Philadelphia-based artist Maggie Mae unveils a dynamic range between lush introspection and rousing rock passion within “Clockwork,” described as a “song about the act of creation itself.” The track represents the fourth single from Maggie Mae’s upcoming debut album.
Tender guitars open with a balmy entrancement, amidst a jazzy percussive pit-pattering. “Sitting up again, and it’s almost 2AM,” initial lyrical sentiments exude reflections of a restless mind, appearing “like clockwork,” as one tries to sleep. “I’m trying to sleep away the night,” a cathartic admission arrives as bursting guitar pulses emanate, invigorating seamlessly between the dreamier emotions. “Clockwork” is fully exemplary of the quality songwriting to anticipate from Maggie Mae and her upcoming album.
