Today we’re talking about Blake Madison, a 23-year-old Washington DC artist who sang at the National Cathedral, runs her own artist development agency, and makes music that sounds, in her own words, like it could be in Sinners 2. Basically, we think she’s great.
Blake Madison – Wait My Dear
Blake Madison’s Wait My Dear is stunning cinematic, orchestral alternative pop from a classically-trained DC artist intent on building a whole world, not just a catalog.
Wait My Dear is an immersive piece of cinematic alternative pop from Washington DC’s Blake Madison, and it immediately signals that this is an artist thinking on a larger scale than most debut releases. With roots in choral performance at the Washington National Cathedral and years of classical training, she brings a technical precision to contemporary music that elevates every element. Layered harmonies, poetic lyricism and genre-fluid production sit at the intersection of alternative pop, R&B and soul.
At 23, Blake Madison is also the founder of an artist development agency, shaping the sound, visual world and rollout strategies of emerging artists alongside her own work. That dual perspective, artist and architect, gives her music a level of intentionality you can feel in the first thirty seconds. Each release unfolds like a scene, as her bio puts it, and Wait My Dear is exactly that, carefully constructed, emotionally immersive, and built to linger long after the fade. It’s brilliant, and we’re very excited about what she does next.
