Maddy O’Neal has provided us with a tantalising way in which we can start our week through the release of ‘VITAL SIGNS’, a sensational blend of blaring instrumentation and commanding foundations that’ll send a surge of energy into your system immediately.
It’s simply impossible for listeners to not be hooked from the word go with ‘VITAL SIGNS’, with a swarm of emphatic energy blasting through your speakers through a strong synth and bass presence providing plenty of electrification that is further injected by the penetrating percussion on display that ensures that anthemic nature across the duration of the album.
“The central theme around VITAL SIGNS is about finding signs of life and learning to navigate personal evolution in a mercurial world. Being alive means experiencing the full spectrum of emotions—the good and the bad—and evolving as you ride the waves. There’s a lot of anxious energy in the world right now, with rapid technological advances and changes in the way we connect. This record is about navigating evolution while staying true to your roots and finding your pulse amidst overstimulation. The concept of ‘evolve or remain’ played a big part in shaping the theme. Sometimes, you have to strip away the noise and just check for your vital signs—learning to breathe through moments of turmoil and recognizing that nothing is permanent. You can’t fight evolution; you just have to make it your own.” – Maddy O’Neal
