SCORPIO

The confident, fearless, and unapologetic woman you hear on SCORPIO was born from the ashes of heartbreak and a toxic relationship. After eight and a half years of fighting for their love, Madisons relationship with her then fiance/manager had soured beyond repair, which meant she had to end a life partnership, dissolve a business relationship, and cancel a wedding. We was posed to get married today/ instead Im here, all alone/ in a home/ with no one to call my own/ got me wonderin did I make a mistake in choosing who to/ say I do to, Madison sings on the revelatory I Dont. In the song, she conveys a feeling thats somewhere between sadness and the thrill of liberation. Its a chromatic, multi-textured moment whose conflicting emotions give the songwriting a depth of reality - it resonates because if you ever loved and lost youve felt this way. There are moments like this throughout SCORPIO. For Madison, love - specifically self-love - is a teacher, a revealer of truths. Its this albums inspiration and, ultimately, her savior. I went through what I went through to emerge on the other side of it as a better person and to find love, she confides. I truly believe that I went through it because Ive created art thats going to change my life. SCORPIO is what it sounds like when the stars align.
