Maddie Carpenter is an up-and-coming Americana singer/songwriter hailing from the great city of San Francisco. On her brand new single ‘Makeout’, Carpenter mixes pop sensibilities with an Americana twist, creating one of the sweetest and most infectious tunes I’ve heard this year. With rich instrumentation, a twangy, slide-infused, hypnotic electric guitar, and Maddie’s bright, sensuous vocals, ‘Makeout’ is just the perfect summer anthem for those long road trips with your friends!
Inspired by artists like Bonnie Raitt, Lucinda Williams, and Sheryl Crow, Carpenter is putting her own unique and contemporary spin on things. Her voice is truly exceptional and it’s filled with honesty and authenticity. In terms of the inspiration for the track, Maddie says that she wrote ‘Makeout’ as a love letter to California. “You’ll hear references to the different landscapes of the state throughout the song,” she says.
With five singles currently to her name, I believe that Maddie Carpenter has everything it takes to make it big time in this business. She’s clearly an exceptionally gifted musician, and with her fresh take on a classic sound, she very well could be the next big thing! Let’s hope we hear from her again very soon.
