Madelline – Participation Trophies
“The track, the melody and text of which create a single artistic image. As if a fragment of your good memory draws bizarre images in the imagination. Alt Pop rhythm, a positive atmosphere and bright energy contribute to paying attention to themselves. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Трек, мелодия и текст которого создают единый художественный образ. Словно фрагмент твоего хорошего воспоминания рисует в воображении причудливые образы. Ритм Alt Pop, позитивная атмосфера и яркая энергетика способствуют тому, чтобы обратить внимание на себя.”

Alternately referred to as the French Ke$ha or the love child of Taylor Swift and Ashnikko, Madelline’s Alt-Pop self-releases have to-date garnered a healthy dose of Spotify editorial support: New music Friday USA, New Music Friday Canada, Fresh Finds, Hyperpop, Salt, and Misfits 2.0. Her song, “kill u in my dreams” was featured in a Lexus commercial.
Madelline just released her newest single “Participation Trophies” which had close to 20,000 presaves and has generated over 70k streams organically in less than a week from her new tiktok fanbase (42K). Participation Trophies is a song that has a lot of unexpected twists and turns, is full of layers of harmonies, and draws inspiration from classics like Queen and the Beach Boys. The song explores the topic of feeling like you suck at life as an adult. Madelline says: “My goal is for this song to help alleviate some of the embarrassment and solitude people feel while struggling to keep their lives together”
