POSTED BY ZOE TYLER

Brooklyn-based pop sensation Maddie Regent is back with a brand-new single, "Sleeptalking," and it's a track you won't want to miss. Following the success of her 2023 sophomore EP, Girl of Your Dreams, Maddie returns with a fresh sound that marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in her musical journey.

"Sleeptalking" is the first taste of what Maddie has been cooking up in her Brooklyn home studio alongside her partner, producer and songwriter Cade Hoppe. The track also benefits from additional production by Harper James of Eighty Ninety, resulting in a perfect blend of organic instrumentation and shimmering synth-pop elements. The result is a sound that feels both grounded and otherworldly—a sonic experience that draws you in and keeps you hooked from start to finish.

Maddie's vocals are as dreamy as ever, floating effortlessly over hypnotic melodies that weave through the layers of lush production. The song wraps listeners in a cocoon of emotion, delivering a sound that's both comforting and deeply introspective.

But beyond the captivating soundscapes, "Sleeptalking" delves into themes of self-sabotage and the complicated emotions that come with it. Maddie explains, "'Sleeptalking' is about wanting to be happy about something you should be happy about, but you aren’t. And the longer you avoid confrontation, the more you wish for things to go south so your unhappiness feels justified. It’s classic self-sabotage and you know it."

This single is just the latest chapter in Maddie's impressive story. Originally from Toronto, Maddie began making music at just 12 years old, using it as an outlet to navigate her introverted nature and anxieties. Over the years, she has finely tuned her sound, finding the perfect balance between catchy pop bops and raw, honest songwriting.

With two acclaimed EPs, MISS REGENT and Girl of Your Dreams, already under her belt, Maddie Regent has quickly become a favorite among fans and critics alike. And with a slew of new songs ready to share, she's poised to make an even bigger impact on the pop music scene.

"Sleeptalking" is just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting year for Maddie Regent. Keep an eye on this rising star—you won't want to miss what she does next.
