Madeline Edwards Essentials

Madeline Edwards Essentials

With a powerful, distinctive voice and a uniquely cross-genre perspective, Madeline Edwards uses country music as a jumping-off point for songs that blend rock, soul, and more. Her best-known single “Mama, Dolly, Jesus” toys with familiar country music tropes on catchy, pop-polished hooks that allow Edwards to show off her range. That song was one of a number of memorable entries on her debut album Crashlanded, which featured both Edwards’ evocative balladry (on “Why I’m Calling”) and barn-burning anthems ready for the big stage, like “Hold My Horses.” Edwards pays homage to her hometown of Houston on “Port City,” an understated ballad about moving onward and upward. Her versatility is showcased on her Apple Music Sessions tracks, which include expert covers of Beyoncé, Childish Gambino, Gregory Alan Isakov, and Jungle’s groovy dance track “Casio.” Her willingness to blend country and dance music is also showcased on “Heart You Can’t Break,” which has a bit of a twang to go along with its disco flair.
