On her latest single the artist looks back on one of the most unique years of her life.
It’s never in doubt what you’re going to get from Madisyn Gifford at this point, with her sincere and candid writing and ever-charming, melodic indie pop sound, the artist has carved out a reputation as one of the most reliable sources of huge pop bops in recent memory, and her reflective new single ’21’ continues this trend.
The track bounces with a sense of affable honesty and thoughtfulness as she takes a look at the most influential year of her adult life so far. Due to the global pandemic and other factors, the year truly proved to be a one of a kind and memorable year for the artist, and her effortlessly engaging sound does a really nice job of encapsulating this feeling of wonder and really help her come to terms with the reality she was faced with. As always, her fun pop sound brings a real accessible and organically memorable feel to the track, but ’21’ continues to showcase the depth and range of Madisyn as an artist and the unique lens with which she can portray her feelings and emotions.
On the single Madisyn shares, “21 has been my lucky number for as long as I can remember and because of that, my entire life I have always placed really high expectations on what my 21st year was going to be like. I wrote this song with Jared Manierka at a time when I was feeling really frustrated because I had not been having a year even close to the 21 that I had always imagined due to COVID and some other life circumstances I was dealing with. This was one of those magical songs where after I wrote it, I was able to look at the issues I was having more clearly and luckily the second half of my 21st year was nothing short of magical. I’m so proud of this track and I think that it is going to be so much fun to perform and scream along in the car to. I hope people enjoy dancing around their kitchen to it as much as I do!”
