“Bailing on Your Birthday” by pop singer-songwriter Madeline Rhodes offers more than just an infectious beat. This is quite the unlikely anthem that uplifts our struggle with mental health, especially in social settings.
The song has an effortless catchy beat and electronic synthpop ambiance. Its upbeat tempo and vibrant ambiance make it an instant earworm, a tune that could easily fit into any party playlist. You can play it at any party, sing, and dance along to the pulse. But it has a catch.
The song’s message will prevent you from playing it at someone’s birthday party. The lyrics take a turn as Madeline Rhodes shares her personal experience of dealing with a depressive episode during her best friend’s birthday celebration. Madeline’s smooth and rich vocals add a layer of authenticity to the narrative. Her delivery, both catchy and tentative, draws listeners into the emotions behind the lyrics.
Madeline Rhodes brings a unique perspective to this song, shaped by her malfunctioning upbringing. She has come a long way from Broadway to activism and now as a solo artist. The shift to releasing music under her given name allows us to connect with this empowered artist more directly.
With “Bailing on Your Birthday,” The singer shows us to reflect and realize when it is time to step back from potentially triggering situations, and recognizing the importance of self-care resonates strongly in today’s society.
The songstress has a whole album up her sleeves this 2024. As it nears its soon drop, let’s stay tuned to her journey and jam to “Bailing on Your Birthday.”
