NYC-based indie-electronic artist, Olivia Reid, is often celebrated for her boundary-pushing production style, so it’s no surprise that her evocative single, “Madness,” got the royal remix treatment by WEMI & J. Hamilton!
Chock full of cinematic electro-pop, the remix of “Madness” transcends genres, igniting the track into a euphoric dancefloor dream.
“I first wrote ‘Madness’ as a three-act song because it felt so much like a cinematic story,” shared Reid. “Exploring another chapter of that story via a remix felt right, and I was thrilled to work with J. and WEMI to explore that next iteration. This world of dance music has inspired me greatly in recent years, so seeing people connect with ‘Madness’ in that environment is food for the soul.”
“‘Madness’ came at a time when my life was truly in its name…Madness,” explains WEMI. “Tapping into different sounds, genres, and instruments was therapeutic, let alone Olivia’s soothing voice.”
J. Hamilton adds, “Olivia’s original version of ‘Madness’ is soothing and cathartic, and with this remix, we wanted to take those same feelings of release into the club and festival setting. WEMI and I had a solid mix, and then my brother Peter Hodgson took it to the next level with the beautiful string arrangement. I’m hoping that people get some good tears from this one!”
The original version of “Madness (Act I)” can be found on Olivia’s 2023 EP, TO BE NAMED BY THE PEOPLE.
