Australian artist Maddison Kate is known for her poetic lyrics, folk melodies, and earthy tones. She has just released her new EP, What I’d Say To You, featuring four songs that each give a voice to the things left unsaid — from fiery goodbyes and sleepless nights, to the quiet work of accepting yourself.
The EP kicks off with a pared-down and inviting track, entitled “A Truth”. This song features gorgeous vocals and an emotionally intimate feel. With its perfectly placed mandolin, piano, drums, and sweeping violin, it becomes a bit more lively and catchy as the song goes on. A wonderful introduction to this release. In “More To Me,” strings punctuate the heartfelt style of Maddison’s vocals and the depth of her lyrics. This song explores the feelings that come from being better off without someone, but hoping for them to change.
Stripped-back and introspective, the next track feels like Maddison at her most vulnerable and raw. “Alive” is about broken hearts and the painful thoughts that come to the surface when you’re on your own with that heartbreak. Then, with its lyrical themes of growth and healing, “Flowered Heart” closes off this beautifully-crafted EP. Violin, 12-string guitar, and piano are the perfect accompaniment to Maddison’s impeccable voice.
Overall, What I’d Say To You is an emotionally-charged and intimate collection of songs, wth Maddison Kate’s voice, melodies, and lyrics working perfectly together to create a cohesive and compelling work of art.
