Although seemingly fresh-faced and doe-eyed, this 19-year-old examines what it means to be a young woman at the turn of the decade.
Accumulating over 6 million views on YouTube, Brittany Maggs has ventured forth as a rising force to be reckoned with, and being compared to the likes of other beloved Australian pop acts such as Kylie Minogue and Delta Goodrem doesn’t hurt either. Collaborating with names such as Jonas Jeberg (Selena Gomez, Panic! At The Disco), and Mike Jay (Ciara) has set her on a path to success. Not only nationally, but in the global pop realm.
Off the back of her single ‘Lazy Boy’ released early last year and supporting Dami Im’s national tour, she has released new track ‘Underneath The Sheets’ today. It continues Maggs’ exploratory journey into herself and her femininity.

The subject matter, although sombre, muses on negotiating intimacy and desire within the early stages of a relationship. Maggs’ unadulterated thoughts are communicated melodically, encouraging her listeners to delve into their own. Contrasting the rawness of the lyrics, the charged beat that cuts through her effortless vocals amplifies the song’s call to dance.
And dance we will, with ‘Underneath The Sheets’ being the perfect anti-relationship anthem to get us through the final days of Summer.
As a Tone Deaf exclusive, Brittany herself also sat down to record a stripped back version of Linkin Park’s ‘Numb’. Accompanied solely by a guitar, her dynamic range and sugary-bright tone make the song completely her own. Being somewhat of a model of empowerment and moxie, her choice of song and impassioned rendition is faultless.
