Madi Diaz Releases New Single/Video “Nervous”
Nashville-based songwriter Madi Diaz releases “Nervous,” a new single about recognizing unhealthy coping mechanisms. “Nervous,” her third single for ANTI-, follows the evocative “New Person, Old Place” and “Man In Me,” and further presents Diaz’s ability to write direct and introspective music, a craft she’s spent years refining. The song’s frank lyrics are bellied by infectious guitar and Diaz’s buoyant voice: “I know why I lie to myself // I’m not really looking to get healthy // I have so many perspectives I’m losing perspective I make me nervous.” The accompanying video was shot in Nashville and directed by Jordan Bellamy. It was inspired by and includes an homage to the final scene of Andrei Tarkovsky’s film The Stalker, a film that has always resonated with Diaz through its otherworldly nature, as well as its thoughtful and often anxiety inducing pace.
“You know when you hold a mirror up to a mirror and you get an infinite amount of reflections from every angle? That’s what ‘Nervous’ is about,” says Diaz. “It’s when you’re in a loop of looking at yourself from every vantage point until you’re caught up in your own tangled web of bullshit. It’s about catching yourself acting out your crazy and you’re finally self-aware enough to see it, but you’re still out of your body enough and curious enough to watch yourself do it.”
With the new single “Nervous”, Madi brings in this explosive rhythm within their lyrics and vocal notes, this beautifully balanced mix of guitar, drums, and Madi’s vivacious vocal attributes all unite to display this bright performance. Once again Madi writes this body of work to emit such an emotional and raw tendency highlighted with the honest words. Madi Diaz understands the importance of a memorable melody, the flow of this release will hook you.
Madi Diaz continues to cause a stir with your affections delivering this soaring composition filled with electrifying pulses of emotional enrichment. Stunning vocal melodies captivate the intimacy from the honest lyrical deliverance.
