Madeline The Person - CHAPTER 2: The Shedding (2021) Hi Res

Madeline the Person feels everything at once. Bright and colorful on the outside, the Houston, Texas native uses her music to express the more painful aspects of her world. Having built a substantial following on TikTok (nearly 500k followers) with covers of Frank Ocean, Phoebe Bridgers, Harry Styles, Lizzo, Joni Mitchell, Queen and more, the 19-year-old makes her second foray into original music with the release of her EP, CHAPTER 2: The Shedding, which follows the previously released CHAPTER 1. The release was heralded by lead single "Haunted":

“‘Haunted’ is a song for all of the hidden love that wants to be set free. I remember so badly needing to exclaim my love for the first time ever. It was hard to realize that coming out has to happen on your time. Be patient with the people close to you. They will tell the world who they are eventually. When they do, it will be so beautifully joyous. ‘Haunted’ is the story of my first love and its painful but beautiful secrecy. I want this song to be a reminder that love carries no shame and is meant to be celebrated instead of hidden.”
