Electronic art rock by Welsh female singer/multi-instrumentalist/producer Maddie Jones.
“Welsh wonder MADI has continued to develop her piledriving brand of quirky electronica and mad visuals. “Mama, Will You Hear Me? is a mature, progressive piece of work with shades of Kate Bush building to an epic blast of searing vocals, pounding beats and fierce guitar work.”
- Kerry JK / FreshontheNet
“I’m literally obsessed with “Mama, Will You Hear Me?”. I’m in love with this tune!”
- Lucas Gil / GlitterBeam Radio
“THE BANGER OF BANGERS.”
- Minas
“This feels like THE combination, the discovery of an extra gear in the same way that, for instance, you can feel between Orbital's green and brown albums. And the video serves it well. This is the "I knew of her back when..." track to me… I want to be in on the ground floor of this, because this is going to BLOW. UP.”
- Restless Mosaic
The music video was created during the lockdown in 2021, at home on zero budget, by MADI and her partner and collaborator Dan Fitzgerald, using an Erogenous Tones video synth.
lyrics
Now and then, overwhelmed
I remember that one day you’ll have to leave me
In a way, it’s a shame
That the darkest days already seem to haunt me
Mama will you hear me?
Mama will you hear me calling?
Mama will you hear me calling out your name?
Papa will you hear me?
Papa will you hear me calling?
Papa will you hear me calling out your name?
Day to day, I’m OK
When I least expect it, trepidation seizes me
Am I cursed, or am I lucky
To be riddled with this love and this anxiety?
Mama will you hear me?
Mama will you hear me calling?
Mama will you hear me calling out your name?
Papa will you hear me?
Papa will you hear me calling?
Papa will you hear me calling out your name?
I break down
I break down
I break down
I break down
Mama will you hear me calling?
Mama will you hear me calling out your name?
Papa will you hear me?
Papa will you hear me calling?
Papa will you hear me calling out your name?
