Cut to Impress

Cut to Impress is the debut studio album by American country music artist Maggie Rose.

The album's third and final single, "Looking Back Now", was released on January 20, 2014, and reached a peak of number 46 on the Country Airplay chart.

Daryl Addison of GAC gave Cut to Impress a positive review and said that the album "more than lives up to its name with a wholly-unique blend of bluesy, R&B flavored country that is as sexy as it is fierce."

"[4] Steve Leggett of Allmusic proclaimed that Cut to Impress "does indeed impress, full of well-recorded, well-sung tracks that are poised to shine on contemporary country radio and yet cohere together in a solid sonic statement", which the albums sound is steady, and contains "forward mixed drums giving things a big sound and swampy electric guitars giving it some bite and snarl.

"[3] Lastly, Leggett evoked that Rose "has a powerful and slightly blues-infused voice, blonde good looks, and the kind of sassy, playful, take-no-bullshit attitude that makes her performances stand out in a crowd, a kind of good girl next door who isn't a stranger to turning up the bad girl alter ego when the song demands it.
