vs. Them” culture in suburban pop, pitting members of his own label “against” each other. Florida Georgia Line vs. Maddie & Tae.
Compared to Nashville, professional wrestling is looking more realer everyday.
July 1, 2014 @ 10:20 am
Please don’t give Borchetta any nefarious ideas! 😉
The last thing we need at this point is for Borchetta to push Maddie to start applying excessive amounts of Auto-Tune to her vocals, sport long magenta wallet chains and faux-rap like Ke$ha without the self-awareness………..while Tae is only there to model the latest fashion from HM and make awkward hand gestures on stage! 😉
July 1, 2014 @ 9:46 am
just another lame laundry list song, whether facetious or not. ENOUGH
July 1, 2014 @ 9:51 am
Drake White was recently signed to Dot Records as well. Hopefully Dot will push him harder than his previous label and get him more radio play. I’ve seen him acoustic solo and with his full band. He puts on a hell of a show either way. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/dot-records-expands-roster-with-drake-white-20140623

July 1, 2014 @ 10:11 am
…………well, first let me say that I am absolutely fascinated to see how this fares commercially! The idea that they are sharing the same label affiliation with Florida-Georgia Line and are, in fact, calling lyrics from “Get Your Shine On” out is quite remarkable! 😉
However, there are three criticisms I have of this track that I would be remiss not to point out that really keep me from enjoying this substantially.
Firstly, the chorus is marred by “loudness wars”. It aims for this wall-of-sound that just doesn”™t suit their style well and nearly drowns out their vocal and, thus, the potency of their message. The rest of this track”™s production is serviceable and a bit more “country sounding” than the average mainstream release at the moment because, well, it ACTUALLY has a damn fiddle………….but it could have done without the overly-compressed chorus.
Secondly, I felt their vocal delivery was a bit exaggerated and forced. Not Tyler Hubbard bad, mind you, and I get that part of it may have been an attempt to infuse sarcasm into their performance and play the part of the misogynistic caricature one too many of the worst breed of “bro-country” songs depict”¦”¦”¦”¦but it just doesn”™t showcase their voices necessarily well and somewhat got on my nerves for the same reason Taylor Swift”™s “We Are Never Getting Back Together” did.
Finally, a minor lyrical nitpick. Overall, lyrically and thematically, the song is on-point in terms of tossing lyrics from the likes of “Redneck Crazy”, “My Kinda Party”, “Get Me Some Of That”, “Get Your Shine On” and “Hey Girl”, among others, right back at the likes of music executives and songwriters most responsible for pushing the worst of bro-country cliches to the forefront (most notably the Peach Pickers, Rodney Clawson, Luke Laird, Ashley Gorley, Florida-Georgia Line themselves, etc.)
However, there is a lyric in the outro of the track that honestly bothered me somewhat:
*
“Can I put on some REAL clothes now?”
*
I added emphasis to “real” because I can”™t help but feel, at best, it implies that ANY woman who wears daisy dukes, bikini tops and suntans are fake or phony in how they express one”™s self”¦”¦”¦..and, at worst, is a subtle form of slut-shaming.
I may totally get the general message of the song and obviously wholeheartedly support it”¦”¦”¦”¦.but was that last line really necessary? I don”™t think it was. To me, it comes across as a bit judgemental. I can fully et behind the broader point that women are being sexualized and commodified across the board in corporate country music, and they depict an extremely narrow ideal of body-image and how women SHOULD dress to appease their drooling mates………….but let’s keep the slut-shaming outside, shall we?
*
I”™d say, in all honesty, I”™d probably give this a B- in terms of overall composition and execution. And though I agree with your points in that this is riddled with no fewer cliches than your bro-country template, I’m still glad and relieved something like this is being tossed out. Because if listeners somehow start hearing FEMALES sing and complain about bro-country, I think it will be a blessing in disguise and help accelerate listener burnout on this trend! 😉
I can’t wait to see Florida Georgia Line’s faces when they first hear and are first inquired about this song! 😉

