On Aug. 30, Maggie Rose participated in HeadCount's 'Get Your Vote On' virtual concert, which promoted voter registration. During the event, Rose performed the two tracks from her upcoming Quarantine 45 release: "20/20" and "Only Human (I Wanna Get Out)."
The new release is due out Sept. 18, but "20/20" will be released on Sept. 11. Quarantine 45 was written and produced entire in isolation by Rose and her bandmates Sarah Tomek, Alex Haddad and Larry Florman.
Rose first wrote the chorus for "20/20" after one of her songwriting heroes John Prine lost his battle with COVID-19.
“The four of us were on my back porch hacking away at the lyrics and trying to encapsulate in this eerie tune what we were all feeling in the midst of this dumpster fire of a year,” Rose shared in a press release. “We all felt swept away in a figurative tornado that was destroying everything in its path. We felt the immediate pain of the literal tornado that devastated our beloved neighborhood, so we wanted the chord progression to swirl around the listener in a dizzying way to mimic that feeling.”
