Madelline is a rising artist pushing forward a unique genre she calls “theatrical pop.” Think immersive sonic vignettes, dramatic vocals, and catchy melodies. Her latest release “Happy as Hell” captures the pressure of living in the modern world amidst endless distractions and false realities at our fingertips. Madelline struggles with measuring up to her sky-high expectations under the chokehold of comparing herself to others.
“Happy as Hell” mesmerizes with intense beats, saccharine harmonies, and a cathartic hook that unearths the inner-thoughts we’ve all been having. Madelline sings, “I’m such a loser / Wish I was cooler / I’m never gonna measure up I think I need to use a different ruler.” The song is a brutally honest and grippingly self-aware dive through Madelline’s psyche. “Happy as Hell” reworks her insecurities, frustrations, and doubts into a cheeky pop anthem that’s overflowing with attitude.
Revealing more on her track, Madelline confides, “The single “Happy as Hell” is about feeling like you’re falling behind in life. This anthemic song has cinematic strings and ushers in my new era of what I call Theatrical Pop.”
Madelline has recently performed alongside artists among the likes of Em Beihold and Sub Urban. She previously held the #1 position on Billboard’s Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart with her single “I’m Only Here for the Beat”. “Happy as Hell” is the start of a new chapter for Madelline as she continues to explore the realm of theatrical pop.
