Breakout Singer-Songwriter Michael Marcagi Releases New Single 'Flyover State'

Rising singer, songwriter and celebrated storyteller Michael Marcagi shares a heartfelt new single entitled “Flyover State." “‘Flyover State’ is a song about falling into the trap of imposter syndrome and feeling like you don’t belong,” Marcagi explains. “It’s about taking risks, going new places, and stepping out of your comfort zone”

As with each new release from Marcagi, he reveals the heart of the matter from the very onset, with the upbeat mandolin underscoring his emotionally charged delivery. Lyrically, he wrestles with the day-to-day grind, “I look around, and this life ain't mine. I’m in the backseat watching the world pass me by.” A driving beat kicks in and uplifts the soaring refrain, “I’m stuck in a flyover state of mind.” 

“Flyover State” lands in the wake of the recent fan-favorite “Midwest Kid.” Holler hailed the song as a “nostalgic, uptempo earworm,” before noting, “Michael Marcagi continues to cement himself as one of the most exciting new voices in the folk landscape.”

“Midwest Kid” followed on the heels of recent singles “Keep Me Honest,” “Good Enough”—which was co-written by Wesley Schultz of The Lumineers—and “Tear It All Apart.” Of “Tear It All Apart,” HITS professed, “Its melancholy verses give way to a rousing, redemptive chorus. The buzz on Marcagi is getting louder; he’s a true-blue story teller.” Flaunt Magazine observed, “Quite the lyricist, evoking an inspiring and relatable feeling - resonating deeply, and immediately , with those who hear it.”  

Marcagi arrived on the scene in 2024 with his Warner Records debut EP American Romance. Its Platinum-certified lead single, “Scared to Start,” reached #5 on the Billboard Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, amassing more than 4 billion TikTok views and nearly 800 million global streams in the process. This past June, Marcagi made his late night TV debut performing the hit on Late Night With Seth Meyers.

Marcagi is currently on the road for a run of US headline dates. Shortly after wrapping up in the US, Marcagi will be supporting The Lumineers on their EU/UK arena tour in April and May, and then will join Rainbow Kitten Surprise across the Southeastern US in June.
