ECHO
About this episode

Growing up as an introverted and anxious child in Toronto, Maddie Regent has always drawn comfort from music. Getting lost in the melodies brought her peace, while writing lyrics became like diary entries. 

Now based in Brooklyn, the “Girl of Your Dreams” singer is continuing to confront her insecurities on her latest release “Sleeptalking.” The shimmering synth-pop release is an encapsulation of  “classic self-sabotage” as Maddie desperately searches for reasons to rationalize her unhappiness.  

We chatted with the singer-songwriter about “Sleeptalking,” creating music with her partner Cade Hoppe, and what to expect from this next era.
