When powerhouse voices collide, sparks fly. Acclaimed artists Maggie Rose and Grace Potter have joined forces on “Poison In My Well,” a soulful, blues-steeped collaboration that brims with fire, attitude, and heart. Released via One Riot Records, the slow-burning anthem captures the raw essence of two artists unafraid to tell it like it is. With smoky harmonies, sultry grooves, and an undercurrent of rock swagger, “Poison In My Well” is a bold celebration of strength and self-assurance.
Co-written by Rose alongside longtime collaborators Melissa Fuller and Davis Naish, the song is a gritty response to envy and negativity. Produced by Naish and Ben Tanner, it channels equal parts pop, soul, and blues. “’Poison In My Well’ might be about those who can’t manage to be happy for others but I try to focus on the people who are along for the journey I’m taking them on and Grace Potter is one of those people,” Rose says. “I shared the song with her hoping she might be a part of it, and she laid her vocals down that week. I couldn’t believe my friend and one of the best voices in rock n’ roll joined me on this song.”
Potter returns the sentiment with her trademark fire. “Maggie and I have been friends for a long time and wanted to work together even before we met, so the opportunity to record ‘Poison in My Well’ was a long time coming,” she says. “It’s the perfect song for two bad bitches, framed as the good guys, but always wanting to be the villains.” Their chemistry is undeniable, each voice amplifying the other’s energy until the track becomes a cathartic roar of empowerment.
Maggie Rose continues to soar after her Grammy-nominated album No One Gets Out Alive, which earned recognition for Americana Album of the Year. She’s also up for Emerging Act Of The Year at the Americana Music Association Awards in Nashville this September, following standout collaborations with Vince Gill and performances at the Newport Folk Festival, Floyd Fest, and AmericanaFest with the Nashville Symphony.
Grace Potter, a three-time Grammy nominee, adds this electrifying duet to her ever-growing legacy. With collaborations spanning The Rolling Stones, Willie Nelson, and Chris Stapleton, and her newly unearthed T Bone Burnett–produced album Medicine out now, Potter proves she remains one of rock’s most fearless and magnetic voices. Together, Maggie Rose and Grace Potter have crafted a song that’s as defiant as it is soulful—proof that when two powerhouse women step up to the mic, everyone listens.
