Melbourne Based Artist MADI LEEDS Drops Catchy New Single ‘IDENTITY’

Melbourne’s own MADI LEEDS states her intentions to make waves within the Australian music scene with the new Single Identity. A seasoned performer at a young age, MADI already has a wealth of experience both gigging around the city of Melbourne and writing in a wide array of genres. Now working within the realm of Synth Pop, Madi’s musical output takes on inspiration from acts such as HAIM, St. Vincent, Eliza & The Delusionals. Produced by Gab Strum (Japanese Wallpaper) Identity will be released via the newly formed Push Records and poised to be a breakout hit for the up and coming artist.

About the Track MADI says “Identity’ was written about a time where I accidentally ended up with pink hair and was confronted with some decisions to make in my life. After going through most of 2020 in Melbourne in lockdown, you realise what’s truly important to you.

It’s something I need to work on, but I hate disappointing people or being stuck in a situation where I can’t please everyone at once and I’m conflicted. Identity relates back to this as I had to really think about what the best option for myself is, without any influence. Trusting that everything eventually will be okay. “

The personality that shines throughout Madi’s music is extremely evident with this track as it delivers her typical anecdotal storytelling that is extremely relatable. Paired with warm layered Synthesisers and instrumentals that follow indie rock principals, Identity offers up a lot of distinguishable traits found in current trending contemporary genres.

Identity will be released on the 18th of June and will be MADI LEEDS first single since being signed by the newly formed Push Records. It is an infinitely catchy and unique take on Indie/Synth Pop and will be available online via Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal and Deezer.

Alias Wayne celebrates the beauty of genuine affection on latest release “Tribute”

Alias Wayne brings the romantic message to the fore with “Tribute,” a song written to celebrate someone whose qualities deserve recognition and appreciation. The whole release is really about love and wanting the world to know how special someone is to you. It’s a simple yet significant idea, especially since the song takes an appreciation-based approach to romance rather than focusing on the thrill of attraction.

As the track progresses, the addition of shakers and hand drum adds yet another layer of rhythmic character, giving the arrangement a lively quality. What I really like is how these elements help the song move forward without detracting from its romantic message.

The lyric direction also keeps affection at the center, expressing admiration for someone’s qualities and a desire to get closer through a personal invitation to share a dance. It gives the song a warm, accessible feel. “Tribute” is a release that celebrates someone special. Alias Wayne blends a message of love with guitar, percussion, and rhythmic movement. It’s a nice treat for fans of romantic songs with a personal touch.

Séhkou unveils a beautiful connection between faith and intimacy on latest release “Song of Songs 1:3-4 (I Know)”

Romance meets spiritual expression in Séhkou’s new single, “Song of Songs 1:3-4 (I Know),” featuring Angélica Allen. The release provides a fresh take on attraction and intimacy. The song blends hip-hop with soul and R&B influences, celebrating a bond between two people who genuinely choose and cherish each other. Rather than the indecision of chasing after someone who keeps their distance, it’s about mutual affection, desire, and the reassurance of being wanted back.

I particularly appreciate the solemn flute that flows throughout the track. This gives the arrangement an interesting musical character and strengthens the connection between the romantic and spiritual themes. The rap rhythm is also noteworthy, bringing a different feel to the track, while keeping the lyrical focus front and center.

Allen’s spoken-scripture intro and outro provide an important framework for the record, connecting its expressions of intimacy to a sense of reverence. Song of Songs 1:3-4 (I Know) has something meaningful to offer listeners who appreciate music that goes beyond surface attraction to explore love. Séhkou blends hip-hop, soul, R&B, and spiritual expression thoughtfully.
