Three years ago, we got our hands on the first solo songs from Maddie Mae (one of the singers from THE YEARNING, the main project from Joe Moore, who has also been responsible for producing and writing for Lia Pamina, THE PERFECT KISS, JULIE ET JOE, Cristina Quesada and Maddie Mae herself). “Baby, You’re An Angel” and “Stay The Same” brought us something passionate, full of that electronic tension in something close to downtempo that makes Maddie’s exquisite voice shine, in the style of artists like Lana Del Rey, SZA, Billie Eilish, Suki Waterhouse, Lorde and Arlo Parks. And in the meantime, over a low flame, our two stars have continued to cook up a majestic album, on which Maddie has delved into the feelings and ideas that she wanted to get onto her debut album. A few days ago, we got a taste with “Polaroid Love”, which confirmed that is going to be something huge. And the result is “Wildflower”, an album that is full of elegance, glamour, delicacy and exoticism, thanks to the versatility with which Joe Moore builds the soundscapes that Maddie’s voice fills with thousands of feelings, nuances, and emotions.

Our star has taken inspiration from all forms of art, from poetry to dance, including music, books, and movies that she has discovered over these past three years. And the palette of styles is so wide it moves between the Amy Winehouse-style sou [ Read more ]

After “Baby, You’re An Angel” and “Stay The Same” we hadn’t had any more news about the solo album that Maddie Mae, after her journey with THE YEARNING, had started working on with, of course, her inseparable Joe Moore. And today we bring you two big pieces of great news: the album, “Wildflower”, will be here imminently, and as an advance, we are bringing you the third single, “Polaroid Love”. On this song, we can see the influence of Lana Del Rey and her melancholic landscapes where she talks about that love that slowly takes shape, that is cooked over a low flame, the same way colors start to come in on a Polaroid. She explains it perfectly herself: “I always take photos using my Polaroid camera, and when the picture comes out blank at first, nobody knows how it will turn out; you have to be patient enough to wait. Seeing that Polaroid develop from almost nothing, just ink under the film, echoed how I was feeling at the time with this new romance forming right under my skin. When I finally sat down to write, it was so clear that the lyrics came to me in just fifteen minutes. I recorded the first draft and sent it over to Joe to ask him to produce some music to go with it and, as he always does, he understood the essence the song should capture perfectly”. Exciting and heartbreaking, this is a song that, together with its two predecessors, makes us foresee that “Wildflower” is going to be hug [ Read more ]

TRACKLIST: 01 Stay The Same

Lovely Maddie Mae continues showing us her incredible musical growth. After taking her first steps in music, singing on THE YEARNING’s first songs (when she was just 14 years old), and that surprising first single, “Baby, You’re An Angel”, with which she launched her solo project, she is back with a new song, “Stay The Same”. Once again produced by the unbeatable Joe Moore, who shows us his sense for ultra-adhesive choruses, and the incredible way that Maddie’s fresh, silky, subtle voice shoots an already addictive song that shares references with Carly Rae Jepsen, Lizzo and Billie Eilish, into the stars. This new proposal, tremendously current, young, electrifying and stimulating, with powerful basses and solid but slippery basis, and of course angelic choruses and unforgettable melodies.

And once again, Daniel Cuenca has filmed with her, from Iceland, a video in which Maddie shows her charisma, her strength, the clear intention that her musical career will be long-standing. An elegant black and white, a sober recording, for an absolutely exciting song.

The newest artist for Elefant Records is an old friend, even though she is only 23 years old. The thing is, Maddie began her musical career singing the earliest THE YEARNING songs when she was only 14 years old. Since then, she began her musical journey along with Joe Moore, with whom she has released many albums and visited half the globe, from Spain to Japan.

Joe Moore has collaborated with different singers throughout his diverse productions and with his most special project, THE YEARNING, and his imminent new album (it’s almost finished now) has brought about a new twist, more focused on the music of the seventies and disco, somewhere between ABBA and Donna Summer. This led to the search for a new singer (we will introduce you to Luci very soon) and created a new opportunity for Maddie to take on her own project. Here at Elefant Records, we have always been fans of her silky, versatile voice, and we believe that this is the perfect moment for that young girl we watched grow up musically to begin her own career, with a sound closer to her own generation and inspired by the many strong, talented, powerful women in music today: Ariana, Lizzo,Billie Eilish, Lorde and Miley Cyrus are just a few of the references she mentions. 

So, with help in the song-writing and production from Joe Moore (don’t think he was out of the picture), but with Maddie much more involved in the project’s definition, and writing the lyrics, we present to you the first song by Ma [ Read more ]
