MAGGIE McCLURE TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM IN FEBRUARY
Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter-pianist Maggie McClure is set to release her new album, Time Moves On, on February 11, 2014, on her own label. A majestic and atmospheric album of her most intimate songwriting, Time Moves On was produced by Justin Glasco (Dan Wilson, Tyler Hilton, Gary Jules, Margaret Cho, Adrianne Gonzalez, Garrison Starr and Cary Brothers).
“I feel extremely connected to this album,” McClure says. “It’s very personal, and I did a lot experimenting. I didn’t want to play it safe. It’s about embarking on new and unpredictable journeys and making improvements to create your future.”
Time Moves On is ethereal and expansive, with achingly gorgeous vocals, moody guitars, and playfully quirky keyboard touches. The album chronicles her move from Norman, Oklahoma to Los Angeles to further pursue her music career, and a new and empowered outlook on life based on being brave enough to seek out and embrace a centered existence. Time Moves On follows a self-titled album, two EPs, a handful of singles, an impressive synch licensing resume, and nearly a thousand shows.
McClure’s gift for confessional songwriting that’s broad appealing has enabled her music to garner plum synch placements. Her songs have appeared in the film Cowgirls N’ Angels, and in such television shows as Dr. Phil, The Real World, Worst Prom Ever, The Hills, The City, The Vineyard, and The Young And The Restless. As a performer, she’s done a staggering 750+ shows across the United States—on separate occasions opening for Sara Bareilles and Tony Lucca. She sang the National Anthem at the first NBA playoff game in Oklahoma history with more than 18,000 people in attendance.
Additionally, McClure has been knocking on different doors of the entertainment business to further her music career. She was a featured background extra on Matthew Morrison’s (Mr. Schu in Glee) music video for “It Don’t Mean A Thing,” and she is currently singing the role of Violetta on the English version of Disney Channel Latin America’s Violetta that is airing in the UK and across the globe.
A major factor of McClure’s success has been her hardworking nature. She is completely independent, and assumes the roles of label, booking agent, and manager. “I’m a true believer that if you want something to happen, you have to make it happen.”
