Madeline Rosene – “Love and Algorhythms”

Madeline Rosene’s latest single, “Love and Algorhythms”, is a smart look at how weird things get when social media starts messing with real-life relationships, and the idea of competing with an algorithm for someone’s attention is strange, but it’s also kind of real. Madeline taps into that in a way that’s funny, a little sad, and very current.

She doesn’t overcomplicate things. The song speaks to how disconnected people can get, even when they’re sitting right next to each other and it’s not heavy-handed or over the top. It feels like an honest reaction to something most of us have probably noticed or experienced. The whole release has a personal vibe, like she’s been thinking about this for a while and needed to say it out loud.

The claymation video, which she made with her brother, is a cool addition and it’s intentionally slow and handmade, which fits with the message. It’s a reminder that real connection takes effort, and it’s refreshing to see someone go in that direction.

If you haven’t heard her past work, now’s a good time to catch up, and make sure to follow her on social media so you can stay in the loop for whatever she puts out next.
