Margaret Durante Drops "Maybe Tonight" Video

Country newcomer Margaret Durante is quickly becoming one of the hottest new stars in country music. She has just released her brand-new video for the catchy "Maybe Tonight," has already been creating a buzz at country radio prior to its official release on April 19. It is the title track from her four-song EP. It showcases her stellar vocal range on the collection and is also a sample of what's to come on her full length album, "Words On Frosted Glass," that's due out late summer or early fall.
The 22-year-old Maryland native relocated to Nashville three years ago to pursue her music full-time. Durante, a gifted songwriter and talented singer, takes pride in her role in country music and hopes to be someone kids can look up to and emulate. She has the triple threat: She's got a strong, vibrant voice; her gift of music and penchant for lyrics stands out among her contemporaries, and she's beautiful-not just on the outside, but inside as well.
"Maybe Tonight" that she describes as 'fun and flirty,' has an infectious melody and the harmonies and production are really good. It's lighthearted and flirty and entertaining. "And sort of an icebreaker. And I wanted to show that fun side of my personality with this song. I wrote it with Blair Daily and Rachel Proctor," explains the rising country star. "I was in the beginning of a new relationship, and I always draw from my own experiences. I wanted to show the excitement of the early stages of a relationship." The song shows off her strong and soulful alto as she sings playful lyrics about hoping for the best with an unrequited love. It's a song that, given the right mojo at radio, will be a breakthrough hit for Durante.
The whimsical video was shot in downtown Nashville, but Durante explains she wants the viewer to feel like it could be any town, conjuring memories all of us have about budding romance. It's every kid's dream: "We turned an old school bus into a traveling cupcake shop!" Durante tells The Boot of her brand-new video: "I play a hippie who takes this old bus from city to city, and this guy comes to see her everyday, trying to catch her attention." Durante channels that excitement through a little choreography in the clip, something rarely seen in country music. But the blond beauty isn't trying to be Nashville's answer to Britney Spears; rather she wanted to add a unique theatrical element to help bring the song's lyrics to life.
