She was rated in fifth place in the BBC Sound of 2011 list of the top 15 most promising new artists. Maguire was also singled out as one of MTV's Brand New: For 2011 Acts. Her voice has been compared to Stevie Nicks and Annie Lennox.

Maguire's debut album, Light After Dark, was released on 28 February 2011. When she was 17, Maguire began travelling regularly to London to establish music contacts and also began posting demo songs on MySpace.

One of these tracks, Strangest Thing, recorded with Joe Flory (Primary 1) approached 500,000 plays, leading to interest from a number of major recording companies. Maguire was also invited to Jay-Z's restaurant to meet the American rapper and millionaire businessman and other well established recording artists, including Jarvis Cocker, who was impressed and offered her one of his songs.

Maguire signed a recording contract with Polydor Records in 2008 and then worked on her debut album Light After Dark with producer Fraser T. Smith, who has previously worked with Kylie Minogue and Adele.
