The track is the artist’s first new release of the year following a fruitful 2024
An artist with a sound that has always had a real feeling of authenticity and heart to it, Maddy Carty delves into what might just be her most vulnerable and moving territory yet in the form of her latest single ‘Dark Circles’, a track that explores her struggles with postpartum depression in reflective and moving fashion.
The candid and emotionally charged nature of the lyrics pairs really effortlessly with the stripped-back soundscape here, shedding light on both the difficulties that the artist has faced and also her hope for a brighter and more positive future. This honesty and intimacy goes a long way towards building a connection with the listener and providing a source of hope and kinship with those going through similar emotions and looking for a source of hope and understanding. All in all, ‘Dark Circles’ is a really powerful and multi-faceted exploration of the feelings and challenges that the artist is going through, and is articulated in a powerful and absorbing way that sticks to you for long after your listen.
