Alt pop singer Maggie Andrew releases her second single of 2025 with "How to Sing for Money." The DIY single is a step by step lo-fi pop that showcases the current state of the music industry. After the stadium pop ballad "Fall Like a Feather," Andrew gives listeners a peek into her process and often the music standard of crafting a hit. Leaning on the '80s guitar tones, "How to Sing for Money" is a nice tongue play on what it really takes to make it in music.

Pain pervades the track, each darkening lyric honing in on the underbelly of the industry. Maggie Andrew hammers home a warning with the track to potential musicians. Despite connecting with high-profile artists like blackbear, Andrew understands how outside social media and outside praise can give the illusion of "making it."

"How to Sing for Money" is a must listen to for up-and-coming musicians. Like many of her previous songs, Andrew doesn't shy away from raw emotion. Despite its very catchy production, the track does reflect a growing concern among artists in terms of the music industry. With many record labels pushing their artists to a formulaic TikTok sound, Maggie Andrew's "How to Sing for Money" steps in like a fairy godmother to help wayward musicians find their voice and freedom.

"How to Sing for Money" is available on all music streaming platforms.
