Madison Olds is a singer/songwriter from Kamloops, British Columbia. Her debut album Blue arrived in 2018, and landed her support slots for artists such as Willie Nelson, Kacey Musgraves, Neon Dreams, Scott Helman, and more!
Her new single “Best Part of Me” was was written to highlight the importance of recognizing the status of your mental health and taking time for self-care. But, Madison thinks the lyrics can also resonate with many who are having a tough time coping with what is going on in the world.
She says, “I can only imagine the anxiety, depression and anger people are feeling right now and I think ‘Best Part of Me’ can help to reassure that while it feels like the world is burning or even ending, it’s okay to take a day, cry it out and then get back in the saddle and kick some ass the next day.”
Madison hopes that all of her music can “empower people to feel comfortable with their discomfort.” Her songs come from personal experiences that served as lessons and helped her grow on her own. One of the biggest lessons someone can learn is how to be comfortable with themselves and realizing that it’s okay to not be okay.
“I remember sitting in the studio, starting to write this song and had been tired of pretending to hide bad days,” she recalls. “I think my exact words were, ‘It feels really good to just sit on the floor, cry and give into an anxiety attack.’ This song is meant to make the listeners feel reassured with taking a moment to just feel sad. You don’t always have to be happy or even okay all the time.”
