Artist: Maddie Jay

Track: “Eckhaus Latta”

Released 1-10-2025

Maddie Jay’s brand of indie-pop floats gracefully atop her breezy, melodic voice and playful production. Her debut LP, I Can Change Your Mind, marked something of an early-year gem for me with its relentlessly gorgeous aesthetics, and “Eckhaus Latta” was the first song to get lodged in my brain after a few spins. It’s effortlessly pleasing, if unspectacular — the sort of song that will make you feel better about a long bus or train ride to work/school in the morning. It just has the sensation of being perpetually in-motion, and finds the beauty trapped within the hecticness of daily life.
