Showcasing her timeless class and unmatched elegance, Madeleine Rose Witney returns with ‘Shine’, a single that speaks volumes about the gentle yet firm artistic ethos driven by the talented songstress. Inspired by a vintage London, the city she calls home, Witney is most comfortable in smoky neo-noir imagery and nostalgic lyricism, threading the fine line between darkness and euphoria.
The results of such a strong musical vision manifest in a timeless pop cut, a rather 60s-sounding orchestral piece, truly resonating with Madeleine Rose’s torch singer quality. Her luscious, hypnotic vocals float above such instrumental goodness with charisma and control, ultimately transforming ‘Shine’ into a dream-like, ethereal listening experience.
Delving deeper into the lyricism behind the track, Witney explains: “‘Shine’ by design is an anthem for particularly women but anyone who may be vulnerable in that situation, day or night, to have a kind of angelic figure guiding them home but tragically the fact is it’s not safe to walk alone with headphones in because you have to have your wits about you.”
Having sold-out London shows regularly in the past year, Madeleine Rose Witney is set to appear on September 30th at The Troubadour. Don’t miss it!
