Alt-pop trailblazer Maggie Andrew returns with her latest project, HOW TO SING FOR MONEY—a genre-defying EP that blends shimmering synths, raw lyricism, and fearless sonic experimentation. Featuring standout singles like “Fall Like A Feather,” “Emotional Touchdown,” and the title track, the release marks a pivotal moment in Andrew’s artistic evolution.

With a top 60 debut on US pop radio, HOW TO SING FOR MONEY showcases Andrew’s signature blend of vulnerability and edge. From existential reflections to jet-set disillusionment, each track is a window into her world—one where melody meets meaning, and pop refuses to play by the rules.

“This EP reveals who I am and what I can do when given the tools and the opportunity,” Andrew shares.

That opportunity came in the form of her 2024 win in CBC Music’s Searchlight competition, earning her a recording residency at Calgary’s National Music Centre. Before heading west, Andrew spent a month in Toronto writing with longtime collaborators Carleton Stone and Kyle Mischiek—whose personal and creative ties helped spark the EP’s emotional depth.

???? Track Highlights:

  • “Emotional Touchdown” captures the emptiness behind glamor
  • “Father Figure” reflects on growing up and letting go
  • “If God Was Real” challenges belief with buoyant folk-pop
  • “Did You Cry” erupts into distortion-fueled catharsis
  • “Fall Like A Feather” closes the EP with resilience and grace

Accompanying the release is the cinematic video for “Did You Cry,” directed by MOOSECANFLY. In it, Andrew plays a runaway bride escaping a toxic relationship—symbolizing heartbreak, chaos, and the strength to walk away.

“I embrace my flair and attitude,” Andrew says. “My voice is what makes my sound my own.”

With over 6 million streams and accolades from Rolling Stone, Billboard, and Alternative Press, Maggie Andrew continues to redefine alt-pop on her own terms. Her music is rooted in lived experience—exploring identity, womanhood, and the pursuit of confidence through chaos.
