Madoc Plane
His sound is polished, his vocal control dazzling, and his impressive songwriting expertly dances between pop, soul and jazz. His inimitable sound layers harmonies while ambient textures scratch the innermost parts of your brain. The most exciting part? This is his debut EP, following on from only three previous singles. There's no doubt that this EP 'Own Worst Enemy' is a taste of a musician who plays to his strength and has truly struck sonic gold.
The EP sees Madoc Plane confront the inner workings of his tumultuous mind head on. Utterly introspective, he unpacks the nuanced experiences of self-doubt and overthinking in a cohesive and sonically moving 4-piece EP. Taking influence from the likes of Jordan Rakei, Matt Corby and The Weeknd, Madoc Plane creates a warm kaleidoscope of songs that nurture the soul.
"The EP explores themes such as low self-esteem, anxiety, and overthinking. At the time of writing these songs I wasn't my usual confident self, which I guess is displayed in the lyricism of the EP. I think that writing based on these self-critical themes was somewhat therapeutic for me, allowing me to be more honest with myself and to reflect on my experiences from a different perspective." Madoc Plane
The EP features previously released single 'Overdrive', a futuristic heady sonic concoction that transports listeners to a darkening club. Accompanying this is unreleased single 'Burning Up' which shifts down a gear, evoking the nighttime grandeur of a city skyline - the glistening chips of neon lights forming a constellation among the concrete. Madoc Plane dives deeper into his psyche whilst traversing shimmering falsetto to a steady march.
More jazz-laden than the previous two singles, is 'Own Worst Enemy', which sees Madoc Plane fully lean into the soul of his vocals. It's a refined and stripped back spotlight on Madoc Plane at his most vulnerable. Featuring Choir backing vocals the result is nothing short of utterly beautiful. Closing out the EP is previously released single 'Right Reason' which utilises ambient layering, atop a grooving pulse of the drum beat, with the compelling chorus hook "I'm hoping that it was for the right reason".
"The musical style of this EP slightly differs between each song. Overdrive shows a more electronic pop/dance sound with a heavy use of produced drums whilst Own Worst Enemy is a smooth yet powerful soul-pop groove, incorporating dense vocal harmony. The style of Burning Up, lies somewhere in-between these two tunes. It shows a more complex mixture of both styles through its use of vocal intricacy, as well as revealing an ambient and produced soundscape." Madoc Plane
