Madisyn Gifford - Die Happy [Music Review]

February 14, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Folk, Pop
“We all go through some lulls in life and it is those dark places and times that lend to the good and hopeful times feeling all the more uplifting. Madisyn Gifford gives us a soundtrack for those transformative moments when the clouds lift and the sun finds its way to our smiling faces once again. ‘Die Happy’ is a Pop Folk track that feels like emerging from a heavy, emotional cocoon. ”

    Madisyn Gifford - For Shaughnessy [Music Video Review]

    July 12, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Commercial, Adult Contemporary

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Written for her best friend, ‘For Shaughnessy’ is a tribute to friendship, empathy, and the power of emotional connection. Madisyn Gifford never meant this track to be released but when she shared it with her friend they decided together that this was a song that needed to be shared and heard by others.

    The power of friendship is clear and so is the humanity of the writing as well as Gifford’s incredible vocal talent.”

      Madisyn Gifford - Except For You [Music Video Review]

      January 21, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Music Videos, Commercial, Adult Contemporary

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “Sometimes we love the idea of someone or something more than the actual person or thing. Madisyn Gifford drops this track about moving on from a relationship while missing not the person but all the external variables that made up their surrounding while together. The vocal delivery is honest and borders on vulnerability mixed with regret. Lyrically the track is almost a stream of conscious vibe that we all do when contemplating how things used to be. ”

        Madisyn Gifford - Nice Things [Review]

        August 27, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Madisyn Gifford has that unique tone and quality that makes you feel as if she is a close persona’ friend you’ve known her for years. ‘Nice Things’ feels like a confessional of sorts, but in that fun and joking kind of way that friends banter.

        This Pop track simply feels real and genuine and keeps you leaning in start to finish. The writing takes a unique spin on the usual break up tropes we’ve all heard so often.”

          Madisyn Gifford - Shapes and Shadows [Review]

          April 09, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Allowing yourself to fall completely in love comes with the risk that you could be hurt by that other person, and in the face of such vulnerability, we all struggle at times. Madissyn Gifford is able to distill those emotions into a tangible set of feelings on ‘Shapes and Shadows,’ a gloriously rising Pop track that relies on the vocals to carry the day. ”
