Maddie Jay has shared a new video “11th Ave,” the track is off the multi-artist’s forthcoming album I Can Change Your Mind, available January 10, 2025, and is the follow up to previous singles “I’m The Leader”, “Name Your Price”, and “Chemical.” Jay will be Joining Remi Wolf on a UK tour, starting November 28th in Leeds, UK.

“This whole song takes place in a hotel room in New York, on 11th avenue in Manhattan, where I spent weeks at a time rehearsing for a pop artist I was playing with, and coincided with me dating casually for the first time in my life,” says Maddie. “I’d always jumped very quickly to commitment in my romantic relationships, so this was a big shift and a liberating experience. I was travelling and touring a lot, and I felt very free and powerful not being tied down to any person or place. It’s the song on the album that makes me want to move and smile the most, and I used a ton of fun vintage drum machines and synthesizers on it.”

“I wrote many of these songs over improvised tape loops that I recorded with my dear friends in hazy late night studio sessions,” Maddie explains. “I wanted to create a sonic bed that felt organic, nostalgic, immersive and emotionally cathartic. Working outside of solitude was a challenge for me, however I feel the end result resonates much stronger than something I would have created alone, which is probably a lesson in itself.”

“The style of songwriting I chose to pursue for this project came about while reflecting on my past projects,” Maddie continues. “I realized when listening to some of those old lyrics that I had unknowingly narrated the subtleties of an abusive relationship, described the feeling of intense codependence, and exposed my inner workings in some unflattering ways, all while thinking I was writing simple love songs.

“Each of these tracks was born in an effort to crystalize a feeling of overwhelm in my life over the last two years. They speak from within the headspace of addiction, loss of control, isolation, mania, codependence, and fear that I will never reach my full potential. By allowing myself to become an unreliable narrator, I felt able to understand the volatile internal negotiation between the person I am, and the person I aspire to be.”
