Maddie Regent Makes Waves on New Single, The Wolf
Indie-pop has a fresh, captivating voice in the form of Maddie Regent.
Rapidly rising through the ranks, this Canadian-born, New York-based artist is making a name for herself in the music industry. With an innate ability to blend infectious pop melodies with deeply personal and often vulnerable storytelling, her catchy hooks and electrifying sound continue to captivate a growing audience.
Her latest single, The Wolf, showcases her knack for fusing raw vulnerability with polished production, offering a track that’s as emotionally charged as it is dance-floor-ready. Co-created with her boyfriend and creative partner, Cade Hoppe, with additional production input from Harper James of Eighty Ninety, The Wolf solidifies Maddie’s reputation as a force to be reckoned with in the indie-pop scene.
Synth soaked and emotionally driven, The Wolf explores the tumultuous experience of coming face-to-face with a former lover – one who you once shared love with, but now, share nothing. “There’s a part of you that’s paralysingly afraid of them,” she shares, “but you wish you didn’t have to be.” This lead single, released ahead of her upcoming debut album, On The Phone To My Mom, beautifully encapsulates the tension of striving to move forward while being unable to escape lingering shadows of the past.
For a track with such profound lyrical intensity, its placement against a vibrant synth-pop soundscape should not work on paper – yet somehow, it does. The juxtaposition of heartfelt lyrics with an upbeat, shimmering backdrop creates a captivating contrast that draws listeners in. Tender and deliberate, The Wolf’s electrifying pop energy doesn’t overshadow its emotional core; instead, adding a new dynamic layer that only amplifies its lyrics further.
The result? A song that feels both deeply personal and irresistibly infectious, balancing vulnerability with a bold, anthemic quality that leaves a lasting impact. Maddie is certianly one to watch out for in 2025.
Maddie Regent’s debut album, On The Phone To My Mom is due for release 16 May.
