Transitioning into a new creative phase, Los Angeles-based vocalist, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Rett Madison presents her latest single, "Apocalyptic Folk Song," released via Warner Records/War Buddha Records. Listen to the single here and watch the lyric video here.

Madison shares the inspiration behind "Apocalyptic Folk Song," citing climate anxiety and existential dread as its driving forces. The track addresses pressing issues such as the impact of climate change and societal greed, juxtaposed with soulful harmonies and earthy percussion. Madison's vocal delivery ranges from smoky timbres in the verses to cathartic wails in the chorus, hinting at more music to come from the burgeoning artist.

Madison's talent has garnered praise from tastemakers, with A Book Of featuring her on its digital cover and highlighting her emotive storytelling and genre-blending style. She recently embarked on a series of performances alongside John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats and Bailen, as well as headlining a tour across the Midwest. Earlier this year, she graced the stage of Carnegie Hall at The Piano Recital alongside artists like Mandy Moore and Margo Price.

In 2023, Madison released her acclaimed sophomore album and Warner Records debut, "One for Jackie," featuring collaborations with Iron & Wine and lead singles like "One for Jackie, One for Crystal," "Skydiving," and "Fortune Teller." Her performance of standout track "Flea Market" on Late Night with Seth Meyers and her appearance on CBS Mornings' Mixtape Moments segment further solidified her place in the contemporary music scene.
