Rising country singer-songwriter Madelyn Rose’s new EP “Teenage Heartache” captures the perspective of a sixteen-year-old navigating love and heartbreak in today’s generation. At only 16 years old, she delivers performances well beyond her years and continues to find a resonance between her lived experiences as a teenager in small-town America and the empowering, anthemic vibes of classic country greats like her all-time idol Carrie Underwood.

“It's what I've always listened to. It's what I grew up on. To me, it just like really feels like home. I grew up riding four wheelers and fixing boats, and all that kind of stuff, so I almost embrace it. I've always been drawn to that aesthetic,” she says.

Feeling heartbroken and hurt in the past couple of years was a major influence on Madelyn’s new EP. “It was a very new thing for me to experience because I am so young,” she explains. “I just really didn't know how to process it besides talking through it and writing about it. The first 3 singles were recorded in June of 2022, where I was in a completely different place in life. I later recorded "Sober" and "Missing Me Now" in May of 2023, giving more of a rock meets country vibe.”

Through relatable lyrics, each track transforms heartache into confidence, showcasing the journey from “I’m the one that got away” to “No matter what I do, I’m never over you.” Madelyn says, “I want others to know they’re not alone. All the feelings that you're having are valid.”

Growing up in a small town has helped Madelyn stay grounded and true to her roots. “At the end of the day, I just love to sing and play and write, and I love to be on a lake and fish. That’s my life. I just try to stay as simple as possible. It is really just so fun for me.”

While this compilation encompasses the rollercoaster of emotions experienced during the teenage years of love and loss, its messages will resonate with listeners from all ages. We are so excited to see Madelyn evolve and mature as an artist, and hope y'all enjoy this new EP.
