Madeline Rosene isn’t here to whisper sweet nothings at the universe. Her new single, “I’ll Seduce God to Get into Heaven“, drops August 28th, and it’s the loudest, most unapologetic thing she’s put out yet. No subtlety. No soft edges. All pure, snarling attitude wrapped in a 135bpm indie punk battering ram.
The title alone tells you exactly where she’s coming from. This is a song about defiance feeding on itself—messing with the man upstairs, playing god with your own rules, and letting your inner wolf out to run wild without a leash. It’s not here to talk you down from the ledge. It’s here to push you off and make sure you land on your feet. That swagger isn’t just in the lyrics; it’s baked into every guitar riff and every breath she takes on the mic.
What really makes this thing hit hard is the production. Two-time Grammy-nominated producer and mix engineer Eric Emery—the guy who’s worked with Blink-182, Alice Cooper, and Yellowcard—took the reins, and you can hear his fingerprints all over the mix. It’s punchy, it’s clean, and it’s got just enough grit to feel dangerous. The melody runs like it’s being chased, and Madeline doesn’t look back once. This track follows her debut album Raised on Porn and its follow-up Everyday Existential Crisis, both of which already earned her serious critical respect. With a resume like that, you’d expect her to rest on her laurels. But instead, she’s turned the volume all the way up.
She’s also no stranger to the big names—she’s worked with Grammy-nominated mixer Johnny K, who’s helped shape records for Disturbed and Plain White T’s. And when she’s not in the studio, she’s tearing up LA stages at spots like the Hotel Cafe, the Viper Room, and Adults Only. This is an artist who’s earned her stripes and then some.
If you’re tired of safe, predictable rock that plays it straight, put this one on repeat. Madeline Rosene is taking a big, defiant swing at the heavens, and she doesn’t care who’s watching. August 28th is coming. Madeline takes the whole pot. Let her.
