The hotly-tipped UK indie outfit continue to establish their dynamic appeal on their first new single of 2026
Hailed as one of the UK’s most exciting rising bands and packed full of vibrant, guitar-driven energy, Florentenes have continued to establish their hard-hitting appeal with the release of ‘Madeline’, the first indication that 2026 is going to see them truly emerge as breakout stars.
The track is packed full of fun moments and a raw, cathartic edge throughout, invoking the kind of frenetic indie rock chaos that has fuelled their rapidly growing live following. Narratively, the track explores themes like connection and the liberating sense of freedom that comes with living in the moment and taking life as it comes, and the flowing and impactful nature of this sound does an incredible job of encapsulating these feelings.
Frontman William Train Smith explains, ‘Madeline is about those moments of chance, connection and letting yourself be swept up in life, the highs, the heartbreaks, and the energy that comes from just living in the moment’
