MADELINE EDWARDS

Madeline Edwards seized the opening created by the likes of Kane Brown and Kacey Musgraves to create forward-thinking country music, dressing her roots in boundless, borderless eclecticism. This creative restlessness is captured on Crashlanded, her 2022 debut that found her dabbling in dance-pop, rousing country, and balladeering. Born in Santa Barbara, California, Madeline Edwards discovered country music as a child, hearing it on the radio while driving between her hometown and her mother's family in Fresno. Edwards began singing and playing piano when she was no more than five. Prior to high school, she and her family moved to Houston, Texas. As a teenager, she was drawn to both country and pop music, originally aspiring to follow in the footsteps of Beyoncé. By the time she delivered her sultry debut EP Light Out in 2016, she'd moved in the direction of Norah Jones, writing jazzy, soulful pop on the piano. She continued with that style on the 2018 single "Killin' Me," as well as "Wait by the Line," "Tryna Make Sense," and "Mirror," the three singles she released over the course of 2019. Edwards relocated to Nashville in early 2021 with her husband. That year, she released the EP The Road, which also featured the single "Thinking About You," a record that carried a slight air of the jazziness of Light Out. Edwards shifted toward country music with the 2021 single "Best Revenge," its release coinciding with her appearance with the Highwomen on the Lady Gaga tribute album Born This Way: Reimagined; the group sang "Highway Unicorn (Road to Love)." At the end of the year, she gave a performance at the 55th Annual CMA Awards, performing alongside Mickey Guyton and Brittney Spencer. Early in 2022, Edwards continued down a country path with the plaintive "Port City," the song that would become the cornerstone of her eponymous EP in June 2022. That same month, she released "Hold My Horses," the first single on Warner Music Nashville, a track that unveiled a stylish, dynamic spin on the country she'd been singing. Edwards supported the new recordings by opening for Chris Stapleton on a few dates on his All-American Road Show tour, as well as making her debut at the Grand Ole Opry that summer. Three subsequent singles -- "Why I'm Calling," "The Wolves," "Too Much of a Good Thing" -- arrived prior to Edwards releasing her full-length debut Crashlanded in November 2022.
