“Mad” by Lina Mapes is her newest single, released on October 8, 2024. It is a soulful pop track about how someone can change you and make you feel so lost and confused. Whether that is a friend, family member, or significant other, the relationships in our lives impact the people that we are. The song was created in collaboration with Elijah Dax and Peter Eddins. Mapes takes her musical inspiration from artists like Reneé Rapp, Nina Simone, and Amy Winehouse, so if you like any of those, it is definitely worth checking her music out. Make sure to add this release to your streaming library.
The track boldly opens with the line, “Looking deep into this heart of mine / Take a look with me and see.” Mapes takes us on a journey of going mad for someone. It is about how the relationship with this person changed her and the aftermath is causing her to lose herself as she tries to move on. These feelings are expressed in lyrics like “Oh I’m falling down the rabbit hole / Oh I got lost along the way” and “You didn’t care to love me too / Or at least as much as I did you.” An indie pop soundscape and impassioned vocals complement this sentiment through the song.
