Hot off her appearance at Nostalgia Festival this year, Phoebe Vic releases ‘Mad Woman’, an alt-pop, country-tinged track, calling out gaslighters.
“This song was inspired by someone who tried to tell my friends I was crazy, after attempting to gaslight me.” Vic explains. “I wanted to write something that said exactly how I felt about it, while also exposing their behaviour. Thus, ‘Mad Woman’ came to be”.
‘Mad Woman’ was created alongside APRA Silver Scroll nominee and producer, Emily C. Browning, with mix and master by Math Bishop.
The production lilts and shifts as the story unfolds, punctuated with janky guitar riffs and bright operatic vocal samples. With its rolling bass-line and shuffling percussion, it creates the perfect backdrop for Vic’s blunt and sometimes sarcastic drawl to hit home.
“I know there will be many people who have had a similar experience of someone trying to convince them they’re hysterical or crazy.” says Vic. “Well, if you want a “mad woman”, here she is.”
For fans of Lola Young and Self-Esteem, ‘Mad Woman’ is available on all streaming services and is available to purchase on Bandcamp and iTunes.
