The track is from the celebrated American artist’s excellent debut LP From Both Eyes

Her enchanting and conversational style is something that makes Nan Macmillan‘s sound feel instantly disarming and charming, almost more like a chats with an old friend than songs, with the artist laying down her thoughts, feelings and often vulnerabilities with a candid sense of honesty and authenticity.

Her latest single ‘Mad Sometimes’, the first track from her lauded new album From Both Eyes, sees the artist venting about a conversation with her ex that irked her on a recent trip back to see her family in Virginia. The track feels almost cathartic and therapeutic in nature, with the artist getting everything off her chest and exploring the litany of thoughts traversing through her mind. Her sound makes for an affable enough canvas for such a track, melodic and engrossing in all of the right ways while allowing her effortless storytelling to take centre stage, and wonderful showcase of the artist and a glowing glimpse of what else is in store on the album as a whole.