The ‘exaggerated vocal delivery’ is an interesting observation , Noah . There have been a couple of times when I have submitted song demos to a publisher and they have suggested it needs to be ” twanged -up ” vocally . I know exactly what they are referring to as you hear this exaggerated twang so often . In fact one publisher actually asked for my demo beds on a song and put a young twangy demo singer’s voice on it for pitching . What I have always found somewhat amusing , though , is how even Canadian acts have incorporated the ‘twang’ into their vocal deliveries … often to the point where it sounds far too fake . There’s a point where these affectations just detract from the whole song ( FGL ) .
July 1, 2014 @ 1:24 pm
Lets bear in mind that bro-country is garbage, but from 2000-2006, there was a lot of “cuntry” music being made and a lot of grrlpower “Chainsaw” type songs by artists like shedaisy, dixie chicks, terri clark, ect.
What goes around comes around and it’s all garbage.
wars between the sexes are pathetic.
how about some actual adult country duets that don’t involve violence or one sex patronizing or one-upping the other.
July 1, 2014 @ 1:47 pm
Couldn’t agree more.
I’ve seen my share of apologists who will condemn most anything that perpetuates negative stereotypes that sexualize women and treat them as cardboard cutouts and trophies, but won’t go out of their way to call-out the revenge fantasies and vague misandry that peppers one too many songs recorded by the top females of the genre.
The “Battle of the Sexes” is an artifice that needs to die already. It isn’t serving anyone any good aside from self-deprecating humorous zings.
What I believe the genre is in desperate need of are songs with sex-positive themes. Kacey Musgraves and Miranda Lambert have hinted on the sex-positive at times (Musgraves with “It Is What It Is” is a notable example) but neither have really fully embraced the possibility of covering the spectrum of possibilities it presents.
Among other things, sex-positivity embraces the cooperation of the sexes and gender diversity, in place of rejecting the “Battle of the Sexes” schism.
July 1, 2014 @ 1:26 pm
soon we”™ll have protest songs calling out all of the protest songs
To be fair, though, that’s not a new thing either. Remember”Things Change,” released by Tim McGraw the year after “Murder On Music Row”? And frankly, I think THAT’S where the bullshit lies.
July 1, 2014 @ 1:28 pm
laundry list songs are popular because writers don’t do anything interesting and don’t have anything interesting to write about
July 1, 2014 @ 2:18 pm
I agree…I think. Calling out pop country in the form of song is getting old and tired. There’s not much substance coming from most of these pop country protest songs, they don’t tell us anything we don’t already know, they seldom tell a story worth hearing, and they absolutely never change minds.
With the exception of very few, these protest songs are almost masturbatory in their delivery and they lack soul. Seems a little hipstery to me.
You don’t see prolific songwriters recording pop country protest songs. They’re just catchy little anthems that small sects can “rally” behind.
August 3, 2014 @ 9:47 am
Ah c’mon ….writers nned to spend a lot of time and energy listening to all those other songs on the radio so they know which cliches radio and its listeners obviously can’t get enough of . . lol .
July 1, 2014 @ 2:40 pm
I’m sorry, but I’m rolling my eyes just at their promo pic.
July 2, 2014 @ 8:29 am
Agreed. It’s like hypocritical Disney country to me. Kind of doesn’t give them a leg to stand on…but I suppose the pile of money they will make off it will help soften the fall.
July 1, 2014 @ 3:00 pm
What are these last few posts even about? Its just a song….not a religion.
July 1, 2014 @ 3:24 pm
I respectfully disagree. Country music is like a religion, and this is not just some song. Make no bones about it, Scott Borchetta and the A&R team at Big Machine Records see this as the biggest song they have released all year. They’re expecting it to be a massive, massive hit.
July 2, 2014 @ 3:40 pm
Keith Urban agrees with you.
“I”™ve always found country to be basically like a church,” he continued. “It”™s got to keep evolving, but it”™s gotta do it in a way that it doesn”™t lose its values or its core congregation. But it has to continue attracting new parishioners.”

July 1, 2014 @ 3:13 pm
This is the biggest piece of crap since bro country started!! Total garbage, and a shame that these girls got talked into doing this marketing stunt.

