Madame Psychosis celebrates freedom from heartbreak in ‘soul-stirring’ rock ballad “Hopeless”
“A powerful, rich, warming inimitable style, ‘Hopeless’ is a progression in Madame Psychosis’ sound” – The Other Side Reviews
Toronto – January 31st, 2024 – Toronto-based alt pop and indie rock band Madame Psychosis is welcoming the New Year with the release of “Hopeless”, a powerful track that explores the journey of overcoming heartbreak and embracing newfound freedom. It was recorded at Union Sound Company and Raventape Music Room in Toronto, and was mixed and co-produced by Alex Gamble. It is now available on all major streaming services starting today.
With a powerful chorus, strong vocal harmonies and a rousing climax, “Hopeless” paints a vivid picture of the pain and strength that come with moving on from a relationship. The song’s chorus, “I’m no longer hopeless, no longer blaming myself for the fall, no longer building up all of these walls,” echoes the sentiment of breaking free from the chains of self-doubt and finding empowerment within. It captures the essence of resilience and self-discovery, serving as a reminder that strength can be found in vulnerability and that healing is possible after heartache.
“I wanted to delve deep into heartbreak but I also wanted it to be a redemption song that speaks to the ability to grow from wrenching pain and the disheartening moments we all inevitably experience in life”, says Michelle Mondesir, the band’s lead singer and lyricist. “The idea of loss runs throughout the song, including the loss of the person you loved, loss of parts of yourself, and loss of hopes and dreams for a future that seemed irreversibly attached to a now failed relationship.”
“Hopeless” marries the band’s foundational alt pop and indie rock sound with elements of soul and gospel. What starts as a raw, stripped down first verse builds into a passionate crescendo that marks the emotional peak of the song. The accompanying music video, set to release in February, promises a visually captivating experience that complements the song’s depth.
