History Of A Feeling

Description

Rage, confusion, despair, blindness and introspection - Madi Diaz runs the gamut of emotions on *History Of A Feeling*, her debut album for ANTI-. It’s an album that undeniably cements Diaz’s status as a top-tier songwriter, a craft she’s spent years refining, and one in which Diaz establishes herself as an artist capable of distilling deep feeling with ease. Diaz taps into a range of folk, country, and pop leanings - she’s as influenced by Patty Griffin and Lori McKenna as she is by the sounds of PJ Harvey and the candor of Kathleen Hanna. On *History Of A Feeling*, the Nashville-based songwriter grapples with the dissolution of a meaningful relationship. By the end of the album, she puts herself in a state of introspection where she doesn’t hate herself for being so heartbroken. The songs on *History Of A Feeling* are the most direct and introspective that Diaz has ever written. The few times she’s had the chance to perform them live for an audience, Diaz describes the experience as one in which she feels extremely present, even though she is singing about emotions that began to take root years ago.
