Establishing the mood with a cerebral energy, expanding into a dimensional and bold rock soundscape, Madeline Rosene opens I’ll Seduce God to Get into Heaven with cinematic subversion. The opus evolves with poetic prowess and metaphorical depth as Madeline Rosene takes us on a conceptual journey designed to embrace our inner baddie.
We are obsessed with Madeline’s delivery, the assertive nature of the track and the zeitgeist nature of what manifests. The message feels super poignant, particularly in a cultural moment where self-doubt, expectation and the pressure to behave a certain way feel omnipresent. Here, Madeline chucks the rulebook into the fire and invites us to indulge the darker, more hedonistic parts of ourselves.
We could imagine this featuring in a film like Jennifer’s Body, The Craft, Cruel Intentions or an episode of True Blood, in the way the track plays with seduction, rebellion and consequence, whilst its driving rock sensibility could easily soundtrack a cinematic moment where the protagonist finally decides to stop playing by everybody else’s rules.
The production feels suitably visceral, with the 135bpm momentum keeping everything moving with an almost reckless abandon. The indie-punk sensibility gives Madeline plenty of room to unleash her vocal personality, while the cinematic elements ensure the track never becomes one-dimensional. The guitar solo is also literally out of this world.
Fans of Garbage, Muse, and Hole would love this, whilst there are also shades of the contemporary attitude associated with artists such as Halsey and Måneskin. Ultimately, I’ll Seduce God to Get into Heaven feels like a glorious act of defiance. Madeline Rosene doesn’t simply embrace her inner baddie; she gives her a microphone, turns the amps up and lets her loose.
Needless to say, we are in awe, and have added I’ll Seduce God to Get into Heaven to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of Madeline Rosene including Talking to Myself, Fish Astronaut, and Heart on Fire.
