Out today is Maddy Carty's new single, "Dark Circles, and the new offering from the London-based singer-songwriter is the first to be released since her 2024 effort, "Old Hands".
... a raw, piano-led pop gem that lays bare her battle with postpartum depression—stripped back, soul-stirring, and hard to skip on by.
The raw and emotive new single is very stripped back, and right from the off you can hear her stunning vocals laced upon delicate piano keys.
It's got great pop sensibilities too, with the lyrics easily laid out for new (and old) listeners to get on board with. The way this is produced really gives her voice a big platform to grab attention too.
The song is all about her personal struggles with postpartum depression, something I've witnessed. I guess this is why the track is so grounded and emotive; it's a powerful thing to hear.
