Interview with Madeline The Person
b'We had the pleasure of interviewing Madeline the Person over Zoom video!
Imagine a world where pain dissolves into pops of color and trauma transforms into art meant to be passed along like a smile. Alt-Pop wunderkind Madeline the Person unlocks that world on her debut EP, CHAPTER 1: The Longing, out today on Warner Records.
Sonically and visually, \\u201cI Talk To The Sky\\u201d brings listeners right into the heart of Personville\\u2014her rainbow-colored art emporium where all humans and all feelings are welcome to express themselves. In the clip, she bounces on a trampoline against a clear cloud-less blue sky. The video jumps from her in a valley ensconced by mountains to sitting on a bed in the middle of a field, clutching her teddy bear as she sings. The earthy beat underscores an emotionally charged elegy as she confesses, \\u201cI write down the things I wish I could say to you. I talk to the sky.\\u201d
Of the song, she recalls, \\u201cI wrote \\u2018I Talk To The Sky\\u2019 a couple of weeks after my dad passed away when I was 15. It felt really weird to want to talk to him about the fact that he had died, but he was the only person I actually couldn\\u2019t talk to. So, at night, I told the sky everything I wanted to tell him, and I imagined the sky as the perfect messenger. The sky became my really good friend. Talking to the sky got me through the hardest point in my life, so I hope this song encourages others to try their own version of it. Talk to anything or anyone about your feelings, and you will be set free.\\u201d
Elsewhere on the EP, soft acoustic guitar wraps around her warm delivery on \\u201cGoing Home.\\u201d The project concludes with the standout \\u201cGladly.\\u201d As strings uphold delicate piano, she reveals, \\u201cSo I\\u2019ll tell you the secrets to survive, you just laugh and cry harder and scream to survive.\\u201d
Madeline the Person feels everything at once. Bright and colorful on the outside, the Houston, Texas native uses her music to express the more painful aspects of her world. Having built a substantial following on TikTok (nearly 500k followers) with covers of Frank Ocean, Phoebe Bridgers, Harry Styles, Lizzo, Joni Mitchell, Queen and more, the 19-year-old makes her first foray into original music with the release of her EP, \\u2018CHAPTER 1: The Longing,\\u2019 which includes\\xa0the somber & evocative\\xa0"As a Child,\\u201d as well as \\u201cI Talk to the Sky,\\u201d\\xa0both deep\\xa0reflections on grief & the loss of her father.\\xa0With several more heartfelt releases in store for 2021, Madeline the Person is already shining as bright as the future that lies ahead.