July 1, 2014 @ 4:21 pm
The chorus is awfully catchy. I’m not necessarily saying the song is good, but I think BM is right with their prediction that it will be a radio hit.
July 1, 2014 @ 8:30 pm
i want to know what gtrman thinks of this…
July 2, 2014 @ 3:35 pm
Great song and it’s great to see one of these brotest songs going to mainstream radio! It sounds like this song is mostly about putting the boys back in their place and respecting women again like until recently more male country artists did instead of treating them like toys and objects like rappers do. The disrespect towards women is part of the bro song problem and gist of many anti-bro song arguments. The rest is the copied, unoriginal, repetitive lyrics, bad pop music and rapping. At a rock concert I went to, before the show started (it was quiet) a rough looking dude whistled across the concert hall at his date (who was walking to the lobby to get beer or whatever) to call her like a dog and I heard other women say they wouldn’t be able to stand that. That’s the kind of disrespect in bro country songs and it sucks to see country go from family values and respecting women to the opposite pop and rap route. Like it says in the song, some of the bros need to be slapped for cutting disrespectful lyrics. Bros, this is your wakeup call. Cut the bs and get back to reality.
July 3, 2014 @ 5:30 pm
Finally listened to the song. And I just think it’s a bad song, taken on it’s own merit. I listened to it twice just be sure, and I don’t like it. That’s just my opinion.
I get why everyone is excited about it. The lyrics are somewhat clever. But the song itself? No thank you. But then again, what do I know?
July 5, 2014 @ 5:03 pm
The Big Machine sees the pendulum swinging against the bro-country culture. It is a business, after all. I’d wager they find it easier to mold a couple starry-eyed 18 year old girls into the pop-country production line than an independent female artist who, if they were to right such a song, would likely have too much artistic integrity to cave in to the new Nashville Sound.
July 7, 2014 @ 7:48 am
It’s a cute song I guess. Sort of a psuedo girl power anthem. However, their overdone, shrillish twang is annoying and will prevent this song from really meaning anything. If they wanted to make a true statement then they should have used their talent to back it up. Instead they end up sounding like someone making a country parody song.
July 11, 2014 @ 12:55 pm
I heard them today being interviewed and it is clearly not a “protest” song nor is it supposed to be taken seriously. It’s supposed to be light hearted and flirty..just like the songs they “fake mock” I am an old time rock fan and only recently started listening to country. I can’t stand the whiney “emo” indy music and rap and r@b has too much overt sexual connotations. If country music “purests” keep complaining, they will loose a huge audience of new listeners. I like this song and love Florida Georgia Line..songs about the memories of growing up,having a good time…simple flirtations are fun to listen to even though I grew up knowing every Bob Dylan song. “The times they are a’changing” people
July 14, 2014 @ 9:56 am
Are you guys seriously THAT offended at a song? It’s embarrassing really. The song is not only really good, but exactly what country music needs. 99% of country music songs (bro-country) are really sexist and promoting misogyny. So why is it a problem when girls call out other males country artist on their sexist song? Of course, it’s a problem because SEXISM exists. Boys can write songs about girls and say whatever they want, but the min two girls write a successful songs calling men on their bullshit, all hell breaks loose.
No matter what you think about the song, if you’re a girl saying that the song is ”a shame” or whatever, you’re part of the problem. I will definitively buy this song and I hope it replaces ”bro-country” on the radio.
July 22, 2014 @ 2:34 am
This was a good effort. But unfortunately, the whole “anti bro country” movement is gonna need a lot more momentum. This video hasn’t even reached 100k views on YouTube. I thank them for trying, but we’re gonna need a much bigger hammer to leave a mere dent in bro country’s wall of fame.
Whilst I have no problems with guys lovin’ their beer, trucks, and women, there’s a point when enough is enough. I can’t turn on the local radio channel without being vehemently bombarded with “gonna get blasted, shitfaced, and hammered” or “haey gurrl, you so smokin in dem cutoffs” and “gunna park outside ur house, turn on my headlights, DRANK on the hood, and leave empty beer cans on ur lawn”.
Chris LeDoux would be shaking his head at all this…

The song is really catchy but now all hell has broken loose since this song released and it’s the biggest song in history since Alan Jackson’s & George Strait’s hit “Murder on Music Row” and tbh I’m still saying in my opinion that country music is just country music there’s nothing to worry about
August 3, 2014 @ 7:10 am
I haven’t listened to the song but am I the only one that noticed, when looking at pics of these girls, in most of the pics they are dressed exactly the way they are complaining about?

What’s with the over-the-top fake country drawl on this song?? They absolutely sound stupid!
