Christchurch, New Zealand-based artist Madeline releases an intense, ultra-feminine indie pop tune called ‘consume’ on the 7th of October that will blow your heart out. She combines hypnotic lounge vocals and traps bars to create beautiful and deep music for us to enjoy on all levels. She’s heavily inspired by female music queens like herself, like Amy Winehouse and Lady Gaga. Madeline studied at the Auckland University Jazz School and is a founding member of the all-girl rockers, SHE LOVES YOU.
An extra slow-burn song, Madeline is sexy and seductive with her storytelling. The song is apparently talking about some form of toxicity. The overall sound of the song is chill, hypnotic and tantalizing. The soundscape is almost an R&B vibe but makes it pop and the melody is sweet. The musical arrangement is rich with a lot of drums, and cymbals, with subtle synthy violin and bass sound effects. There are also what seem to be some funny electric guitar sound effects that give the song a different vibe. A notable sound is snippets of muffled male vocals that speak at the back of the song. Madeline’s vocals are insanely smooth and melodic, she definitely knows how to entertain us with her voice. We expect great things from Madeline and we’re really excited about what is to come.
