New York artist Zoey Madison just released her debut EP Electric, produced by industry veteran Matt Chiaravalle (Warren Zevon, Debbie Harry). One of the highlights is “Move”, a song that grabs your ear because it’s in 3/4 time, not the usual 4/4 of most pop hits.
Madison’s dulcet voice will remind some listeners of legends like Mariah Carey, but it also has a contemporary feel, too. “Move” sounds like what you’d get if Addison Rae was backed by a bluesy guitar instead of synths and samples.
“‘Move’ came from wanting to blend my love of timeless, vintage glamour with the sound that feels real to me — modern pop and R&B,” says Madison. “It’s nostalgic and fresh at the same time, and that mix feels like me.”
Even the name “Zoey Madison” has an iconic, only-in-New-York quality. Keep your eye on this rising star.
Listen to “Move” below, or find the full Electric EP on the streaming services.
