Madi Diaz has announced a new album called Fatal Optimist, which is out October 10 via ANTI-. The follow-up to last year’s Weird Faith is led by the slow-burning, emotive new single ‘Feel Something’, which you can check out below.
Following the dissoluation of a relationship she had ended, Diaz took herself to an island. “I put myself on an island,” the singer-songwriter wrote in her journal. “I was already describing myself as an emotional island swimming in so much of an ocean of feelings. It was the perfect physical manifestation, alone with all of my disappointment.”
Diaz went on to work on the album with co-producer Gabe Wax at his Infinite Family Studio. “This was the first time in my career that I stayed in this heavy place with the songs after leaving the studio rather than trying to escape it,” she explained.
She added: “Fatal Optimism is the innate hope for something magical. It’s the weird faith that kicks in while knowing that there is just plain risk that comes with wanting someone or something. It’s when you have no control over the outcome, but still choose to experience every moment that happens, and put your whole heart in it.”
