Madame Psychosis, the Toronto-based indie rock sensation, has captivated us here at TIG with their latest single, ‘Hopeless,’ a soulful and melodically rich track that showcases the band’s distinctive fusion of alternative pop and indie rock. From the first note, the song draws you in with a great soulful feel and immediately highlights a sound that you know is going to wow you.

The song unfolds organically, beginning with captivating vocals that lead you into a delicate musical flow. Skillfully building momentum, the instrumentation is introduced seamlessly, creating an enticing tension that crescendos to a chorus that hits with the force of a freight train. The vocals, guitars, and drums harmonise flawlessly, crafting a melody that oscillates between soulful and almost gospel-like elements before unleashing powerful AOR dynamics in the pre-chorus and chorus.

Madame Psychosis’s lead singer and lyricist, Michelle Mondesir, delivers mesmerising vocals that rival luminaries such as Joss Stone and Vonda Shepherd, blending soulful depth with a rocky edge. The song’s lyrics convey a message of inspiration and determination, reflecting the theme of overcoming heartbreak and embracing newfound freedom.

I’m no longer hopeless,

No longer blaming myself for the fall.

No longer building up all of these walls

Hopeless

The musicianship on ‘Hopeless’ is impeccable, with each instrument serving the song’s narrative and providing tasteful fills when needed without overshadowing the captivating vocals. A testament to their musical skill. Recorded at Union Sound Company and Raventape Music Room in Toronto and mixed by Alex Gamble, the production quality also enhances the impact of the song.
