“Maddie Jay's approach to so-called bedroom pop has a level of textural sophistication, refinement and clarity…a diaphanous landscape of dreamy tape loops, breathy word-painting tinged with artful Auto-Tune, and the occasional Aphex Twin electronic breakdown.” Exclaim!, Most Anticipated Albums of 2025
"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 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 releases their debut album, I Can Change Your Mind. The album was written over two years “where I was relentlessly touring on a large scale for the first time in my life,” says Jay. “My world was expanding and my self perception became tumultuous, ricocheting between extreme self confidence and rock bottom self esteem. Very basic realities of adulthood seemed bizarrely out of reach. I needed a place to express myself. I wanted to be a voice whispering into the abyss—’fuck this is really difficult’ and going forward and thriving regardless.”
Included on Exclaim’s Most Anticipated Albums of 2025, they describe the record as “a diaphanous landscape of dreamy tape loops, breathy word-painting tinged with artful Auto-Tune, and the occasional Aphex Twin electronic breakdown.”
To help celebrate the album’s release, Maddie Jay is also sharing the new single, “Stop Me If I’ve Told You This Story”, one of the first songs written for the album. “I wrote it completely alone in the desert about the euphoria of the feeling that I was finally finding my footing and finally being comfortable in my skin after a lifetime of feeling like a bit of an alien."

MORE ABOUT I CAN CHANGE YOUR MIND
“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.”
“The style of songwriting I chose to pursue for this project came about while reflecting on my past projects,” Maddie continues. “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.”
