The music of Madeleine Rose Witney chronicles a vanishing world and revives it in technicolour. A torch singer born and raised in Kentish Town, her songs are keyhole glimpses into an ever-changing Soho and its ragtag eccentrics hidden underground. Her upcoming debut EP includes four stories from the London neo-noir she lives and breathes - where the showtime sparkle distracts from the darkness waiting at the doors. From Now On, the debut EP, arrives on November 13.
With an undeniable, singular presence on a song and a deep passion for tradition, Witney prepares listeners for a stellar debut with the latest single, "Struttin'." The latest single from the upcoming release is an emotional, slow-burning ballad with jazzy undertones that emphasize the nimble vocal performance. Witney's natural knack for infectious melodies adds an otherworldly feel to the heartbreaking, relatable lyrics she delivers. "Struttin'" finds our hero realizing that the love she thought she had was doing more harm than good, and learning to live with this strife. Witney softens the blow of this harsh reality by allowing the sweeping arrangement to unravel in all its colorful beauty, allowing the warping vocals to do the same, creating a waterfall of raw emotions and gentle tones. "Struttin'" introduces Witney as a poetic, heartfelt songwriter whose upcoming debut project is shaping up to be an unforgettable one.
