Rising pop artist, Madeline The Person has released her angsty yet upbeat new single, “Tantrum” today via Warner Records. Packed with witty wordplay and charming melodies, the track is the kind of introspective ear-candy Madeline has all but perfected. It marks her first release since 2022’s CHAPTER 3: The Burning EP, which features her breakout viral hit “MEAN!”. It conquered TikTok in 2022, landing on the app’s Top Sounds for six consecutive weeks and garnering over 3 million video creates. To date, the track has racked up over 100 million streams and counting.
“‘Tantrum’ is my ode to escapism,” Madeline says of her new track. “It’s a glimpse into a moment of genuine consideration of the coping mechanisms that my therapist would probably steer me away from. No more meditation and journaling, I just wanna lose my absolute shit!”
Madeline’s raw songwriting has found a dedicated fanbase through her innate ability to conjure painful, universal feelings through her music. Her 2021 debut project, Chapter 1: The Longing and follow-up Chapter 2: The Shedding struck a chord with fans and critics, amassing millions of streams, and winning recognition from Billboard and People magazine, who included her in their Emerging Artists roundup. In 2022, she hit the road for the first time, supporting The Aces and Maisie Peters on their headline tours and delivering electrifying sets at Los Angeles’ OUTLOUD Music Festival and Wonderbus Music & Arts Festival.
Now, with “Tantrum,” Madeline continues to evolve as an artist, mixing whimsy with wisdom in her own, wholly unique way.
