Madisyn Whajne

Madisyn Whajne has spent most of her life searching: for her purpose, for her family, for herself.

​From that point forward, Whajne’s entire life would be shaped by a hunger for truth and understanding, a hunger that lies at the core of her extraordinary debut, ‘Save Our Hearts.’ Recorded live to tape at Montreal’s famed Hotel2Tango studio, the album is imbued with a visceral sense of loneliness and longing, a burning desire for connection and companionship that propels it endlessly forward in pursuit of something perpetually out of reach.

While Whajne rarely tackles her tumultuous journey in explicit narrative terms, her story is written between the lines here as she navigates love and trust, reunion and rejection, faith and fate. Her songs walk a delicate tightrope between indie rock charm and punk bravado, mixing gritty guitars and muscular percussion with dreamy production and intoxicating hooks, and her delivery is emotionally nimble to match, balancing hope and despair in equal measure. The result is a captivating collection that hints at everything from Alvvays and Snail Mail to Rilo Kiley and Real Estate, an invigorating, bittersweet debut that insists on resilience and survival in the face of doubt and disappointment.
