A single piano note slowly opens the door leading into No One Gets Out Alive, the recent release from Maggie Rose. A solid backbeat supports a somber melody as Maggie Rose walks the floors of the title track, memories of the past coming face to face with hopes of the future. Of the storyline, Maggie Rose explains that ‘No One Gets Out Alive as a title sounds ominous on its own, but the song isn't hopeless at all. So many events have reminded me that time isn't guaranteed, and that I'm right where I need to be. I want people to hear the urgency in the song and stop dwelling on what they're missing out on- the present is all you have, so make the most of it’. The power of the song is matched by each of the dozen tracks included on No One Gets Out Alive. Piano notes march into the advice on “Too Young” while “Vanish” writes forgiveness into the words and Rock’n’Roll guitar riffs announce finger-pointing and chest-poking to a former lover now named “Dead Weight”.
 
Musically, No One Gets Out Alive is the sound of Americana music drifting through the woodlands of Laurel Canyon circa 1970-something. The melodies blend without claiming any one musical style for their own, mirroring the vocals of Maggie Rose, her chameleon voice collecting touches of Rock, Country, and Soul to build each note. Maggie Rose speaks to higher power decision makers as she questions the ways of fellow humans in “Under the Sun”, beckoning seductively into “Mad Love” as she takes aim at heart burns, and warning the world of her intentions over the funky rhythms in “Underestimate Me” as No One Gets Out Alive wages a “Lonely War” on a dreamscape of sound, delivers “Fake Flowers” as a declaration, and exits on the piano reverie of “Another Sad Song”.
