Rising indie star Madison Margot returns with a compelling new single, “TOO MUCH!”—a poignant exploration of the magnetic pull of past love. Known for her deeply vulnerable and autobiographical songwriting, Margot’s latest track is a beautifully crafted reflection on the bittersweet tension of revisiting an old flame.
“I wrote ‘TOO MUCH!’ about the bittersweet tension of revisiting an old love,” Margot explains. “It captures the push and pull between familiarity and distance, the magnetic allure of shared history, and the lingering chemistry that refuses to fade.” This narrative is brought to life through Margot’s intimate lyrics and the slow-burning production crafted with Tone Def (Nat & Alex Wolff). A seamless fusion of smoky guitars, soft Americana drums, and a subtle bassline, the track offers a laid-back Southern California vibe, which perfectly complements the song’s reflective mood.
With lyrics like “You seem so different from when I last saw you / What could we be if we started this brand new?” Margot invites listeners into the depths of longing and nostalgia, capturing the essence of returning to something that once was. The track’s production contrasts with the harsh truths of what led to the end of the relationship, creating a sonically and emotionally balanced piece.
Margot, who’s quickly established herself as one to watch in LA’s indie music scene, adds a visual element to the song through the music video for “TOO MUCH!” Channeling femininity and liberation, the video was produced with an all-female crew, including Cassie Howell (Director and Editor) and Olivia Neil (Director of Photography), an experience Margot described as “epic.”
Following her well-received September single, “Heralds of Hope,” Margot is building a name for herself as a rising force in indie music. Her previous works, including the stadium-rock-inspired “God Laughs” and the wistful country vibes of “All My Wishes,” have positioned Margot as an artist with a broad musical range.
As the world awaits more from this talented singer-songwriter, “TOO MUCH!” is a compelling reminder of Margot’s growing artistic depth. Keep an eye on Madison Margot as she continues to shape the indie music landscape with her heartfelt storytelling and distinct sound.
