Madeline Edwards is a genre-defying singer-songwriter whose music seamlessly blends country, jazz, soul, and rock influences into a sound that is uniquely her own. With a voice that carries both power and vulnerability, she has captivated audiences with her authenticity, story telling, and rich, emotive delivery. Born in California and raised in Houston, Texas, Edwards first gained widespread recognition with her breakout performances in 2021, leading to national television appearances, a debut album (Crashlanded), and critical acclaim for her ability to push genre boundaries while staying rooted in heartfelt, deeply personal songwriting. She has since shared the stage with some of music’s most iconic artists, performing alongside Alanis Morissette and joining Chris Stapleton on his All-American Road Show tour, further cementing her reputation as one of the most compelling new voices in modern music. Now, after a two-and-a-half-year hiatus from releasing music, Edwards returns with her much-anticipated sophomore album—a record that comes from the depths of loss, resilience, and rediscovery. In that time, she endured the heartbreaking loss of her beloved brother, being dropped from a major label, and the long, arduous fight to reclaim her voice and artistry. Through it all, she emerged stronger, crafting a body of work that reflects not just her pain, but her triumph. With a renewed spirit and an undeniable presence, Edwards is ready to step back into the spotlight—not just as an artist, but as a survivor, a storyteller, and a force to be reckoned within modern music
