Pop’s bold and unconventional voice Madelline is back with her highly anticipated new single, “Happy As Hell,” out this Friday.
The track, produced by Arthur Besna (Nessa Barrett, Lay Banks) and Jon Buscema (Sophie Truax), blends cinematic strings with anthemic pop energy. Madelline calls it the start of her new era of “Theatrical Pop.”
“The single is about feeling like you’re falling behind in life,” Madelline shares. “It’s powerful, dramatic, and the kind of song I’ve always wanted to create.”
With over 20 million streams, half a million monthly listeners, and more than 400,000 social media followers, Madelline has quickly become one of pop’s most exciting rising artists. Her music has gone viral multiple times on Instagram and TikTok, where she’s racked up more than 4 million likes.
Her last major hit, “I’m Only Here for the Beat,” reached #1 on Billboard’s Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart, cementing her as a name to watch. She also made waves performing at Cat Con 2025 and touring with Em Beihold and Sub Urban.
Often described as a mix of Lily Allen, Marina, and Taylor Swift with a dash of Ashnikko, Madelline is known for her sharp lyricism, playful edge, and dynamic live shows that blend music, fashion, and performance art.
“Happy As Hell” arrives as her boldest release yet, an anthem that balances vulnerability with power and sets the stage for her next chapter in pop.
Release Date: This Friday, August 22nd
