Naarm/Melbourne singer-songwriter Magdalia delivers a breakup anthem for the ages with her latest single “Housewife.” Inspired by a close family member’s relationship struggles, the song explores the complex emotions that can come from a bitter breakup.
Magdalia’s incredible lyrics really resonated with me. They brilliantly take us inside the head of someone rebuilding their life on their own. These words can be cutting, vulnerable, and fierce, often all at the same time, but they’re always real.
Magdalia’s vocals also sound incredible on this number. Her rich voice has such authority; it commands you to listen and pay attention to what she’s singing, even if it hurts. I can definitely hear why people have compared her to rare talents like Florence & The Machine and Lorde.
After earning a Music Victoria Award nomination last year and playing local shows at the Paris Cat Jazz Club and The Festival of Sails, Magdalia’s showing us all that she’s one to watch. Follow her on TikTok to learn more about her music.
