Maggie Sayles comes from Portland, Oregon. Most of the time, she works as a multimedia producer, but she has a real passion in her life: the songwriting. Her album entitled “Trust” has just been released. Maggie presents on it 9 songs, which make me think of a good rock playing, similar to the works of Bob Dylan, Gordon Haskell or Bruce Springsteen.
Anyway, on "Trust” CD one can find more such flavors, musical pearls and heart-moving sounds. Wise and not trivial lyrics deserve a separate reference. All in all, they concern the different aspects of love and other feelings connected with it: nostalgia, longing, loneliness, but they also touch taboo subjects such as molesting children (“Rock The Cradle”), the events on Tiananmen square in June 1989 (“I See Red”) or a cruel crime (“Sharp Shooter”). Maggie sings about those touchy subjects in a way, which makes it impossible to be indifferent to them.
To sum up, her work is a good melodic rock with wise lyrics and a thought provoking messages.
