The emerging LA artist continues to rise in acclaim and reverence with each release.

LA-Based musician and songwriter Maddie Ballard has made a really endearing reputation for herself as an artist with a distinctly colourful and fun indie pop sound that is packed full of playful moments that showcase her winning sense of charm and personality.

The latest release from the artist is her new single Airplane Mode’, a track about navigating the early stages of a relationship and feeling like you have to conceal things that you feel may change their perception of you. As always, the track is littered with the quirks and splashes of uniqueness that make her sound feel so engaging. There is more than a small amount of irony in the fact that the track is about hiding away your inner goofiness and the things that truly make you distinctive and “you”, when these are the exact things that have made this track among others feel so captivating and special.
