    Absolutely incredible debut, especially for a youthful duo. The songs are packed with energy, integrity, and passion. The production is a plus as well. Not a single song disappoints. Maddie & Tae are ready to take country by storm.

    They mainly settle into a sound and focus on harmonies, on unsurprising but carefully designed songs they can saturate with emotion.

    Even when the sentiments are more traditional, though, Maddie & Tae sound tough-minded and stout-hearted.

    Start Here does a great job of cataloging the highs and lows of early milestones: first kisses, first breakups, leaving home for the first time.
