The weekend’s parties may still be days away, but Madoc Plane’s new track “Overdrive” will have you grooving as if they were already here. This is such a funky little number, with Madoc’s effortless falsetto soaring effortlessly over the beats. If Jamiroquai and The Weeknd had a musical baby, it might sound a little something like this.
“‘Overdrive’ is an electro-pop track showing hints of soul and dance. I tried to draw upon the sounds of The Weeknd and Kaytranada in this one, using a strong, driving drum beat underneath multiple layers of samples, synths and ambience,” Madoc explained. “There was a period earlier this year where I used a lot of mindfulness exercises to work on my mental health and I found it super helpful and inspiring. ‘Overdrive’ touches on this period, representing getting past self doubt and putting yourself out there with confidence.”
“Overdrive” comes from Madoc Plane’s debut EP Own Worst Enemy. Featuring previous single “Right Reason,” it’s well worth a listen. If you live near Boorloo/Perth, you can experience his music live at the stacked Tone City Records Dreamfest show at Rosemount Hotel. It was originally slated for November 5, but has been postponed. However, that just means you’ve got a little more time to nab early bird tickets before the new date is announced.
