Untitled

Start Here is the debut studio album by American country duo Maddie & Tae. It was released on August 28, 2015 via Dot and Republic Records. The album, produced by Dann Huff, features eleven tracks. Its release was delayed so the duo could have more time to work on it. A deluxe edition with acoustic versions of "After the Storm Blows Through" and "Downside of Growing Up" will be released on September 4th through Target.

Background

The album was originally scheduled to be released June 2, but Maddie & Tae pushed back the album’s release date to August 28, 2015. Marlow said “what we had was good, but we knew it could be so much better”, while Dye added “we wanted to get the feel — the sound of it — and the music right. You only make your first album once”.

Content

Maddie & Tae stated: “we told our stories in this first album and that’s exactly what we plan to do for the albums to come, we want our fans to come along on this journey with us.”

Album artwork

The official album cover was shot by photographer Allister Ann: “The thing about us that really defines Maddie and I is we’re not those girls who want to spend a lot of time getting our hair done,” Dye said. “We’d rather be out on a four-wheeler, playing guitar or just hanging out, having fun. That’s what the songs are made of. We thought the pictures should look like that, too”.

Singles

Two singles have been released from the album, the chart-topper "Girl in a Country Song" and "Fly".
