Madam Sad started as a folk project between Maddison Schreiber (they/he) and Evelyn Charlotte Joe (they/them). Six years ago, Maddison felt pushed to be a musician out of love and spite, which to this day continues to follow into their art. Maddison and Evelyn spent around two years working on this upcoming album, through which they both suffered from poverty and flare ups with disability. With the colonial state of the world, post capitalism and economic failure, many artists are going through heart-wrenching measures to make the most simplest of results, and that’s something they experienced too.
Their song, “Hope For You,” has two parts, both inspired by love for different people. A feeling of rejection and loss for something that was never real, a sort of limerence.
“The song title is a way of holding myself accountable to make sure I am always hoping for the happiness of those who have hurt me,” says Maddison. “I also do get to a more genuine place where I feel compassion for an ex-lover’s success, and that’s a nice kind of sad.”
