In a world oversaturated with formulas, templates, and factory-made artists, Maddison Breen arrives like a bolt of emotional honesty and creative fire. Her music isn’t just another echo of what’s been done—it’s a raw, beautiful cry from someone who has lived, felt, fought, and finally decided to bloom on her own terms. Maddison isn’t here to please; she’s here to move you. And she does.
Born in the UK and musically adopted by Australia, Maddison is a proud trans woman who has walked a path defined by resilience. From busking on the streets of Liverpool to performing at some of Australia’s biggest festivals, her journey has been anything but conventional. She’s been signed to labels that didn’t know what to do with her until she realized it was time to let go of everything holding her back—and make music from a place of pure freedom.
That leap into the unknown—that radical act of self-honesty—resulted in a debut album that isn’t just an introduction; it’s a statement. Her self-titled release is a love letter to Brit-pop and indie rock, woven with the spirit of classic influences like The Beatles and Coldplay, yet filtered through a deeply personal, modern sensibility.
This isn’t an album made to impress. It’s an album made to say: I’m here, unfiltered. And that’s what makes it powerful. Maddison doesn’t just perform songs—she inhabits them. "You For Me" pulses with the heartbeat of Merseybeat but beats with the urgency of someone who’s weathered emotional storms.
Then there’s "Ghost"—a raw emo scream about depression and gender dysphoria, unflinchingly honest. And “Odesa,” co-written with Bosnian-born, Aussie-raised hook queen Amela Duheric, reaches beyond personal pain to express empathy for war-torn Ukraine. There are no borders in Maddison’s music—only truths that seek to resonate with those brave enough to listen.
These songs were written over the course of a decade, through countless versions of Maddison—through heartbreak, growth, silence, and fire. They were finally recorded in the closing days of 2024, then mastered by the legendary Michael Carpenter. This album is not the sound of someone trying to fit in. It’s the sound of someone becoming who they truly are.
Far from industry gimmicks and hollow branding, Maddison Breen stands as what she’s always been: real. Her music is an open scar, a lit torch, a storm of noise and emotional beauty. Rock and roll isn’t dead, as she herself says—it’s just catching its breath. And with artists like Maddison, that breath becomes a scream of rebirth.
This debut is more than a first release—it’s a liberation ceremony. Maddison is no longer the 15-year-old girl playing in Liverpool, shaped by others’ expectations. She is not an industry puppet. She’s Herself. At last. In full force. Maddison Breen.
The album will be available for pre-order on April 19th, both digitally and physically. But the first single, “Odesa,” will be released on April 14th—a date that marks not just the birth of a song, but the arrival of a voice the world desperately needs to hear.
Maddison Breen has arrived. Not to follow trends, but to create a new wave.
