In an upbeat new single titled “Whiskey”, Abbie Mac details the rollercoaster journey of young love. Balancing her social life and her romantic life, she tells the story of a ‘situationship’ that, during the week is nothing but a problem, but becomes true love the second a bit of whiskey is added to the scenario. Mac spent this past summer on tour, and “Whiskey” quickly became a hit with the fans. It's fun soundscape and snaps throughout the track creates an interactive and enjoyable listen, and the lyrics tell an actual story that many can relate to. This combination perfectly encapsulates the adventure of love in your 20s, and Mac’s point of view is nothing but relatable.
The song starts with a country twang, and a scene where Mac gets into her lover’s truck. They very quickly get into an argument about infidelity, and end with the pre chorus, in which she sings “All my friends are so fed up / Of hearing about us / I said I want you dead but I guess”. However, by the time the weekend and start of the chorus rolls around, her point of view has changed to singing, “I guess the whiskey changed my mind / We get back together every Friday night”. She clearly is not letting this back and forth become too upsetting, however, as the song says upbeat and fun until the end. Mac is letting the situation play out as it goes, and reminding herself to have fun throughout.
Abbie Mac has been making music since the age of 13, when she began to post country covers. Hailing from Derry, Northern Ireland, Mac connected to the small town twang and sense of rural community behind country music. She ties this into her own work, and seems to have mastered the Nashville twang. She has released three original singles on Spotify, along with her plethora of covers from artists such as Zach Bryan, Luke Combs, and Brooks & Dunn. Already amassing almost 30,000 monthly listeners, Mac is nothing but excited to release her first EP Take Me To Nashville soon.
