Madeleen unveils musical odyssey of her soul-stirring EP “Someone Standing Here”
French artist Madeleen, at just 25, is carving a distinctive presence in the music world with her latest original EP, “Someone Standing Here.” This release is a profoundly personal and masterfully crafted four-track collection highlighting her songwriting and production prowess. The project originated during her formative years, commencing at the age of six when she began playing her mother’s piano. Employing velvety vocals and complex instrumental layers, Madeleen provides an intimate auditory experience that captivates from start to finish.
The mesmerizing EP opens with the title track, “Someone Standing Here,” a potent pop anthem imbued with emotional resonance, effectively setting the overall tone for the project. Inspired by her father’s struggle with Alzheimer’s, the song serves as both a lament and a mechanism for cathartic expression. Through sweeping melodies and hauntingly honest lyrics, Madeleen articulates the disorientation of witnessing a loved one undergo significant change and decline before her eyes, skillfully transforming anguish into art with stunning vulnerability.
Following this emotional introduction, “Revelation“ unfolds as a shimmering, introspective composition that delves into self-worth and personal evolution themes. With soulful undertones and intricate harmonies, the song evokes the bittersweet nature of unexpected realizations, encouraging listeners to find strength amid life’s unpredictable circumstances. It’s an evocative and immersive listening experience, carrying an air of emotional renewal.
Subsequently, “The Eye of Your Storm“ emerges as an empowering anthem advocating for self-liberation, placing the listener at the core of emotional upheaval. This track addresses the reclamation of autonomy after heartbreak, illustrating the journey beyond the sorrow and betrayal of a cheating relationship. With layered harmonies and a rhythmic, cinematic soundscape, Madeleen delivers a song that feels like a sonic revolution, a rallying point for those navigating the therapeutic undercurrent of their personal histories.
Closing out the EP, “I Love You,“ offers a profoundly moving meditation on love, loss, and transformative personal evolution. The track features beautifully pulsating rhythms, and Madeleen’s trembling, emotive vocal delivery creates an intoxicating mix of vulnerability and empowerment. This final, soul-stirring moment perfectly encapsulates the overarching themes of love, resilience, and self-discovery throughout the EP.
“Someone Standing Here” exemplifies Madeleen’s talent for merging classic pop sensibilities with captivating storytelling. The impeccable production incorporates lush arrangements and intricate beats that invite listeners into her world. As she continues to push creative boundaries, Madeleen solidifies her position as a compelling voice in contemporary music. With this release, she contributes significantly to her discography and establishes herself as an artist poised for greater recognition, with an enchanting sound likely to resonate with a broad audience.

Bailey Bomar embraces authenticity and change with alt-pop anthem “Not Me”
The bravest thing you can do in your life is leave the version of yourself that other people expect. That tension is the emotional center of “Not Me,” a cinematic electronic pop tune that questions expectations and empowers rising alt-pop artist Bailey Bomar to choose an authentic direction.
“Not Me” has a kinetic feel that comes from the music itself, built on shimmering synths and driving guitars, and a clear 80s new wave influence. It was produced by UK producer Mike Macdermid and has a polished, expansive feel that suits the emotional theme. The track converts the doubt to momentum.
“Not Me” was written before Bomar became a wife and mother and is about a time of questioning the future and realizing that you can want a different life without rejecting the life others envision for you. Bomar’s alt-pop approach puts the track right in between introspective songwriting and anthemic electronic sound. The production has emotional purpose, creating a vibe that’s both reflective and current. Bailey Bomar turns a moment of self-doubt into an alt-pop anthem about independence, identity, and the power to dream of a future of your own making. It’s a promising release from a storyteller with a story to tell.
