"The bubbling synth soundscape Jay creates becomes a place of solace, where she tries to shake off her concerns; thankfully she leaves plenty of space for others to not only relate, but to join in on the dance party. ... a welcome return into the colourful mind of Jay."
CBC Music on "Eckhaus Latta"
“a woozy bedroom pop track that sets Jay's infinitely relatable lyrics to an infectious beat driven by arpeggiated synths” Exclaim! On “Excuses”
“a hooky slice of honest indie-pop.” The Line Of Best Fit on “Undertow”
“Elements of dream-pop collide masterfully with lo-fi hip hop, and 60's pop stylings unite with surf-rock tones to name but a few.” Earmilk on “Peanut Butter Song”

Today, producer/artist and multi-instrumentalist Maddie Jay announces the new album, I Can Change Your Mind, set for release on January 10, 2025. “I wrote many of these songs over improvised tape loops that I recorded with my dear friends in hazy late night studio sessions,” Maddie explains. “I wanted to create a sonic bed that felt organic, nostalgic, immersive and emotionally cathartic. Working outside of solitude was a challenge for me, however I feel the end result resonates much stronger than something I would have created alone, which is probably a lesson in itself.”
Following on previous singles “I’m The Leader” and “Name Your Price”, today Maddie shares another album track. “Chemical” is a song that “feels like smoking a little bit too much weed when you were already anxious and laying on top of your covers with a light breeze coming in through and having an absolute internal meltdown,” says Maddie. “It’s about the pain of simply existing and trying to rationalize why it’s all so intense and confusing by labeling everything as a chemical and disconnecting from the emotional side of things. This song was a collaboration with a few friends, we wrote the Radiohead/aphex twin type outro very late in the studio one night and immediately knew we had something special.”

MORE ABOUT I CAN CHANGE YOUR MIND
“The style of songwriting I chose to pursue for this project came about while reflecting on my past projects,” Maddie explains. “I realized when listening to some of those old lyrics that I had unknowingly narrated the subtleties of an abusive relationship, described the feeling of intense codependence, and exposed my inner workings in some unflattering ways, all while thinking I was writing simple love songs.
“Each of these tracks was born in an effort to crystalize a feeling of overwhelm in my life over the last two years. They speak from within the headspace of addiction, loss of control, isolation, mania, codependence, and fear that I will never reach my full potential. By allowing myself to become an unreliable narrator, I felt able to understand the volatile internal negotiation between the person I am, and the person I aspire to be.”
