MADI - DIRTY
"With electro-tinged art pop, self-styled as ‘weirdo pop’, MADI aims to marry experimental and accessible. Drawing from a diverse range of influences, it uses everything from keyboards and guitars, to samples and modular synth."

MADI's "Dirty (Word)" begins with a kooky vocalization and a swelling, high pitched synth, suddenly dumping the listener into a pounding beat. Interestingly, there is percussive vocalization used in tandem with the beat between Maddie's vocal lines. The track turns sweeter with spritely arps and a buttery bass line, revisiting the pounding beat and heart of the lyrics: "don't you care to understand? can't you see there's nothing dirty about me."
I really love this track. MADI makes me imagine a collaboration between Amanda Palmer and St. Vincent - which is simply kick-ass. The trippy video is a delightful bonus.
