Maddison Kate's Soulful Journey Through ‘What I’d Say to You’

Maddison Kate’s debut EP, 'What I’d Say to You', is an exciting exploration of raw emotion, musical depth, and in-depth storytelling. This collection of four tracks offers an intimate glimpse into the Meanjin based indie folk artist’s soul, portraying the unspoken thoughts and feelings that often linger in the spaces between us and those we’ve loved.

The EP opens with 'A Truth', with an expanse of emotions. From the start, it’s clear that Maddison’s ability to intertwine her storytelling is on full display. The track encapsulates the emotional peaks and valleys of a breakup. It’s a vivid reflection of everything left unsaid in the aftermath of love, as Maddison expresses what she wishes she could have said to someone who walked away.

Next comes 'More to Me', a song marked by a sense of longing. This track quietly delves into the complexities of self acceptance after a relationship. It’s about finding strength in the space left behind and confronting the bittersweet hope for change, both in the person you once loved and in yourself.

'Alive' follows, offering a stripped back sound that exposes the fragility of the heart, that mirrors the internal chaos of dealing with heartbreak without any clear reason behind it. It’s a track that explores the lonely, often isolating feeling of emotional turmoil, when you’re unsure what’s broken but can’t escape the overwhelming pain.

Finally, the EP ends on a note of healing with 'Flowered Heart'. The track blooms with a sense of optimism. Maddison’s vocals beautifully dance across the arrangement, delivering a message of acceptance and the understanding that healing is never a straight line.

'What I’d Say to You' is an emotional mosaic, with each track offering a new perspective on love, loss, and personal growth. Maddison Kate’s debut EP marks the arrival of a fresh, contemplative voice in indie folk music.
