Warner Music Nashville’s Madeline Edwards is ringing in the holiday season with Perfect Christmas, a three-song holiday EP featuring two originals and a smoke-filled, anthemic cover of “Celebrate Me Home” (listen HERE). The soul-country recording artist paints a realistic tableau of the season with the tongue-in-cheek title track (“Perfect Christmas”) and sketches an expressive portrait of holiday blues with “Me Missing You.”
“This EP is special to me because it shows the beauty in the mess… even during the holidays,” Edwards shared. “It’s a message that hits close to home for a lot of us. Welcome to my chaotically wonderful home for the holidays. I hope you enjoy the décor.”
Last month Edwards released “More” as part of Apple Music Country’s “Lost & Found” series (listen HERE). The song premiered alongside an exclusive interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 and earned feature placement as the New Music Daily playlist cover. The Tennessean shared the story behind the song (read HERE), which American Songwriter praised for showcasing Edwards’ “powerful vocals.”
The breakout talent, who Rolling Stone declared “a one to watch vocalist with charisma to burn,” released her debut album Crashlanded one year ago tomorrow (listen HERE). Crashlanded features fan favorite rockers “Hold My Horses,” “The Wolves” and “Mama, Dolly, Jesus.” The 12-track project prompted her morning television debut on NBC’s TODAY last November.
Since bursting onto the country scene in 2021, Edwards has been named an “Artist to Watch” by Amazon, Apple Music, Pandora, Spotify and others. In addition to touring this year alongside labelmate Ingrid Andress, she took the stage at major festivals including Lollapalooza and Stagecoach. Both she and Andress joined Alanis Morissette (as well as Lainey Wilson and Morgan Wade) at the 2023 CMT Music Awards for a performance of ’90s alt-rock classic “You Oughta Know.”
